George and I were one week apart for surgery back in February. We shared almost everything. PSA was close, Pre-stage ws close, Gleason was same. I left him an Email today and am puting up this thread in hopes we can re-great him.

My heart goes out to him and those who have had depression during their fight with PCa. I don't have depression and can only enforce to all that do, it's hard to avoid, but I do feel well and it's because I don't let this disease take my quality time away from me. Vet's positive thoughts thread is so true and leaves a lot to be desired.

I exchanged E-mails with George and he is doing OK on the cancer but the HT and other things seem to have allowed depression to settle in. I told him about you wonderful posters reaching out to him, and suspect we might see him back soon. He and Kathy are back together and hopefully working things out. His T levels are very low, and Biker90, Jim, you might be of help for George with your experiences.
