Open prostate surgery is looking more and more likely
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hello Everyone, If any one out there has had open prostate surgery for a huge prostate of over 200cc/grams with or without a large median lobe (I have a large median lobe) I would like to hear from you. I have not ruled out some of the lesser invasive treatments but it is looking less and less likely at this point. The doctor is almost certain I don't have prostate cancer. He will biopsy my prostate while in there.
What I am looking for is words of encouragement and hope. I am very vulnerable and just a little terrified. I am not a surgery kind of person. So, please, let me know how you did and how you recovered. NO HORROR STORIES PLEASE! Thanks.

I was 123 cc and had a PAE which was extremely successful. It is a minor procedure and no surgery. If you opt for a TURP or removal your die is cast for the rest of your life. I would suggest starting with PAE or possibly FLA which if they don't work allow for more invasive procedures. Both are so simple and quick. Good luck.
