robo45vt,
Did they do the biopsy via transpernial or rectal? Rectal carries a much higher rate of infections.

I would speak to your urologist about the infections and you concerns about more infections. Asked him/her about cranberry juice or supplements as being helful.

I know my oncologist/radiologist did a smear test prior to me getting Space/Oar and Markers into my prostrate. This allows them to target a specific antibiotic to get prior to procedure based on that smear. I am not sure that was done for you but asked about it.

Good luck on your surgery?
