Last year I had blood in the urine for well over a week, sometimes none then there again, clots came out in the first couple of days. Blood in semen was dark old blood, several days later and caused some discomfort.
This time I appear to be bleeding less, released after the first urine sample about 45 mins post procedure.
Definitely much less blood at home, (6hrs since at writing this) last year it was like peeing red wine and was a little concerning.

The blood in semen is a delicate area, I ‘knocked one out’ after my biopsy just to check , scared the beejeezus out of me how dark red it was

Not had an erection since

Saw my consultant yesterday for final chat about my RT starting tomorrow , he started by saying ‘as long as I sign off your scans we are good to go’

I was told that the CT scan picked up some ‘gas’ moving down my bowel and may need redoing , I really thought they would have checked by now

But he did say if we don’t get a phone call today we are good to go, so day 1 for me tomorrow , been well on top of hydration, even starting to enjoy water as a drink

Hoping for none of the numerous side effects mentioned although mostly under 1:10 risk many 1:100

Good advice above it becomes a little club

Good luck DavidG58 the days will fly by. As others have said make the most of the social atmosphere of the waiting room, it becomes quite a little club.
If you are lucky like me the side effects will be minimum.
Bowel empty and bladder full are the rules of the day, it's just the timing of the latter that can be a bit of a challenge.
Keep us posted on progress.
