Had a prostate biopsy on Monday and already got the results, Negative for cancer, yay. Although I guess that means I just have to live with getting up 6 times per night. I tried a medication that my urologist prescribed but it worked too well and I ended up in the er getting a catheter cause I couldn't pee at all. There is elective surgery but I'm not sure the V.A. will cover it. Well, anyway, I DON'T have cancer.
