Transperineal biopsy options & location recommendations

I just had transperineal prostate biopsy with ultrasound in Fargo ND. couldn't go through rectum with ulcerative colitis. I believe the doctor that performed it did a great job. Unfortunately 2 biopsies came back cancer. Now I am researching proton radiation vs prostate removal.

Take your time and do your research so that you are comfortable with whatever decision you make for your own individual case and numbers. PC does not kill you quickly, so you have time to ruin your eyesight reading articles first.
