I have no real thoughts on Vitamin D other then what I've read here over a couple of years and misc. info that I never really paid much attention to. I did finally get my D checked last year around...
ps....if you want to be included on the G9 thread just start your own topic thread asking that question and someone will surely get you on it if you are not already. Then bookmark that thread so...
Hi Anniesea, What did you type in with the google search above to the right? I typed in your forum name alone (Anniesea) and a bunch of your previous posts came up. When you find them you should just...
Good luck gamnc, I'll be curious to read the responses as the shot and getting approval for the shot may be in my future. Does insurance cover the shot? Is it difficult to find a Dr(Urologist?) that...
Dm, I also had PNI and after looking it up on the internet I found conflicting information but was very concerned with the information found that was similar to Alephnulls. However, when I spoke to...
Hey Jim, sorry you have to join us, but welcome. My first biopsy was a piece of cake because they put me out and when I woke up I was wondering when they were going to start and they were already...
Congratulations on getting through the surgery and for sure with the woodie(I still haven't had one). I just stuck with the pain meds every so many hours because I wanted to stay ahead of the pain....
While I don't fall into the category of HT vacation either and was only on zoladex and xtandi for 6 months I found Redwings comment about the breast tenderness and possible growth interesting. While...
Hi Cli, hopefully you've asked your Dr about it already, if not you should just to get his thoughts. I had some pain that could be described as a burning sensation on the left side of my groin area...
Gemlin, consider yourself one of the lucky ones if you've had no measurable difference. Most of us don't need to measure to know that we lost some size. As others have said, if I sit on the toilet I...
Hi Jim, Just want to wish you some luck with your second and third opinions and probably your upcoming surgery since it looks like you are heading in that direction. I just read through your whole...
It seems sometimes a high PSA cannot be fully explained. My Girlfriends Dad has had a PSA of 25+ for years and he's had multiple biopsies, had them sent once for what I think is called the Halo test...
An, I think that was so well said....Jim...
Jaymot, congratulations on the PSA. I'm not sure what it means for your future either but I do know how poor the prognosis is if you did not get to undetectable after surgery. My surgery roommate...
81, I can see a future where there is a Pc coin and more awareness in general. It seems that is the direction it is headed. I really don't know a lot about Pc history but it seems to me a lot has...
Just a ps...if he is delaying radiation a bit and they are starting Hormone Therapy right away that is usually ok from my understanding. But the HT is technically when treatment is starting and while...
I have to agree with the others Lube. Unless there is some reason that he MUST wait, now that you've decided on treatment it should be done in a timely manner. Sometimes when we read how slow growing...
Awesome.......
Paxton, for sure that's when we are almost fully recovered....we get the "happy ending". My girlfriend and I both look forward to that day ;)...
Good luck Zarth, it's great to finally have settled on a plan. I know for me it was very calming just to reach that point and turn things over to the professionals. Then it was just a matter of...
Fairwind, is that accurate about xtandi 4x a day? I was on xtandi and took 4 tablets once a day at night. Just curious if it is prescribed differently at times compared to the way it was prescribed...
Hi Concerned, Sorry about the diagnosis, I can clearly remember the stress my girlfriend (of 17 years) and I were under when we got mine. It's like everything started to speed up and it was hard to...
Alephnull, why would you say it is debatable? If Jack says his life was never at risk it must be so. I'm sure he conferred with Ben and his Doctor to come to his conclusion. Ben Stiller is quite...
Info can be found in an article on yahoo and they have a link to an essay he wrote on his experience...I don't know how to put in links here so maybe someone else will. Both were interesting.....
Lube, also just to be clear (which I wasn't) the example of the almost 80 year old who wanted surgery like his son and ended up having radiation was to highlight that at almost 80 he wanted treatment...
Lube, it's great he has you to at least raise the question and consider all and not just rush into treatment. Of course as others have said ultimately only he can decide. Just the stress of knowing...
Hey Chris, sounds like you are doing well after only one month. Drinking beer already and being diaper free at this point sounds great, and getting some response from viagra shows you are on a good...
Michael, maybe the HT affects us all differently or some of the drugs act differently because I lost my ability to have an erection by the third week of HT and of course once the libido was...
ps....and of course Kegel, Kegel, Kegel. Very important. After coffee and during exercise I would kegel even more just to battle any anticipated leakage....
Hey Tennis, I hope everything is still progressing for you. I think your expectations may be a little too high this soon after surgery. What you have described seems to be very good progress. I would...
Hi Don, hopefully you and the docs get it figured out. It's just one more of the many pains that this PC journey gives some of us. Really gets tiresome. I had 31 lymph nodes removed along with my...
HBFF, congratulations with getting through the surgery. I started a thread for myself titled 'This surgery is a beast' after my surgery just to document some of what I went through and I went back...
Hey Vaportrail I can't really offer any advice that's worth anything. It's obvious you have been on a rough ride so I hope you can get some good advice from some Drs that you are comfortable with and...
Clocknut, I just now read this thread and agree with most of your comments and think they were very well stated. You put into words what many of my thoughts are. While I am a little tired of getting...
Didn't mean to bring up this old thread, I just happened to log in on an old page by mistake and did not realize until after I posted a response.....long day I guess...I still found it interesting...
My diagnosis included PNI which put us in a panic along with everything else. Our internet search seemed to indicate a higher probability of escape which created more anxiety. But my local Urologist,...
Wow Neil. I'm definitely jealous. Good for you and the wife. I started on the pump about 3 weeks ago. My thought, which is based on my limited experience; is it is more for guys like me who have had...
To continue on Dreams line: Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Of course...
Bolo, "bottom line if ya'all don't like my posts...put me on ignore...or just rubberneck em as you roll to your destination.. " I enjoy many of your posts and I would never put you on ignore. At...
Lapilot that seems so appropriate especially with radiation in the mix. Relnie, I already tried the line on my girlfriend after I got my feel, it brought a smile to both our faces. Unfortunately the...
by the way, my ex was a few years my senior and I would have used that line on her just to get a feel also. Gotta love the ladies......
Reltnie, something seems sooo wrong with that saying....but it is hilarious. I don't know what that says about me that I find it so funny. My lady is 11 years my junior so I for sure will use that...
ps...to sheeps point, maybe you should worry that Hillary might win. ;)...
Hang in there Mitch. Don't stress too much about stressing too much. I think it's a process we need to go through mentally, some more then others. I think it's unfair to believe that you should have...
My girlfriend just reminded me, when she would threaten me (yeah, she's a tough talking redhead) I would say: 'If I was wearing boots I'd be shaking in them'...
That's great Mel.......
I also like In the Shop's 'Not all who wander are lost. Some are just looking for their glasses' Brings a smile to my face as my Mom is just this year in a nursing home and we/she are ALWAYS looking...
I did not think I would be nervous but this Aug 8th one and Sept 15th has me on edge a bit. The HT has worn off and the testosterone has been coming back so the PSA tests for the next year or so will...
ps...Newton, that line is a crack up...Everywhere I go I'm there too, lol......
I'm sure I will think of others but these first come to mind: The Nike Phrase 'Just do it' has always been good for me especially since I am self-employed. Plenty of times I'm just exhausted from...
