Are you also going a bit farther to Leland, MI? It's such a pretty town with an old fishing village area and lots of art galleries. Congratulations on your fortieth....
Thank you, Sue, but I was young and unaware of what dying involved, and had two little kids to keep my mind in the present. There is never a good time to go through this. My uncle just recently...
I don't think you are being too harsh. This same urologist did a round of MRI's and CT scans and special upgraded more contrasty scans only a year ago, so should have had something to compare the...
Hope you week is going well and your husband's pain is under control. Maybe when this thread and the caretaker's one reach the 10 page limit, they could be combined so it's easier to keep the...
I'm glad to see you are doing so well, although sad you also have to be concerned with your father. I'm glad Tall Allen noticed your post because he seems to be aware of the most recent and best...
Dear Sue, we are all saddened for you. This is the most stressful time of your life that you will ever face. Ever raw emotion comes into play, hope and despair, hate and love, anger and acceptance,...
Barbara Erhenreich's book is called," Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking Is Undermining America," a favourite book of mine. She in no way says that cancer is a gift. In fact, she debunks the entire...
I don't think Zufus has been on for quite awhile. The last he posted was about his paralysis from spinal mets. Has anyone heard from him?...

At some point when the same type of news making articles are touted to defend known positions, you would like to channel Dr. Phil and ask, "How's that working for yuh?" As someone who spent many...
My husband had a similar PSA and age at diagnosis. Although there are so many variables, I think it's best to prepare for the worst rather than hope for the best. We fooled around with a local...
I hope you find out soon what is causing the pain. It must be so frustrating trying to figure out if the drugs are helping or making it worse. I noticed from your signature that you have been on...
To use a seasonally appropriate quote: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. You have been faithful....." I'm so sorry your partner had to take such a painful journey to his end. It's so sad...
My husband is now in his third year of being involved in a similar study for high risk patients, using open RP instead of robotic but offering the same chemo and hormone therapy before surgery or...
Yes, I think it was exactly a year ago that he said, "Got the all clear on the kidney scans. Yes, there are lots of common renal cysts in both kidneys, but said nothing that needs any kind of follow...
