I had my transperineal (TP) biopsy by Dr. Stratton at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center yesterday. He did not use Levaquin or any floroquinolones as I had requested. They did use Rocephin as my antibiotic. I did have general anesthesia. No issues.

Results by next week. The TP biopsy needs to be the standard procedure.

Dr. Stratton is good doctor and one has to be their own patient advocate.

Tim,Agree. But they did not use that much of Rocephin in my IV. Doc was aware of the study you mentioned earlier in a reply post and I gave him a copy. He did agree with the study.
