Welcome, me too, to the club, sorry to see ya here, and sorry you have to join. There's lots of experience with the different approaches to treatment, both before and after, so ask away. It helps us to understand your situation if you post some details of your journey so far here for us. Adding a signature would be a good way to do that. open Control Panel function above then edit profile and go to the bottom and fill in a sig. form and it'll post it here, the next time you post. Again, welcome...

Hello me too,

Welcome to the world of PC and this fine group of people. I hope you find some answers and comfort here, as I have thus far. Sorry you are having to go through this, like most here, it hit me by surprise too. I am glad to be on the other side of my surgery, so good luck to you ahead.

Hey Me Too,

Welcome to the club nobody wants to join. It sounds like you have decided your treatment options already so good luck with the surgery. Dealing with cancer requires lots of patience and a great attitude. Healing goes better if we are positive about our life.

So please stay with us. We can all get well together...

Hello, me too,

Welcome to the site.  We are all in this together and I have received so much input and info. that is almost overwhelming. My recommendation is to do your homework.  Research all you can about this nasty circumstance, and make your decisions accordingly.  This is the only site I go to for insight and a wealth of experienced gentlemen (and in some cases, their wives), to get more information and an idea of what I can expect down the road.  There are some great people here like Biker, TC, and James C.. They can tell you mluch more than I can because I'm fairly new here but I don't miss a day without checking in.  Do fill out the signature profile.  It helps.

Stay in touch.

Bob

Hi me too,

Welcome to the site. Boy I sure know how you feel. I had turned 50 in January and had my dx in Feb. It takes awhile to digest all of this as information's coming pretty fast. Try to be patient. Like the other guys said there is a lot of experience and information here. Just keep reading and asking questions. The best of luck to you and yours.

Welcome, me too...Patrick.....I am a wife...Ive been in this for seven years....and my dear husband has been the full route. External radiation, brachy, lupron, and then when the cancer returned four years later, salvage surgery, fistula operation, many many cystoscopys, AUS inplant, which failed, and now coming up a hip replacement followed by a AUS redo... This is a site where you can vent and also learn...I wish that we had known about it in the beginning....Good luck to you and keep coming back. There are dear people here.......Diane
