Ultrasound/biopsy & enema

Lack of an enema before the biopsy would not affect the results of your biopsy it might make the plowing a little harder for the doctor to get in there as easy. Is the enema kit just a fleet enema or are you taking one of those kind like you do before a colonscopy? Why are they doing and MRI? I didn't get an MRI just the bone scan and CT. Only had the enema prior to the biopsy. Your numbers are real similar to mine. It is now three weeks since my surgery and every day is better and better. 

Hi Mac & Donna,



There are …No silly questions on this forum. There are areas of concern that some us have and some don’t have….. Then there are other areas that some have concerns about and the others don’t…



So ~ if something comes into your mind………… Question away my friend. yeah

Knowledge is Power, Knowledge/Power takes away the fear.



Remember……………….. We all travel the same path with stepping-stones in front of us… We don’t all step on the same ones….. and that’s okay. That’s where we have options!!! And this is a good thing.



That bus that hit you seems really big right now….. WE know!!!! But I will tell you in a little while…. You’ll realize it’s only a mini bus and you will get up from the hit…



The enema may be a doctor preference ~ you might call and ask him… this may ease your mind… …. I don’t see where it would change results… and having an MRI, CAT & Bone Scan is doctor preference. I asked about these test at our consultation and our urologist said they were not necessary for Buddy. He did say that he had just sent a younger man for these test but from our scores… he felt they were not necessary.



I want you to key into the read letters on your signature…. Both clear!!!!! Positive thinking will definitely head you in the right direction… J



Take care friend and please know that we care. You will soon leave the fear behind because you will gain the knowledge that puts it all into perspective.



Sending special HUGS…

Lee & her Buddy
