I had a TURP at NHS Lister Stevenage Herts England, 30 days ago. I had BHP. That procedure has improved my quality of life beyond belief. Im 63 years old, keep fit fiend. No visible blood after week one. Until the op. Id experienced lower abdominal pains for a decade. Now gone. My inability to pee meaningfully prompted me to visit my GP who reffered me to a consultant urologist. Men, any problems down there see a doctor, get over yourselves, theyve seen it 100s of times. Nice work chaps.

Insulin resistance. The University at Glasgow has added mebendazole to docetaxel for PC. Mebendazole is Rx, Fenbendazole is not. Either may be used as a preventive iirc. They are cheap. Also, Ivermectin has been added to TNBC by the City of Hope, so there's that.

Could someone please explain how PSA Density is a part of this conversation? If someone has a density of .21 in mid-60s, for example. Thanks.

Amazing content!! I’m a new subscriber, PSA went from 6.4 to 10.5 in 3 months, did biopsy, couldn’t tell me if it was negative /positive. Went in the tube, still no answers. Went in the tube again, 4 months later 3.1 mm lump in already huge prostrate according to the doctor. He wants to do biopsy of the lump on the prostrate, is it a normal procedure to open (biopsy) a potential cancerous tumor? Any issue with additional cells entering other areas of the body during biopsy. I keep hearing about Amy, who is Amy and where does she practice?
-
7:00 I’m not understanding why the entire prostate isn’t removed. Why leave any portion intact?
-
If I understood Dr. Schaeffer correctly, he indicated there were potentially 10 doctors in the US who were as skilled as Dr. Amy Krambeck. Is there anyway possible to find out who these other doctors are? My urologist is recommending a TURP, but based on what I'm learning about HoLEP, this definitely appears to be a better solution.
