Hi team. Short update - Last PSA was 31 Oct 2018. PSA is down to 0.050 now. The Doc put me on 1-year protocol now. Last week, we found an issue with my wife. Large mass in the area where her ovaries...
Buenos Tequilas Amigos! Just had my semi-annual PSA. Happy to report PSA of 10/17 is down to .06 (05/17 was .073) WOOT!!! Going dooowwwnnnn stil....
Thanks Tennisplayer. If u want to read something real and funny, search for my "Perils of Pokemon Go" post. Be forewarned not to be drinking coffee when you read it, as coffee stains are hard to get...
Thanks Allen. I agree. My T levels returned back in November 2016. Other then some lower bowel inflamation that I try to control with diet, and of course an enlarged prostate, by all accounts I am...
My T levels are back to normal....
Hi Allen. Been off it since September 2016. Only had the 1 four-month dose....
Hi fellow forumites. Just popped in for a brief update. 6 month PSA test came back today. Oct 2016 was 0.10 and Apr 2017 came back 0.073, so still looking for the nadr, and heading in the right...
WOOOOOOOOOOT Time for a beer Jay! Congrats!...
Hi Pax. I think you are responding to a different post....
Hi guys. Thanks for the responses. So, currently I am stuck at home while the docs try to figure out what's going on with me. So...where do I start. Bowel control is not very good right now. For the...
So, I had my 1st post treatment PSA test, and it came back at 0.10. Great right? Had my consult with the doc last Friday, and after a quick flick up the wahhoo, he said...so, see ya in 6 months. I...
Got my stach going! Wanted handlebars to look like a biker but the wife daughter said no, so it just regular. :sad:...
Thanks. Yeah, I actually felt it come back fully about 3 weeks ago . Like a surge in my leg muscles. That and the lil' fella coming back to life. The walnut, though, is dead weight now....
Hi Michael. I'm in Canada....
I'm starting a new novel too. All I have so far is the opening line, "Call me Ishmael"...not sure where tobgo from there. Anyone have any ideas?...
So I went for my blood test a day early and wow....already got my results. T=10.5 and PSA=0.10. That's a good post treatment starting point I think. Now another 3 month wait....
In my experience so far, the diet game is a lose lose. What you cut out for PCa you have to put back in for treatment SE's....
Greetings fellow forumites. I've been lurking but not posting these days. Simply put, I just don't feel I have much to add to the conversations these days...kinda in limbo I guess until I get some...
Todd, this isn't CNN. You CAN post good news here too....
Congrats Beo....
Welcome and sorry you had to join up. In hinesite, I wish I had the Radical Procrastinatectomy. Although I am grateful I had HT/HDRBRT/EBRT....
Up to today, I have no treatment regrets what so ever. I'm happy with the way I handled it. I decided when they started scheduling my treatments that I would treat it as a minor inconvenience rather...
I agree. The studies do have, at the very least, treatment choice value. "It is hard to accept study information for the simple reason of intangibility. I didn't see it...can't measure it...didn't...
HI CK. Welcome and sorry you joined up. Like you, I had a nasty 8, but otherwise lower gleason score. I elected for triple play of HT, HDRBRT, and EBRT. No regrets whatsoever so far. My original URO...
81GyGuy, more or less, without Government intervention, yes, I agree with your para-phrasing....
One of the first things I learned in sales was "Whatever the market will bear". So, the dilema is...Life-Saving Drugs at Life-Saving Prices seems to be an oximoron when reading on paper. So, perhaps...

Hi Alan. Welcome to the club and sorry you had reason to join. I have nothing to add to your thread at this point since TA did an exceptional job of bringing you to the level of understanding you...
Good luck in the house hunt Halbert...
Hi Alan. In terms of a waiting period, I believe 6 weeks minimum is what I recall. You do need time to research options and hunt for a clinician with whom you are comfortable, so don't feel you don't...
My sincerest condolences Susan. For all he saw before he left, just imagine all he sees now!...
Eh????? There is a Happy Prostate Cancer? Didn't know I had that option!...
Hi Alan. Welcome and sorry you had to join the club. Ditto on what Andrew said. No need to regret not doing anything sooner though. Your pathology probably would have been very similar over the past...
That is most excellent news Ed. Congrats!...
Tipping my can of coke in a cheers and "Here's to repeating negative BCR next test too!"...

So David....you need a MRT to do a skin and rib change quote? /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif Yes....it is a very wierd feeling post treatment, not yet knowing the results. Not even counting...
Hi yaamba. You may just have to take his word for it. Most days now, I don't much care about big hoopla's with extra people around. I'm very happy to just hang with my wife and kids. If they want to...
My 4-month shot cost $1,700.00. I bought and picked it up at the hospital pharmacy, and a nurse administered the dose into my butt cheek. My plan paid all except the $11.00 dispensing fee....

So, there I was...checking out a strange piece of, errr...advice when the wife says, Is she a nurse? bUsTed! mr T and lil L are returning. Mwhahahahaha...
So, I went to the dentist for my cleaning and check up today. To my shock and horror, I have some bone loss. I am a religious oral health kinda guy, especially since my Dx because at least it's...
Hi Debbie. The best feature this forum has is the open discussion and information sharing specific to each person's diagnosis, pathology, treatment choices, and side effects. Using personal emails to...

Paxton, you're a quick study! Well said....
Ditto on the "Should be able to click multiple answers" The reason to come and the reason to stay are different for me. Came desperate for info, and stay to support my brothers in any way I can....

Hi Debbie. Tell us about your darling husband's PCa and what his treatment plan was....
Since my "Perils of PokeMon Go" thread, I came up with a new one. I've had so many lumps in the front of my pants, I can't seem to remember even one...but I can remember every lump in the back of my...
Hi Deebo. Welcome to the forum, and sorry for your reasons to come looking. Yeah, the tend to shrink some. The good point though is that you sit on them less when they are smaller....
