Well, technically, two different labs. (The one his primary doc uses, and the one in house at TUCC). But his primary has demanded a free retest on his annual full blood panel. They agreed that they...

Lifeguyd! I remember you from back in 2006/2007. So sorry to hear you had a recurrence....

Oh my goodness. So sorry for you as a new and hubby as newly diagnosed. Apparently there is something he is concerned about. I hope it turns out to be nothing, but obviously would follow what doc...

So my guy just got out of Doctor's appt. The dr. agrees that need to do another blood test because the PSA seems way out of normal and very atypical of recurrent cancer when you don't have a...

My SO (Ken) just had his annual physical last week and ten years after a radical prostate surgery his PSA has gone from undetectable for last 9 years to 3.6. Has an appointment this afternoon with...

thanks I saw it and read through. That is great! always good to hear of new treatments. I am going to have Ken bump the thread to the guy who called us, just to make sure he is aware of it as another...

Updated and added ours :) Thanks for reminding me to update!...

everyone has given you great advice. And it is really early for you so i just wanna say I am giving you a big cyber (((((((((((hug))))))))))). As you get over the shock, you will get into "problem...

I was just reminded by someone who had apparently done a search on our surgeon, and saw one of our posts here and sent an e-mail to Ken. Ken called him back and gave him our experiences. We are one...

That is so sweet ((((((jim and marylu too))))))) The girls on this board are Great! But the guys have been very helpful too. I remember lots of chats with both the boys and girls on here that not...

We started Cialis shortly after catheter was out. But didn't really lead to an erection. May have helped in healing the nerves. I am not sure there is much danger in starting soon after catheter out?...

It is 7-8 months out for us, and although continence returned at about 6-8 weeks, the ED has been slower. We have done cialis and viagra at beginning, and then the pump, and then the shots. The shots...

Sorry you are going through discomfort since your surgery. Every one has offered good advice. Hope everything markedly improves soon!...

what GREAT and relieving news!!!! Always fantastic news :) Yeah :)...

Best wishes with your next follow up! It is great to bump your thread! There aren't too many experiences with brachytherapy on here. I for one, am always interested to read it and hear your news :)...

Well, the pink wristband is much more understood (for breast cancer) ... and the yellow "live strong" one for cancer or any kind of illness. Sorry that you were treated that way. But men do tend to...

updated with sad news :(...

You might try asking your doctor. I know we get a newsletter that lists a local meeting about once a month through where Ken got treatment. One or another doctor is a featured speaker. I am not...

I know that feeling well. We went back and forth from everything to watchful waiting to surgery to radiation. I think after finding out about the cancer, that was the second hardest part. And for me,...

I am playing catch-up with people's journals and have also been lax about posting! Anyway, it is fantastic to hear your PSA results!! A big whoo-hoo!!!...

just wanted to say "hi" ... don't have much to add to other posts. and yes your signature is working :)...

bump for four month update...

nope, totally not the only one. Although Ken is thankfully through with pads at the moment, we have had that laundry issue before!! sure i checked pockets, but threw the underwear in without looking!...

Best wishes mal! We will be thinking of you tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing from you when able :)...

I am not sure, but in our case, the lymph nodes were left behind. I think they said they would do a lymph node biopsy if necessary when going in, but then they said it was totally not necessary? I...
