That's really outstanding news "G". It is really great for members who have had surgery and see their PSA again rising some time later, to read of a fellow member's success with additional treatment...
Ah Jet. This is an authentic Australian map of the world. You lot in the "northern hemisphere" have been fooled when it comes to which way, in terms of the universe is "up"...
Well I have hit the 10 year mark and did that 10 years slip by quickly or what? In August 2007 I had robotic surgery on a relatively low PSA (4.0) Gleason 4+4=8 in Sydney, Australia. With more than...
Here's to the surgery nailing all the little blighters Jim. Keep up your positive attitude for it has served you well in the past. I see a few of the Healingwell "ol' timers" have chimed in as well....

Weightloss you are tying yourself in knots and to no avail. As a 9 year post surgery fella with still undetectable PSA (<.01) I will say what you are doing has no advantage. Six weeks is somewhat...
Ah, bloody hell. I was just doing a flyby Mel and came across this bad news. All I can say is I hope the effects of your accident are temporary and you eventually recover fully. I will be following...
[blue] Polaris A biopsy is a hollow core sampling of your prostate. Ideally the cores taken should be as long as possible. The more cores that are taken results in a better sampling of the whole...
Yeah, it was pretty competitive to see who could log back on first once the boot went down. If I remember rightly David was the usual winner (but I think he had some sort of secret advantage.)...
David, I am well pleased to see you here. I occasionally lurk and and have seen you post from time to time. I cannot tell you how saddened I was to see your situation had deteriorated. I did not...
