I did accuse the doctors of removing my Prostate, taking one needle zap at a time.

One of my brothers says much the same thing.

My father died of prostate cancer and his brother also had prostate cancer but died of something else. One of my brothers had his prostate removed a few years ago, while the other is on active surveillance indefinitely. I've been lucky so far with only BPH (billiard ball size vs. normal walnut), but I'm sure I'll be getting more biopsies along the way.

Last fall I spent 5 weeks with a Foley catheter before getting a TURP operation, after which everything's fine again, at least for now.

Glad to hear that your ablation worked.

With a great surgeon, you would have been better off having your prostate removed because you wouldn’t have any long-term urinary or ED problems to deal with; and never have to worry a out actually getting prostate cancer.
