12 Years ago in 2006 on his 49th birthday, my wonderful hubby "CJ" was diagnosed with Pca. He's still good. PSA stable. Health good. Just checking in on this momentous occasion of his birthday today....
Hi Bill, lovely to hear your good 10 year report. Glad all is well. Us too. Cheers :)...
Hi Biker, This is such rotten news, dear man. I hope you can get the best help and support and are recovering from your surgery. I too remember the wonderful angels Bluebird and Swimom. Both were...
My husband had no symptoms 10 & 1/2 years ago as his was picked up in a routine nearly-50 health check, however he has no regrets now about his pathway back then. He went high PSA, biopsy, surgery...
Congratulations Tony. What a fabulous contribution you have made to compiling current knowledge in the area. Its awe inspiring. Good luck with your continued advocacy and research for all survivors...
Hi Jim, This is great news. My hubby, known here as CJ, is also 10 years since diagnosis and is happy and healthy too. I remember your early posts and all the help and support you gave to others....
And to you ... Great report. Stay well. This time 9 years ago I was very miserable. Now hubby is great - me too - wishing you all a Merry Christmas. :-)...
Hi Biker Jim, so great to hear your news and of your continued good health. Happy birthday and have a great celebration. Cheers, Lana & CJ PS. We just became grandparents ourselves. 'Woohoo' xxooxx...
Fantastic news Todd. So glad to hear. All the very best...
Hi Ferretx, I probably should not butt in but you might be interested to know my husband had same scenario for the first few years. Once it hit .03 we hit panic mode. But it stayed there and Purg...
An, I actually FORGOT to tell you CJs annual test was 0.03 in Feb! A wonderful 'same old, same old' for him. Once again, good wishes. The choice to go to annual tests is a personal one. We did it...
That's excellent news An. Hope you are well :-)...
Hi Lanie and Will-Sandy, Thanks for the advice. We have been eating rice! I will further check that out and find an alternative. With regard to the pump, Will-sandy, no have not thought about it...
Fantastic news Todd....
Wow! 'Bottoms up' to you all (I'm not sure why I am using so many Australian/English clichés) Great to hear from you all. I will reply individually but in my mindset at the moment, Nick's question...
Hi everyone, I recommended this board today to someone, and for the life of me couldn't find any of my previous posts - it's been a busy year and handing my thesis in within 2 weeks, so haven't been...
Hi Swim, Great news overall. My CJ is planning a hip replacement and his name is "Chris" too. I'll take that as a good sign :-) So glad you popped in, and even gladder not to need your wonderful...
Yes, the sedative will wear off and if it is expected to be uncomfortable - take it - request it. No question unless you respond badly to sedatives. Good luck with it all. I don't think medical...
From a female perspective (if you want one) - A very hard journey for partners but not unsurvivable. The main pain is the adjustment that the loved one has to make and come to terms with, and knowing...
Hi Kzizzi, Glad to hear your hubby is still good after 7 years. Mine is too. Mama Bluebird flew away about 6 and a bit years ago approximately maybe a little more. TC drops in from time to time, and...
Ms WW, thanks for starting an interesting conversation. I personally agree with An, and have noticed that both doctors and nurses have a certain amount of health anxiety which often delays their own...
Iron - good news all around. Well done to you! Sorry to hear of your brother's ordeal. So glad to hear he is recovering. Have a fabulous vacation and stay well....
We had same experience as Lovif and Rich. Can't add to it, but you have come to the right place. My husband had open Sx and made a good recovery. At 42 his PSA had been 2.1, then at 48 it was 3.5 but...
Hi, My husband experienced a similar pattern adjusting slightly from 0.01 to 0.03 with an occasional .02 over 7 years and goes back and forth between .02 and .03 probably as a result of rounding up...
Hi An, great news for you and Paul. And now so close to the wonderful 5 year mark too! Well done my friend. I know you have been through a lot and come through - ever keeping up with the knowledge...
Todd, This is excellent news....
Hello Wade, My husband was diagnosed at 49 and we have 2 children so I understand what a massive shock this is for you. Keep in touch with the guys here as you consult on the best course of action As...
Welcome back. It's so good to see you posting again....
Great news Donald!...
Sephie, personally I wish you would come back too. There's a locker free in the girl's room....
Ha ha. And as a maths prof. I didn't think you had a sense of humour! See you in twelve hours....
Rest in peace. Very sad news....
Hi Irenie, My husband's biopsy was 4 +3, then downgraded to 3 + 4 after surgery. He was 49 at the time and that was 7 years ago. This is treatable. I too think you have read the success rate, not the...
The work Terry has done with YANA is amazing. He was the first person I consulted in 2007 and his prompt email advice led me here. Sorry to hear he is so unwell Davidg. Thanks for letting us know....
Pat, sincerely wishing your wife a good recovery. My mother-in-law developed Bca 2 years ago, and although my husband (her son - a Pca survivor) did not think he was that helpful at the time, he...
Fabulous Todd. Really lovely of you to share....
This is great news Bronson. So pleased to hear it. Cheers, Lana & CJ...
Great news Todd! Enjoy your summer...
Chris, that is great news to hear....
Just for some interesting info. My husband is full of internal staples. it looks like quite a few. He recently had a pelvic X-ray and found the unusual circle of staples around where the prostate had...
Very sad news. I echo the thanks of others for your contributions and sharing of your experiences....
Hi Bronson, so glad it is going well. A good word indeed considering what you have been through in the past 12 months. Good luck with your art event this weekend. It sounds both educational and...
Dear Tim, This is such a painful thing to read. Rest up and get well soon! Keep it elevated. Sound as though it will mend up with the surgery but take good care. I guess sport is out for a while now....
Donald, so happy to hear your good news. That's great....
That's fantastic Tony. It is fitting you should make a contribution alongside the experts in the field. So glad you have this opportunity. I like consumer involvement in research from all levels....
Hi, Just thought I would reply. My husband was tested and biopsied at 48, and we got the results on his 49th birthday. Stats below. He had surgery with good outcomes. With your PSA still relatively...
No for me (don't hand it well) Yes for him (CJ) (does handle it well) Says he doesn't worry until there is something to worry about. One of the reasons I married him - an optimistic person by nature,...
Wow! That is really good. Congrats....
Very encouraging results! Great to hear. Stay well....
An, as ever you are sweet to remember, and thank for your good wishes. Had one hickup. In among other tests it was .04 but different method used by lab and they claim NOT to be doing an ultra...
