I think the OP deserves her place in line. As for all the BS that is apparently going on... well, I guess the bottom line is to get as many people vaccinated as soon as possible. The behavior is...
Mumbo, You forgot the part about HW doesn't provide Covid-19 Vaccinations, which I seem to encounter for most health related calls. 81gg, I think your topic is good, as usual, but I agree - just take...
By the way, I did get my Lupron shots in the tush. I also got my first Eligard shot in the tush. For my second Eligard shot the nurse gave me the option of in the arm or stomach. She said giving the...
What is the interest for the question?...
Grey dog. The 0 --4 normal range for PSA listed on your test result is really for those being tested prior to diagnosis or treatment. It doesn't apply to you anymore. Nevertheless, you seem to be...
This is a 7 year old thread......
Yes the ADT will halt the growth. Eventually the cancer will become resistant to the ADT, but it likely will keep your dad around for years....
Good luck š...
Plus they have you hooked to catch any gas you may pass. š Sorry Glen, but sometimes levity helps. š...
Such as it is to be on a cancer forum... sigh. RIP Gmoose2...
John, Don't get hung up on the Casodex thing -- it's really an insignificant issue. As stated before, it reduces a possible Testosterone flair from the main ADT drugs at the start of ADT treatment....
Mike, Please lets us know how your work-ups go today. I know you'll enjoy visiting your daughter....
Personally, I would be very reluctant to jump into ADT at this point. Has your PSA the past four years been a steady increase? You are hovering near an "official" recurrence, but even above...
Seems a good plan and things are going well enough for you. Good luck ahead!...
Todd, Just do it. I don't think you will have any regrets. My situation if different than yours, but I applied for SSDi and was denied. My SSDi attorney believes I will win on appeal. My...
The Buckeyes are good and I think deserved to be there. But you're right, Alabama is an offensive Machine. I couldn't watch the whole game -- it was unmerciful....
Whoops! You're speaking of your Dad. Good on you for advocating for him....
Yes, that's a pretty good jump, but measurements at lower PSA levels don't always reflect the true doubling time. As stated before, when a clearer picture of his PSA trend forms, the decision will be...
Halbert, I stopped watching the game after the 1st quarter. It was just too pitiful. Total dejection for Big Ben....
Alright Gobucks, Your boys are representing the Big 10 (+ 4) tonight....
I think you are essentially correct. A bullet through a rifled barrel shoots true. A bullet through a smooth barrel shoots unpredictably. A baseball pitched with little or no spin is fun to watch --...
So are conspiracy theories....
It was better without content....
When on ADT, one may find himself crying for no apparent reason. š...

Tommy Lasorda has died. Fun memories of him strafing the umpires. He had some great Dodger teams....
Keep it going, Motown!...
Mike Glad you're feeling better. You are largely in control for the path ahead you choose. I hear positive tones in your words. I will be looking for your posts....
Radiation had no noticeable effect for me. But, RP noticably reduced my length and girth. Two years of ADT has finished it off. On top of that, I can't even tell if I have balls anymore. Sigh... it's...
Alephnull, Sorry to hear that. Xtandi should bring it down....
Jack...?...
Not that conspiracy theorists are ever interested in being rational, but suppressing cancer cures makes no sense. Such discoveries would bring incalculable riches, not to mention Nobel prizes and...
I'll tell you, even though Eligard and Lupron have the same active medication, the formulations must be different. I had my second Eligard injection today -- both times it burned in Ć way Lupron...
I think the standard PSA test is good for everything, except for post RP. My MO use the micro PSA tests, but I would fine with the standard test....
Once a year PSA for a G9 seems poorly advised to me, regardless of the success of one's treatment. Personally, I would stay with every 3 or 4 months for a long time, if not forever....
Had my quarterly PSA today. Undetectable. I see the MO tommorow for the routine. He asks me how I'm doing, checks my heart, checks my lungs, and checks my ankles. Then he sends me upstairs for a...
Nope, he's gone for good....
I've always appreciated Fairwind's straight forward, matter of fact, and no BS posts. I hope to see him post again....
I don't, at all. š...
Lol, Trailguy, I've never picked mine up at the pharmacy, but the packaging mine comes in is almost comical. Even the plastic bag containing the bottle basically says, unless you're taking this...
Good luck in the New Year!...
Djin, Sorry to see that, but too early to know, which I know you already know. It very well could be a blip, and I'm hoping it is. I find myself doing what it seems like you're doing in the post --...
"""Yeah, that is wild about giving drug addicts the vaccine over seniors. Where is Ed/F8 to make it make sense for me?""" Well Buddy, I'm not certain, but what comes to mind is that sometimes "drug...

The Sun rising in the east, and a full Moon in the west, during my chilly morning walk. Complete with suburban roosters signaling the start of a new day. It's a strange and sometimes beautiful world...
I too have a negative gut reaction to these types of things. "Membership" - makes ya feel kind of special. š But, for some patients, it may be worth the extra money....
Sometimes guys who have cancer enjoy some fun with other guys who have cancer. It's part of the support on a support forum. Pretty basic stuff. š...
