My colonoscopy caused no problem at all.

Did they use a box brownie on you.

HaHa

They punctured it.

Later in the day at home my temp was 39.1, I felt awful

Eventually got sorted after antibiotics and 2 scans!

If nothing else I'm back up and running and can't wait to be back at the Etihad this afternoon

The Consultant was a beautiful 30+ year old lady and made the finger up the bum more pleasant. ;)
She advised me that if I had a biopsy then my legs would be in stirrups like the ones they use sometimes on the ladies for inspection.
However with me waiting for my hip op on 9th December I know it would be impossible to get my legs raised for any amount of time.Did you have it done this way or laying on your side , if thats an option ?

Yes I lay on my back with my feet in stirrups with a nurse talking to me to take my mind off what was happening.

I was 8 on the Gleason scale with a PSA of 4.6 back in 2017

Like you I had Brachytherapy, 15 Radiotherapy sessions and 2 years of hormones in 2018

6 years later PSA still 0.1

I'm sure rsole will be fine but might need something like Brachytherapy too imo for what it's worth

Rsole - this is all painless by the way, nothing to fear

All the best mate

Thanks mate, It`s just another thing to add to my extensive list of illnesses. It is what it is.

Just had a letter from my Hospital saying that there was nothing to be seen from the scan for my prostate.
However it showed that I have an enlarged prostate and that it may well cause problems with my urinary system.
Anyone else have an enlarged prostate and the problems please ?
Cheers,
A relieved Oakie
