Just Wondering About Prostate Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi, Tom, we were wondering what happened with the TUMT that caused you to have to go to the emergency room. Would you mind telling us about that? Just want to know what to be on the lookout for.

Thank you!

A year ago, I had a TUMT which turned out to be a disaster and I wished I'd been in the hospital instead of going back and forth to the Emergency Room. In the interim, I fought the PCa with radiation treatments. Thus far, I'm happy with my choices except for the TUMT. But I suppose the green light laser would have worked equally

well, and I probably should have chosen that over the TUMT a year ago. But we'll never know.Tom 65/PSA 0.1/diagnosed 4/09
