I pop in from time to time and did so a couple of weeks ago. I read some very sad news about many of our brothers here at HW. I was very upset and saddened, because there was so much loss to read...
Hi Mandy! Walkbyfaith here. We met at Zero in DC last year. I'm the blond! So happy to see you here. I LOVED meeting you. What I noticed most was your gentle, sweet, disposition. You and Todd really...
My hubby, an African American male, heard about the PSA from a friend. Hubby was 45 at the time, and asked for the PSA at his routine physical. He is quite opposite of most men, and very on top of...
Hoping you find relief David. I will attest to the whole feeling high from pain meds. One of my best girlfriends has brittle bones disease and had 2 of her vertebra literally collapse on her. She is...
Feel better, Todd! I feel your pain...I tweaked my back about a week ago. I literally bent forward with a straight back without bending my knees and somehow tweaked my back. I've been stubborn and...
Hurry back. Take care. Many blessings to you, my brother....
"Lastly, there is a high number of men here that feel after they have been diagnoses that the only prudent thing to do is screen every man annually starting at age 40. I'd be curious of that poll...
Purgatory, I hear ya!...
Voted!...
Tony, I surely wouldn't force my husbands case on anybody. I let people know that typically PC is slow growing, and although my husband had a very significant cancer, he is not the norm. As many have...
1969 said: "Ultimately, individuals are the Captains of their ship. BUT information is knowledge. Anyone here who would council a friend, "Don't worry about a PSA until you're 50." should be ashamed...
I'm pretty young at 42, and know far too much about prostate cancer. The two most important men in my life, both my husband and father were diagnosed within a year from each other. My husband at age...
Tony, is that you?...
So happy for you! May God bless you!...
Todd you and Amanda are awesome and we surely feel blessed by getting the chance to meet AND know you! I hope to see you soon!...
littlnm, thank you so much. Yes, love DOES conquer all! We were very content having sex using trimix, and would have been for a very, very long time. It was funny, because as soon as I told hubby he...
we didn't need it! We are 13 months out from surgery, and one nerve down, but that didn't stop us, nor hold us down. I am happy to report that hubby was able to become fully erect without medication!...
Great news!...
Ispark, your numbers are close to my hubby's, diagnosed age 45 12/2011. He is doing well. If you or your wife have questions or need support, let us know!...
Susan, My heart goes out to you and your husband. My vote is also to KEEP TRYING! I recently wrote our story, and I mentioned pushing through what may not be working sexually. Sex is part physical,...
I hadn't updated anyone here, about my dad. I had mentioned several months back that he was watching his PSA. My dad is 60, and had a rising PSA for more than 1 year. He started somewhere close to 3,...
Hello, I wrote our story for the Prostate Cancer Research Institute. Hubby is almost 1 year out from surgery. Desire = same, orgasm intensity = same, frequency = same. At first, sex was different...
We don't often hear of the Brachy SE's here, especially as they pertain to ED, but I'm sure there is some non-bias study out there that can give the actual number(s). And, what about men that are...
Hi Bluebird! So nice to hear from you. You received some great information so far. It sounds like you two are doing great. I understand your husband's need for sex at this point. My husband was the...
Interesting. "For example, men with a biopsy Gleason Score of 8 and above previously were not thought to be good candidates for surgery because of the likelihood that the cancer had spread. The new...
It means so much to know that our story can help or inspire in some way! Peace and LOVE to you all! P.S. Thank you for fixing the link to the story....
Keep hope alive! I love it......
Hello friends, Sorry it has taken me so long to post back. Today is 12/23, and the day we learned my husband had prostate cancer. I have a bit of nervous energy today, probably because it is exactly...
Maybe it's the putting it out there within our little community here at Healingwell. Nervous! ;) Thanks for the feedback so far. I've been leaning towards posting, for a few weeks now. If it can...
Hello Guys/Gals, I recently wrote a piece on our prostate cancer journey. I would love to share, but there is a picture of me/hubby, and our names. I have debated sharing it here. I really want to,...
Pulling for you, Bronson and expecting good news soon to come!...
Congrats! You hit the nail on the head regarding sex. We persisted through, even when things weren't quite working as they should. I think if you wait too long, especially out of akwardness, fear, or...
Hello Phila, I'm a wife too. I'm just curious if anyone of the other members can explain why his PSA is so high, yet his gleason appears to be intermediate. Is there a possiblity that infection is...
I will attempt to respond on behalf of my husband. He doesn't post here. I've followed his lead post-op in every regard. He's maintained a very positive attitude, and has not let his RP side effects...
Awesome! How about the video's of the airline's participating? I think the MO is genius...super brilliant. Before we know it, the Moustache in MOvember will be synonomous with PC and men's health....
Way to go, Todd! That's what happens when you put yourself out there. I'll just say, the universe (I call it something else) aligns these amazing opportunities. Hope to see you and the wife soon!...
I remember thinking I was stuck in a bad dream too. DON'T WORRY, YOU WILL WAKE UP! From one wife to another, hang in there. EXACTLY this time last year, we were walking through this. What a...
Ms.worrywart, I just emailed you!...
Ed, Every month for the past year for us!...
Susan, Check this out. Very heartwarming! It sounds like in 2012, prostate cancer is a big part of their movement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0OzM9y5Hwg...
Here is a fun article on MOvember! I love all the mustaches. The article does mention testicular and prostate cancer. Funny, last year I remember a ton of facebook friends taking picutures of...
Todd, I'm so happy I was able to meet you and your wife. Your story gives us all hope, and inspiration! Keep proving them wrong. WalkbyFAITH...
P.S. Dude, I agree. Depression can easily kick in if one is to believe there is no hope for their ED, and if they have a poor understanding of the healing process following surgery....
Great advice...it takes times! I wish more couples understood this. We had zero response with levitra post-op. We understood the point of the medicine at that point in time. We moved to trimix with...
JohnT, thank you! Gyguy, I will post a link when the story is published. Thanks for your help....
Thank you Gyguy. Yes, I completely understand gleason scores. I should have explained. I'm writing our story for a newsletter at the PCRI. I wanted to briefly touch on prostate cancer percentages as...
I need percentages. Overall, what percentage of men are diagnosed with low risk disease, what percentage are intermediate, what percentage are advanced? Thank you!...
Your pain is real. I do however, agree with your wife. I personally feel if you stay stuck on what isn't working, you will be stuck right there for a long time. To me, it sounds like you are making...
Yoop, don't kid yourself! Most people move on faster than you think. I'm almost certain my huge extended family expects us to host Thanksgiving or Christmas this year, and it hasn't even been a year....
I would have fainted. Congrats!! I know you feel great!...
