Im surprised you haven't said this yet.

Castrate resistance.

When you fight kicking and screaming, as they wheel you in the operating room to remove your testicles.

Monday humor.

Thats how I was on my way to Prostatectomy. Was resistant until after the first injection of propofol.

My Urologist said I needed to start ADT immediately and I had a choice of a couple of drugs. He began to explain the differences and I shut him up by telling him I want a bilateral Orchiectomy NOW. Less than 24 hours later the boys were gone.

A few days before my prostatectomy I had an interview with the anaesthesiologist and signed a document. As I was in no state to read the ‘fine print’ I thought afterwards that I may have given the docs permission to do whatever they wanted including removing my testicles. Holy moly I thought, so I checked back with the doc and she laughed and said no, they wouldn’t remove my precious testes (her words) Whew! As a side note when I finally hopped up on the surgical table, the perky nurse asked me the usual questions- sort of like in the army….what is your name, DOB and then “why are you here?” At that moment my sense of humour almost got the worst of me as I momentarily thought that my answer should be…”I’m here for an appendectomy”. But the line of serious looking dudes and assistants all dressed in white and fully masked caused me to rapidly rethink my potentially ‘funny’ response.

Don’t feel bad, I said tummy tuck. No one laughed either.

Would have liked to have seen the looks on their faces. Some of these medical folks get quite serious
