Long time since posting out here. Almost 13 years since prostate removal. Very little if any incontinence. Stopped injections within a year from original surgery. Used Cialis and Viagra for a while....
I haven't posted for a while, but I am still reading daily. Just had my 2 1/2 year post PSA. < .1....undetectable. I am always a bundle of nerves beforehand, and ecstatic when the results come back...
I have had that problem in the past. Uro says that it is very common in men. Normally nothing is ever done unless it gets so large that it becomes uncomfortable. Mine has actually reduced in sixe...
Fantastic!!!...
Jeff, I,m with you. Just over 2 years, and the orgasms stink. Am I happy that my PSA's are undetectable? Absolutely! Am I happy that I can get a pretty good erection on my own, and a very good one on...
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have the results of my 2 year PSA. UNDETECTABLE !!!!! Ya Baby. I wish all you guys news like this for the rest of your lives....
Wonderful!! My 2 year is coming up next month....
The recommendation for me was to not wait. The idea was that I was young (52), and that there was lots of time left for growth. I was diagnosed with a Gleason 6 3+3. My PSA had gone from a 1.0 to 3.5...
"Manly" is their generic Viagra. It seems to work just as well for me as the expensive stuff we buy in the US....
Congrats Raye! I hope to be the same place as you at 2 1/2 years. 2 years coming up in July....
I saw this article this morning, and thought it might be beneficial for those who are contemplating surgery. http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/18919021/detail.html...
FYI...
Lifeline, I am so, so, so sorry for your loss. Even though I don't know you personally, I have read many posts that you have been a part of. This is a horrible thing that damages families. It's just...
It's always wonderful to hear of the zero's. It's what we all live for! Congratulations....
Another reason for celebration!. Keep those 00000's coming....
A big congratulations! Keep em coming....
Wonderful news! Hope they continue for the rest of your life!...
There is a wonderful book that I would suggest to anyone that is going through this or any other cancer. I believe it is under $20.00 at Amazon. Anticancer: A New Way of Life by David Servan-Schreiber...
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep those 0's coming.http://www.healingwell.com/community/posticons/icon5.gif...
Thanks for all the replies. All I can say in the end, is that things are definitely different in the bladder filling area....
I had originally sent an e-mail offline to Bluenose to ask this question since he and I had the same surgical team, but didn't get a response from him. It may have ended up in either his junk mail...
Keep up the big 0's!...
Fantastic! Keep em coming....
Tim, If you stay out here long enough you will find that everyone's situation is different. I am just a bit more than 18 months out and still struggle. The orgasms absolutely stink for me. The best...
Mike, I would also love to have one. Send me an e-mail and advise. Thanks...
I was looking in Digg this morning and found this story. A new study appearing in The Prostate has found that certain measles virus vaccine strain derivatives, including a strain known as MV-CEA, may...
congratulations on the zero! Hope there are many more to come. Just as a side thought, I would do the injections in a heartbeat. I have been using bimix since I could. The initial prick is the worst...
I also had an inguinal hernia a couple of years before my robotic laproscopic prostatectomy. I had no problems, and the surgeon had no concerns beforehand....
Wonderful news. We all need to hear it from each other..........
I believe that Cialis normally comes in 10mg or 20mg dosages. Since the daily dosage is 2.5mg - 5mg, why can't you just split the larger dosages into the daily dosages? Also, what would be the...
Great news.....nice to see the downward trend!...
This whole thread made me smile.... Thanks I needed that. Also, David, thanks for the link to the nanogram. That also reduced some of the anxiety I am feeling....
I wanted to let everyone know that my 18 month PSA came back at < http://www.healingwell.com/community/posticons/icon9.gif.1 - undetectable. I had been anxious about this one. It has been 6 months...
Read the book called, " Anti Cancer: A New Way of life". It is currently on the best seller list. Written by an MD and PHD. It is not a wives tale and there is much evidence to back it up. This book...
I ordered my last batch on 11/13, and received it 11/28. It also came USPS and required a signature....
Just after my prostate cancer diagnosis I started going to my wife's osteopath. We ran some tests and found that my vitamin d3 levels were very low. I initially started taking 10000 units daily....
Dave, I'm with you on this one. The quality of orgasms has been completely diminished. In fact, for me it is even harder to have an orgasm. I have to work very hard. I will patiently await any...
Pontiac, I'm 15 months out now, and still < .1. Honestly I don't want to know what it is as long as it's below .1. I can say that this can be a very depressing disease. Before we all had it, life was...
Hey Bluenose...........congratulations! Hope it's a long list of zeros!...
May you always have zerooooooooo's!...
I am in Indianapolis. If you want to come here, drop me an e-mail. See the e-mail link on the left side by my name....
I use to get up maybe 1 time per night before surgery. I am 13 months out now. I get up 1 - 2 times in a 6 - 7 hour period. I can say that I think the sling that was installed during my surgery may...
David, Everything I have seen, and been told is that anything below .1 is undetectable. Some surgeons, mine included, saw anything below .2. But, if it's over .1 I will be concerned for myself. What...
Good to hear all is going well. Keep us informed. I don't know if you have started doing kegals again, but once you can it would probably be a good thing. I think I did them for about 6 months...
Great news. Keep us informed. By the way, they will give you a hard copy if you ask. Also, ask for some "pictures". I have some they gave me....
bgerber, I had that problem after surgery as well. I believe it will eventually go away. Mine did. However, if you are concerned, or if it doesn't seem to get better, talk to your surgeon. Let us...
Just a comment. I assume you were in Clarian North. All private rooms and a computer that you can pull down over the top of you as you lay there. Glad you are feeling well....
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Let us know how you are on the other side....
Denny, I noticed that you are in Indy from your message above. I also live in Indy. I would be interested in knowing who is doing your surgery. I know you're nervous, but soon it will be over. Good...
1 year PSA - undetectable :yeah:...
