This is mine and my 2 sons favorite fruit. We wait every year till the end of October till the first ones show up at the store and then start each eating about one a day till we can't find them...
I too am surprised there wasn't a course of anti-biotic. When Michael had his first PSA it was 18, they gave him antibiotics and it dropped, not much but a few points. Due to Michael being diagnosed...

I have been out of the loop for quite a while and am certain there is an entirely new group of men and women who I have not yet had contact with nor know who I am. It is ironic that I sign in today...
Latest PSA is still undetectable He had his testosterone run at the same time. Still low, the have suggested higher dose, he finally told them he hadn't taken a shot in a month when they took the...
Being in a law enforcement job, although as I think about it, not sure why that is relevant....but......anytime you need to take a drug test, for any reason, you should have either a letter from your...
I stopped reading the comments halfway through so I apologize if this is a repeat. My husband was diagnosed at 39, G6 and t1a as well. His immediate response was get it out and there was no way to...
I have been excessively tired today, sitting with my kids and next thing i know an hour has gone by and i was sleeping. this has happened 3 times today and it is only 3:30pm. I have a slight headache...
What should I expect? Some withdrawal from Conzip? while it leaves my system and the Butrans works its way in?...
Anyone use Butrans patch for pain?...
Although most of you know I am very vocal about PCa, but having a conversation with a coworker about sexual function is not comfortable. I did tell him that ED is much more of an issue after surgery...
Why is my signature not showing up. It shows when I go into my profile......weird.....ideas? Help!...
No I did not hear this from the Dr, but it is a Dr at one of the larger well know. Hospitals in the US. I actually heard 2nd hand and I do know that when you are going through it you hear only really...
heres the situation: co-worker is 4+3 Gleason, not sure PSA at last blood draw but one I do know about was around 8. Just talked to DR and he is stating that he can spare nerve bundles and he will...
We had to have our Uro call the insurance company and specifically tell them it was needed due to PCa and prostatectomy, needed for therapy not just sex and they pay for 30 pills per Month now that...
UGH!!! That sucks!!! I hate that you are going through this I am so sorry. You are on my prayer list always and hope that only the best possible outcomes take place You are in my thoughts and prayers...
Interesting to picture everyone in their spaces. Michael just retired from the Army (2 years ago) we are in Fayetteville,NC, better known as Fort Bragg. I allowed Michael to purchase this home All on...
Needing to stress to you that your semen will be blood coming out. This isn't just a slight streak of red, michaels was pure dark red. We were shocked and our Uro had prepared us. It is shocking....
Oh NO! I apologize. I should not have used the title I picked, I would have panicked and thought much worse if one of you had posted that. I will be more sensitive with picking title from now on. As...
I appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers.....I believe it has to get better from here, and ultimately it couldve been MUCH worse. Will update when I have more info. He goes back to our PCM on...

Hi all Thought I would check in. Appears there has been a steady stream of new people in the past few weeks. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you. My last posting was...
Thanks for the keeping the blood flowing in his arm, I think that is a fantastic idea. What I need to do at this point is stop myself from being too overly protective. We went to a boy scout event...
We got him home from the hospital on Wednesday evening. He was able to walk out to the car on his own, his leg felt really good, his arm still limited. He got home and went right to bed. When he woke...
It showed three different places in the brain where the vein has narrowed. They are sending him with a crapload of meds that they tell us should prevent another stroke. It doesn't seem quite right to...
Michael is being discharged tonight. Woo hoo. Thank you all for all the thoughts and prayers. Susan...
I have the boys with me today and they needed to eat, sitting in the cafeteria reading reponses. Clocknut, I don't know what that is that you mentioned but if it is a simple fix. I would be happy...
Had the group of neurologists in this morning. They have found a problem with his artery in his neck. They are about to do an angiogram to find out the extent of damage...
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Susan...
We certainly appreciate the prayers and for those who do not pray, good thoughts are welcome too. :-). Michael has had a stroke and no one on Fort Bragg can figure out why or how to prevent it from...
Thank you all for the great thoughts and all your prayers. I am in his room and he has finally been able to fall asleep. They have had 2 neurologist consult and it is definately many mini strokes....
Michael was admitted to the hospital on ft Bragg yesterday. It appears he has had several mini strokes but they are still testing. He has limited use of the leftside of his body. He is 42 years old...
I finally have decided to say something about all of this. I believe in live and let live and help others when you possibly can. When a thread starts to get a bit off track, just dont participate in...
Ok so here is a bit about me I never thought I would share on a PCa site I joined due to michaels dx. I am 43 and adopted. I had my first run in with pre cancerous cervical cells while in college. i...
A different version of pin the tail on the donkey? We can take photos of our husbands asses and post them on the wall and see who can hit the right ass with the needle!!!!! Woo hoo sounds like a...
That is very funny! My husband has a great ass but I am not looking forward to shoving that big ole needle in it. :-)~...
The one we bought allows us to change out the size like the one in your link, I will have to look more to see if it would hold this large of a needle Thanks for the link Susan...
Michael just got his RX for his testosterone shot. They gave him BD 3ml syringe 18Gx 1 1/2 (1.2mmx40mm) He is to inject 2 ml a month. He has an auto-injector for his trimix, but this needle is MUCH...
David- I am so sorry to hear about your moms health, and I know it wont help you with your feelings of guilt and desire to take care of your mom, but I send you and your family my prayers. I wish I...
wishing you dry underwear - wood when you want it - and cancer free days... Bronson- Is this an old toast I have never come across???? i think it is perfect! Hugs, Susan Sorry, didnt mean to not stay...
That is so funny! The truth of what goes on at these weekends is finally out. You all work on your poor me faces to manipulate your wife. I knew it had to be something like that. :-). Too funny!...
My first thought was infection. Why not take an antibiotic and retest in 6 weeks?...
Whew! Take a breath. That's bad news and will change your life but it isn't anything that needs to happen right now. With those numbers and with your age you have time to get slides read again, talk...
Another mountain to climb! One step at a time and you will deal with it as it comes. You are strong and smart and have a history of dealing with difficult situations. I have faith you will manage...
I am so glad you had a great trip minus the cell phone tragedy (gotta hate it when you get to upgrade!). I am relieved to hear that your brother has come to a decision and can get underway. Seems...
He is currently working nights. He was showering at 7 PM, applying the gel and then going to work. His issue is that when he goes to shower the gel is sticky and yuck, and he is afraid that even 24...
No question other than the one you answered. Michael does not apply the gel as directed or expected to see any positive impact, so he thought if he got a shot it would take the control away from him...
What personal experiences have you had with testosterone shot? What should we expect? Michael had his 6 month, undetectable again! Woo hoo. He goes back in may to get t level and talk shots...
