First time I had the PSA level checked I was at 9. Had the biopsy and was 25% cancer. Had it removed 3 months later by robotic method. That was 4(?) years ago. I am 60.

The biopsy is done by sticking some sort of probe up your anus and then a needle/collector shoots through the wall of the rectum and into the prostate and grabs a sample.

Doc said it would be like a bee sting.

I have been a beekeeper. The sting was a lot more than a bee sting. Doc needed to do ten and by the sixth, I was hoping he was at ten.
