Sorry I haven't been around much in the last year to give any advice, but the recession hit our family and it's been tough going until recently. Enough of that though, the good news is that I...
Congratulations! Nice to see so many here getting early Christmas gifts. I received my 18 month results last week and pulled another 0. Let's pass the karma on to are brothers....
Merry Christmas, Bob! Your post-op path is almost identical to mine!...
Grand news! Good luck in the future and here's to a lifetime of 0s. What a wonderful Christmas gift....
Best Christmas present of all. Congratulations!...
Hi everyone. I haven't been around much lately due to a double whammy - first was a job loss and then Tropical Storm Fay left us with some flooding damage. However, I'm happy to report that both...
Wow, four years! Congratulations....
Holding steady is a very good thing. Congratulations....
Congratulations! Here's to a lifetime of 0s. Jack...
Great news, and congratulations! Here's to a lifetime of those beauties! Jack...
My lymph nodes were spared. My surgeon told me it was standard practice for him only if it appeared from the biopsy results that there was a high chance that the cancer was contained. If the biopsy...
Welcome to the one-year cancer free club! Hope to see you in the two-year club. Jack...
CONGRATULATIONS! And good luck with the rest of your recovery. Jack...
Congratulations on being cancer free, and may you continue to pull nothing but 0s. As far as all-natural erections, I'm sure you'll get there soon....
After my catheter was removed I was getting up between three and five times a night. Talk about being tired the next day! As time went on that was reduced. Fourteen-months post-op I can generally...
I'm so happy for you Biker. Congratulations! I'm about five months behind you and hope to follow in your footsteps....
Thanks, James, for doing a job that takes time and demands navigation through choppy waters at times. Your work is much appreciated. Jack...
As you can see below at my signature line, my father and g-g-grandfather had PC. My father had his prostate removed 11 years ago and has been cancer free ever since. My g-g-grandfather died from it....
Wow, another member of the one-year club. Congratulations! May you have a 0 PSA for the rest of your life....
Grand news indeed, Mika. CONGRATULATIONS! May you have a lifetime of 0s! Jack...
Amazing how fast a year can go by, Mika. I passed my one-year anniversary six-weeks ago. Welcome to the club. May you have 0 PSAs for the rest of your life. Jack...
Tony, Thanks for all you've done. Forum-Moderator is not an easy job and can be thankless task at times due to myriad reasons. Judging from what's been happening on this forum recently I can't say...
Sorry to hear your news, but welcome nonetheless. We're all here for support and good luck with the treatment you choose. Just make sure you take your time and feel free to ask as many questions as...
Welcome home, Biker! My prayers today will be for your speedy recovery. Jack...
Tony, Your mom, Walt and Biker will be in my prayers this evening. And happy birthday, brother, may you have many, many more. Jack...
That's just wonderful, montee. Congratulations! Your story is very intriguing. Your doctors gave you 5 years since they felt the nodule was outside the prostate? Wow, and you end up having a pretty...
Grand! Thanks for the update, Swim. I've been thinking and praying for our Biker all day....
Idaho, welcome to the six-month club!!! Now, lets graduate to the one-year club! Congratulations....
Grand news, Jetman! Nice to see so many undetectable PSAs around here lately....
I tried Viagra first, and would have excellent results most of the time, but for 24 hours afterward I would get very congested and sneeze a lot. I switched to Cialis which lasts a little longer and...
Congratulations, Salty! Sounds like your chances of remaining cancer free are excellent. Here's to a lifetime of 0s, brother....
Greetings and good luck tomorrow, Doc. If it's any comfort, and I know some of our biopsy experiences are different from person to person, I felt no discomfort at all. Nothing but a little pinch with...
I experienced something similar, GetBetter. My family physician didn't notice anything on the DRE, told me everything felt normal, but referred me to a urologist since my PSA was 3.0, which was high...
Nemo, judging from your numbers it appears as if you caught the beast in time. I can't stress Biker's advice enough, i.e., get in the best possible shape you can over the next several weeks. There is...
Biker, just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed and learned so much from your posts over the last year. Good luck this week. You are in my prayers, brother. Jack...
Congratulations, Tim! Two-years is a big deal. I recently passed one-year and I can honestly say that although, obviously, I would never have chosen to have prostate cancer, going through the...
I think the passing of time has been what has most kept my mind off of prostate cancer. Once the pathology report showed the cancer was confined, post-surgery issues with incontinence and achieving...
Personally I'm very skeptical about that article. Yes, eating the right foods and exercising is important and beneficial, but for 20 years before I was diagnosed I was in excellent physical shape...
Congratulations on all fronts, Bob! The post-op news can't get much better than that. Wow....
Congratulations! There sure has been a lot of good news with these undetectable PSAs around here lately. Keep em comin guys!...
I'm Irish-Catholic, Geon, and I have to say I'm in total agreement with Biker Jim on this one. I could not have said it any better myself. Do whatever you have to do my friend. Jack...
Grand news indeed, Bama. Congratulations! Your numbers and age are very close to mine. Looks like we caught the demon in time, and may he never return again....
Wow, axeman, that's great. Congratulations! What was your post-op Gleason on your pathology report, by the way?...
A big, hearty congratulations, and welcome to the "One-Year Post Surgery Undetectable PSA Club." And here's to hoping for a huge increase in members....
Grand news indeed, and congratulations of the highest order! Nice to see so many big fat 0s around here lately....
Although it’s only been a year, reading your story brings back clear memories of wondering when I was going to regain full continence. Although I had control at night and while sitting, my biggest...
Age 49 when diagnosed; PSA 3.0; Gleason 6; DaVinci surgery May 21, 2007; pathology report was Gleason 7 (3+4), negative margins, negative capsular penetration, negative seminal vesicals, lymph nodes...
I just received the results from my fifth post surgery PSA test and one year out from surgery it remains at <0.1. I can now go to six-month testing and if it's still undetectable after those two...
Fantastic news, Jim. So glad to hear that it's at an early stage....
Congratulations, Randy! Grand news indeed. I'm currently going through the anxiety thing waiting on my fifth and one year post surgery PSA test. We never receive the results quick enough do we....
