I am 2 weeks out from biopsy however I opted to be knocked out for the procedure. My size is 80 which I know if very large. My PSA was 6.8 in December and retested in January at 6.9. I did all the right things before the test. Last year it was 3.8. So of course doc wanted to do a biopsy to see if it might be cancer. Thank the Lord is was not and all was benign.
I have had to double up on Tamsulosin this past week after getting a bladder infection. Finishing up the antibiotic now and I hope things will start to get back to normal after this weekend. And maybe I can go back to one Tamsulosin a day since that was working so well before. The double dose and probably a combination with the antibiotic makes me feel yuk during the day.
Just was curious how long your full recovery was from the procedure. And also hope it all turned out good for you too.
