Forgot to update his treatment on signature. In January/Feb 2012 he received 33 sessions of RT. I believe it was 60 Gy plus a boast. Thank you all!...

We have Kaiser and husband went to Dr. Glenn Tonnesen from INOVA Fairfax Hospital. 703-776-3731. I believe Kaiser also has a contract with Dr. Anu Gupta 703-934-4450. Husband was very pleased with...
To 1370, actually, one oncologist (from a major cancer institution) that we saw for second opinion, did recommend my husband be on HT for only 6 months. We decided to get a third opinion (for...
Sonny, Your love for each other was such a beautiful love story. I pray that you find peace and comfort from family and friends during this difficult time. May her memory be eternal... Hugs and...
I'm shocked and angry at hearing this. Quite a few men were diagnosed soley on a suspisious PSA. My husband was totally asymptomatic, DRE negative, no family history of prostate cancer or any other...
Mary, Willie and family, I had tears for you while reading your story. Lots of hugs and prayers through this difficult time....
Congrats and wish you many more zeros to come. Hubby finished SRT a couple of months ago. His only complaint was an increase need to go to the bathroom. Everyone is different but am hoping for the...
Many prayers for you Susan and your family. You can do this!!!! I admire and value your strength and inner spirit. Keep the faith and stay focus on your new job training. I'm sure you'll be missed by...
When I was pregnant, my ob/gyn MD gave me a prescription for xylocaine jelly. It came with a long tip and was able to gently insert prior to going to the bathroom. Wait a couple of minutes, then...
Hi ladies! I'm a wife too with hubby recently diagnosed with PCa. Husband had similar numbers..unfortunately he had 2 postive lymph nodes. So, in addition to casodex and lupron, he's doing radiation...
Hi Walkbyfaith, I can chime in here as we have Kaiser also. We got referrals for both the medical oncologist and the radiation oncologist from the urologist seeing my husband. The oncologist wasn't...
Hi Hope4thebest, We saw Dr. Nancy Dawson at Georgetown and also went to Johns Hopkins for second and third opinions. Both MDs spent considerable time with us and had a wealth of information. With Dr....
Yeah!!! I love seeing post with members in the zero club. It gives hope for the rest of us!! Congrats Bronson!!...
Interesting post as my husband seeked a second opinion with a medical oncologist and he suggested that he only be on HT for 6 months. The first onc suggested the usual 18 - 24 months. It appears that...
Jean, just trying to make sense also... but I would think that drinking the baking soda/molasses mixture would just change the pH of your urine (I believe that's how you said you are checking your...
It's so comforting to hear great news since I'm a new Gleason 7. Hopefully, I'll be there too. Wish you many more years in the Zero Club. Ditto oi, oi, oi, yeee haaa and zippity do da and all that...
Welcome Yessdee. Just a suggestion.... you call Johns Hopkins and make an appointment for a second opinion since you have time before your scheduled surgery. See what they have to say. Like others...
JNF, just to clarify, one needs to take Avodart with Casodex and Lupron or in place of one of these meds? Thanks all for your helpful info and your support. God knows we'll be needing it!!...
Yes, RT will be started some time in January. That's about 4 months post-op. He'll have it for 5/week for 8 weeks. We're in a HMO, so the urologists are the ones that administer and monitor HT. We...
Hi all! Unfortunately a newbie here. Husband (56 y.o) was diagnosed in Sept, had the DaVinci laparoscopic surgery end of Sept. After consultations, he has decided to go on casodex and lupron. Is...
