	If I choose to block a poster, will they know it? Will a thread show the name, but block the post by that individual? Back to Top

	The ignored poster will have no way of knowing they are ignored. The ignored posters future posts will not show on your screen, although others may refer to them, or even quote them, and curiousity may make you unignore and peek....

	Jeff, If you have chosen to ignore someone why would you care about pissing them off? It's your business alone who you choose to ignore. JT 64 years old. PSA rising for 10 years to 40, free psa 10-15. Had 5 urologists, 12 biopsies and MRIS all neg. Doctors DXed BPH and continue to get biopsies yearly. 13th biopsy positive in 10-08, 2 cores of 25, G6 less than 5%. Scheduled for surgery as recommended by Urological Oncologist. 2nd Opinion from Dr Sholtz, a Prostate Oncologist, said DX wrong, pathology shows indolant cancer, but psa history indicates large cancer or metastasis. Futher tests and Color Doppler confirmed large transition zone tumor that 13 biopsies and MRIS missed. G7, 4+3, approx 16mmX18mm. Combidex MRI in Holland eliminated lymphnode mets. Casodex and Proscar reduced psa to 0.6 and prostate from 60mm to 32mm. Changed diet, no meat and dairy. All staging tests indicate that tumor is local and non agressive. (PAP, PCA3, MRIS, Color Doppler, Combidex, tumor reaction to diet and Casodex, and tumor location in transition zone). Surgery a poor option because tumor is located next to the urethea and positive margin is very likely; permanent incontenance is also high probability with surgery. Seed implants on 5-19-09, 3 hours door to door, no pain, minor side affects are frequency and urgency; very controlable with Flowmax and lasted 4 weeks. Daily activities resumed day after implants with no restrictions. Gold markers implanted with seeds to guide IMRT. 25 treatments of IMRT 6 weeks after seed implants. No side affects at all. PSA at end of treatment 0.02 mostly the result of Casodex. When I stop Casodex next week expect PSA to rise. Next PSA in November. Treatments and side affects have greatly exceeded my expectations. Glad to have this 11 year journey finally conclude. JohnT Back to Top

	No one here has pissed me off. I, in turn, sincerely hope I've not pissed anyone else off. Every once in awhile, however, I feel beaten down by a poster's unexpected anger (which I know comes through pain or fear, and nothing else) towards others. It catches me always by surprise. I don't want anyone here to feel as though they've been shut off, however, so I was concerned they might see they've been ignored. I haven't done anything yet.

	Aimzee - And don't think I don't know exactly what I'm doing.;-) Worked once before. Moderators - The women have been quiet lately. What is the possibility of setting up a kind of site-within-a-site, like franktalk (which I've not used, YET)? It might fill a need here.

	NE Irish... Depression after PCa is so common that it should be almost part of treatment. Anytime Depression affects life is the time to treat it. And the sooner the better. Even the meds take weeks to work. also, therapy is a huge help with PCa. it just brings up so many feelings we never even knew we had. A little Wellbutrin or Prozac and he'll be back to himself. He will thank you. And he will be the guy you fell in love with. Depression is not fun to have. Paul www.franktalk.org ED website for PCa guys 46 at Diagnosis.

	Paul is quite correct. Depression goes hand in hand with serious medical maladies, including any form of cancer. This can apply to both the patient and their caregivers, i.e. wives, etc. I have dealt with major depression in the past, and the right med can make all the difference in the world. My wife is a nurse, and when she has had the opportunity to sit with my Uro/Surgeon, she hasn't hesitated to tell him about certain symptons indicating depression. Also, my long term GP asked me recently about that subject, as he was the one that worked with me years ago when it was a big issue in my life. If your husband is agreeable, might be good to bring it up with his doctor(s), while the problem is just in its infancy. Now if/when he's working on any ED issues, the doctors will need to know that, as some good anti-depressents, have a side effect of reducing one's sex drive to nothing, a good example is Lexapro, and its older cousin Celexa. Both work good for the depression part, but will flat knock any sexual interest right out of your head, male or female. Being aware that he might have a problem is half the battle. Good mental health is essential in his recovery. Please keep us posted.

	NEIrish. Depression is definately something that I have had some experience with. I have been treated since 1998, I agree with Paul1959, with regards to meds. The one thing that one must be wary of is as we progress in time with meds, there is the difficulty identifying that you feel better because of the meds, and that quiting sometimes is a mistake and can cause further problems. I started out with Prozac, and became immune to problems at work and at home, had a lack of concentration. It caused a lot of probems for me, once I realized that I did not want to be like that, I requested a change and have been taking Lexapro for several years, without the any problems (except that I am afraid that I can not cope without it). I would suggest to your "quiet man" to try guided imagery, particularly by Belleruth Naparstek. She has several, when first diagnosed with depression it was helpful. She has one that deals with Cancer, maybe this might help your "quiet" gentle man out with some of issues. I sincerely hope that he can get though this without meds and I wish you strength in dealing with what he is dealing with. Steve f Age: 58 Married 28 Years.
