Hoping your results are favorable. You can follow your doctor's suggestion or not..


Was your biopsy a TRUS or a Transperineal method??? In 2015 I had a TRUS biopsy a week before my IM70.3FL and had to cancel. In 2018 I had my 2nd Transperineal 3D Prostate Mapping Biopsy due to a PCa recurrence, I'm a Gleason 10 (5+5), and had to bicycle 2 days later for our local Relay For Life. Due to a double flat almost at the end of my OVERNIGHT RIDE, I only biked 136 miles short of the planned 150 miles.


1ST -- Good luck to all.


2nd -- whatever the results are, OBTAIN A 2ND OPINION especially if you had a TRUS biopsy and even if results are(were) Gleason 3+3, request a 3TmpMRI since a TRUS IS NOT very reliable.


3rd -- Highly suggest that before any chosen procedure is performed if you are told that you have PCa (Prostate Cancer), do online research about PCa AND join a PCa Forum.


4th -- HOPEFULLY your antibiotic was not CIPRO (https://www.fda.gov/news-events/pres...-sugar-adverse) or another type of fluoroquinolones.
