Hi.. every, it seems every ones journey is different.. there doesn't seem to a Standard response to Prostate Cancer !! I'm now 75 and in good health... but I have Prostate Cancer, I've had it for 8 years and been on watch and wait, which to me seems to me as , we are not going to do anything till later, this I feel has damaged a lot of guys !!! My PSA has gone up from 18 to 29 , but no one can say what that means?I I've now been told I'm too old for a Prostatectomy!! Don't know why I wasn't told that earlier? The last Biopsy was a nightmare !! I was awake and ifelt so abused, painful and people coming in and out of the theatre!!! That was my 5th biopsy, all the previous ones I had a general....
I hope that I am not giving any one here hope of not a over night stay for the TURP operation. I had My turp operation in June 2021 operation at 09.00 and at 10pm I was on my way home on same day.. I was told if bleeding stops you can go home.
As you have a catheter in,,, you have a bag for urine and that shows how much blood is draining with your urine. Mind you mid 2021 was just begining of the end of the some of the covid precautions. I guess they were pushing me out of the ward for my safety.
