    The Urologist I've been seeing for about 5 years now wants to do a TURP on me. I have BPH but not a very large prostate. It must be growing just right though, because it sure blocks me up.

    I get yearly blood tests and my psa level has been very high, other times over the last 3 years probably a little above average for my age. I've been doing cic for most of that time. First they wanted to do a Green Light Laser on me because I was not able to pee at all. I declined and decided to keep on doing cic as it was easy for me and I enjoyed the other advantages to surgery. Now they want to do a TURP instead (I"m not sure why he changed his mind; I guess because I wasn't going for the laser on such short notice) but his secondary reason was to get some tissue for a biopsy due to my elevated psa level. I'm getting a lot of info that a man's psa level is not a good indicator of prostate cancer. Especially if one is using catheters that alone is enough to elevate the level readings..
