Great interview, especially the comparisons US-UK comparison, the jumbotron vs out for the count given the topical vs General Anaesthesia. You've both demystified a lot and put it into real-experiences. Thanks for the awareness.
Plus, now we know Anthony's prostate is the gift that keeps giving to research.
I hear you on the whole catheter experience, Anthony. I had to advocate for my Dad after a TURBT procedure to get the doctors (the nurse we had 'wasn't allowed to do it') to remove the catheter when a junior doctor didn't position it correctly in the hospital - for my Dad despite his high pain tolerance (he had rheumatoid arthritis, gnarled twisted hands etc) the catheter was a BIG pain.
Best wishes to you both with living with the uncertainty and being strung between blood tests-results scans-MDTs etc etc...as you know, this is interwoven as a red thread within life's tapestry for me now.

Thanks for doing these interviews, my friend. It was a blast, hope to do Vol. 2 sometime!
My pleasure and we are so going to be doing a sequel...!
