Maurice's Story
Be mindful of the biopsies, and think the process through as the sensations due to certain nerve damage due to the procedure, which was quite invasive. Important for research to be done but mindful of where the information is given. A website with information, and support groups would be beneficial. Make sure you bring someone else to the diagnosis stage
Be mindful of this and flag this to the clinicians, don't explain it away but speak to someone about it
Talk to someone "problem shared is a problem halved", especially as black men and the stereotypes surrounding this.
The biposy caused few sexual problems
No
Would not do the biopsy again, would rely on the scan instead.
