John, if three urologists all recommend TURP, then maybe we are missing something about your situation, or maybe there is something that even you are not aware of so cannot convey to us. Good luck in...
Of that you can be sure...
island Time makes a good point. You should get a second opinion. If you get a downgrade, which does happen (happened to me) it might make a difference. And as Halbert said, you cannot get better than...
John, i agree with the others. Makes zero sense to do Turp if you are deciding on treatment for Prostate Cancer. If anything, i would think (and this is a laymans guess) it could spread the cancer....
Feedsack, welcome to Healingwell. First, and , there is no right or wrong answer, only the answer that is right for you. With that said, is there evidence on the MRI of the cancer having escaped the...
Definitely F2 would be Jack Lemmon. Because he is annoying...
Sorry 81, i know intentions were good, but this one won't fly, as i think you suspected. Gotta lock it...
Correctamundo. Tightrope indeed, which is why i steered conversation towards guitar. i hate locking threads. [/quote] 81GyGuy, my apologies, i did not mean to delete the poem from your thread, so...
Enjoy your lessons. Don't forget to have fun. If I had my way I'd play like Django Reinhardt, but I know I never will. Sometimes after days of struggling with something new I just go back to picking...
Funny you said that Behomond. I’ve got my weekly guitar lesson this afternoon and the plan for this week is to start learning fingerpicking...
Robert, thanks for the links, don’t know how I missed your post in December. I last checked T level in November 2020, and it was close to normal, just under my already low baseline, at 268. Next...
Bill, no cause for concern IMO. I had no side effects after the first shot, other than soreness at injection same for all of my friends with one exception - a guy who had COVID about 10 months ago,...
Seems like F1 is being a little too sensitive while F2 is being a little too aggressive (and nosy). So I guess it depends on the depth of the friendship. I’m biased. I shared my diagnosis with anyone...
IMHO, greeting newcomers is best tailored to the individuals first post. Some are just introducing themselves, some have been lurking for a while and are just saying hello and thanking the forum for...
Gibson, depends. Can you give us his PSA history or how much of a rise he experienced? A tiny rise could just be normal fluctuations, especially considering that he still has a prostate. And many...
Bassman, welcome to the forum. Like Mumbo, i had surgery before radiation, not salvage. And similar experience, i had to pee quite often for a few weeks after getting the catheter out, and it was a...

Always sad to get this kind of news. RIP Goose....
Good luck Todd, you know we are all hoping the best for you...
RandyJoe, i agree, get it while you can. It helps you, helps your family and its the right thing to do for everyone, including society...
Carmax, yes its perfectly normal. I assume you had Lupron, which drops Testosterone to below castrate levels in an average of 28 days. Castrate level is, i believe, under 20. So yes its both pssible...
Based on the trials, Moderna second dose is to be given 28 days after first dose. Pfizer, 21 days. I have an appointment locked in for the second dose, they gave it to me at the vaccination site when...
Paul, i think as long as you are in the normal range, and as F8 said, you feel good, i dont see any downside. T fluctuates a lot. What was your baseline before starting ADT? I was at 330 prior to 6...
Which is why pretty much every financial fraud is based on the pitch that you can get a high, yet risk-free return. Good luck Todd--it sounds like you have the right people in your corner to help...
Yes, i read that. Which was really good news....
Same for me, I'm mildly concerned. We shall see. Jim, at the hospital where i got the first dose, i walked out with an appointment for the second dose. Hopefully it will stick. My son, who is in NY,...
I'm pretty sure i heard today, that the Trump administration is asking states to NOT hold back vaccines for the second dose. My opinion, bad idea, the science says second dose to be given in...
Glad to hear that Gary. And yes, the rollout was not at all what it should have been. States should have had the infrastructure build out and the planning done way before approval which they knew...
Paul, from what i read, i believe on the Moderna website (i will try to find it and post later if i do), ..... overall effectiveness for Moderna was 94.1% Efficacy for under age 65 was 96% Efficacy...
Jack, i have read that after a few weeks the first shot (dont recall if it was Pfizer or Moderna) can give up to 75-80% efficacy. However i read on (i think) the Moderna website, that the first shot...
Todd, i am a retired Financial Planner/investment manager and former CFP. However, when it comes to things like Disability, and how it might integrate with Social Security, as well as Health...
wherever you can get it. In Florida, they are vaccinating any 65+ senior who makes an appointment, no matter where they live. Check the states requirements but i dont think most states are requiring...
Farz, here is a thread on Fairwind that is currently active..... www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=4231460#gsc.tab=0 ...
Gary you may know this, but just in case.... WWW.BrowardCovidVaccine.com I was able to get two appointments (got one, then got an earlier one) there on the first day the website opened up. I...
The way i see it, we all have two choices. 1. Take on the POTENTIAL BUT UNKNOWN risk involved in getting vaccinated. OR 2. Take on the risk of getting Covid-19. Pick your poison. For me it was an...
This is something that, to my understanding is not yet clear, and they are gathering data to determine whether you can be an asymptomatic carrier after being vaccinated. Also from what i've read,...
Glen, I have not been commenting much on your case, because there are many here who are participating in this thread, like JNF, Djin, etc, who are way more knowledgeable, and experienced in advanced...
Had my first dose of the Moderna vaccine this morning. Very quick, professional and easy. It was given at the local hospital in Wellington, Wellington Regional. I got there at 10:45 for an 11am...
A great personality as well as a great manager. RIP Tommy...
Longway, I am in Lake Worth, right off 441 on Hypoluxo. In addition to Cleveland Clinic, Sylvester Cancer Center also has offices in this area, Deerfield Beach is the one I am familiar with, there...
Longway, welcome, sorry about your diagnosis and very high PSA. First, know, that with good, experienced oncologists, who are experienced in treating Advanced Prostate Cancer, you could do very well...
I'm more afraid of the virus than Prostate Cancer, at this point....
I have an appointment at the local hospital on Saturday morning. Some of my friends were there yesterday and the day before and said that everything was very organized and went smoothly. Mild side...
James, as others have said, too early to think about surgery, or any other treatment. With that said, to answer your question, erectile Dysfunction tends to be more common than incontinence, long...
In before Buddy. LOL I didnt click the link, but i just dont buy into conspiracy theories about suppression of cancer cures. Too far out there....
Jimmy, welcome to the forum I'm not sure what that means. I would assume he will target those lesions for extra cores when he does the biopsy (beyond the usual 12-14 cores). Others more knowledgeable...
Glen,surgery after radiation is a whole different ballgame. Its generally much more complicated and takes someone who is highly skilled, in part due to the scar tissue and other effects from the...
Mattam, that is great news, congrats, great way to start off the new year...
Seems like as long as PSA remains undetectable you can run the PSA on your own or through your PCP as part of your regular checkups. The only reason I continue to see my RO 2years after SRT is to...
