Great news! I needed to hear this today! DH (G9) is 6 1/2 years from diagnosis with two spinal mets found about a year ago. PSA just went from 1.5 to 2.5 in three months. Your report is encouraging,...
Glad that is finally working for you. DH has had his for 5+ years. It is life changing surgery!...
Sunshine, Chin up! there's more to be optimistic about than you see now. It's been more than 6 years that we've been dealing with PC--on and off Lupron for more than 5 of those years. Lymph mets and...
Exercise is helpful. Dr. put DH on low dose of anti-depressant about two years ago. Huge improvement. He ran out about a month ago and we saw how much it helped!...

You will find out that a lot of guys have faced lymph node involvement. We knew 5+ years ago that DH's node pathology came back positive. He's had radiation and hormone treatment, but he's still...
Such a tough loss. Sending you our sympathy and wishing you comfort. Beth...
For you recently diagnosed G9 guys, this is meant to spread some hope. Today is the five year anniversary of Denny’s prostatectomy. There have been a few times we didn’t think we’d have this much...
Bohemond, I just sent you an email about this study. I didn't want to hijack the thread. Beth...
Radiation didn't affect the surgery. The surgery and recovery were uneventful (and pretty easy). AUS surgery was done about 4 months after completing radiation. It was a happy day when the AUS was...
