My surgeon, Dr. James Eastham, Head of Urology, MSKCC, specializes in salvage prostatectomies. (He's mentioned above.) Google "salvage prostatecomy eastham" and you'll find a bunch of papers he wrote...
Dr. Eastham at MSK also performed my surgery and my post-op pathology also indicated G9(4+5). My PSA has remained undetectable for 3 years and Dr. Eastham also advised me against overtreatment. I get...
Today is the 3rd anniversary of my surgery. So far my PSA has remained undetectable. Life is good! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. This site has a large group of wonderful caring and...
Thanks, Billy. It was option 2, i believe. Hit a vein on the way in. Didn't stop, went all the way in. Got some surface bleeding, but the injection worked -- got the desired result. Thanks for the...
A little blood came out and I've got a fairly big bruise. I did apply pressure for several minutes, but still got the bruise. There's no pain involved and my google searching hasn't revealed any...
Went into the city (NYC) yesterday to MSKCC for my regular 6 month PSA test and checkup. Undetectable again, I'm a happy camper. My nomogram scrores keep getting better and better. Knock on wood!...

Dr. Mulhall's book discusses it. Here are a few sites that discuss it. Google "Clomid for men". http://www.livescience.com/47094-clomid-treat-low-testosterone.html...

MSK is quick! I usually go in a couple hours early for the blood work and then have lunch. That way when I meet with my doc he already has the, knock-on-wood, good results. Best of luck to you, walt...

Doug and Andrew -- yes, I plan to be very careful about T and will have full discussion with the doc. Thanks for your concern. Actually, I have very few symptoms connected to low T, my libido and...
So a year after RALP with some nerve damage and little response to Viagra I decided to take my uro's advice and see his ED specialist and start trimix injections. Very glad I did. The procedure is...
