I had a TURP operation about a year and a half ago. Overnight in the hospital, not even an aspirin worth of pain, out hunting quail within a week. No aftereffects except for urgent urination for a couple of months, but that eventually subsided. No ongoing medication (at least for urologic matters), but the doctor wants a visit once a year for the time being.

All in all, I’ve been quite lucky. Plenty of prostate trouble in the family, including cancer that killed my father at 77.

Wow. That’s amazing. I had a biopsy done 2 weeks ago and I feel like the doc shredded my insides. Supposed to get test results this week.
