Congratulations!...
Great result, Wings. Much inspiration in your story!...
Stephen, I know from personal experience how very disappointing it feels when it appears that initial treatments failed -- though it's a little early to know for sure in your case. If the PSA...
Good to see your post Redwing. I'm right at 6 years. I remember going online and seeing that my first PSA of 20.8 likely meant serious business. I still recall the sick feeling that rolled through my...
***I should say that my urologist strongly suggested I have my prostate removed*** ***Doing radiation first makes it more difficult to remove the prostate later*** Nolakevin, the above statements are...
$104!!! Are those premium seats? How could you take your family to a game at that rate? As a kid, our family vacations were built around going to Cubs, Twins, Cardinals, Brewers, and Royals games....
**watchfull worrier , lol** The last line of your signature says it all. 🙂 Keep doing your PSA tests, and presumably you're having DREs. The trick is to only worry about worrisome things. Easier...
At your PSA, it's not surprising that nothing showed on your scans -- but it's good to have the scans if needed as a baseline years down the road. Nevertheless, it's still good news that nothing came...
Have a great weekend!...
Things are working as expected!...
Helvetica and Times New Roman walk into a bar. “Get out of here!” shouts the bartender. “We don’t serve your type.”...
Or, how about the guys who decide they've had enough of it, and try to remove it -- not realizing there's a balloon that needs deflating....
Glad to hear things are going much better for you. Congratulations!...
I agree it's a good thread that could help reduce anxiety for lurkers. Thanks for posting it....
PS, forgot to mention the solution that was injected into my bladder prior to catheter removal. It came gushing out like a fountain, with the nurse trying to catch it in a pan. Lol...
Glad it worked out for you. Mine just slid out on its own and I didn't feel a thing....
Even without the sign, you're doing very well. Some very highly regarded centers use PSA tests that only go down to 0.1, in which case you would be undetectable. You have a long ways to go before...
Yes, you gotta love the < sign. The signs are looking good for you!...
Nice outcome!...
PS, Zags are a pretty darned good team, but I thought way overrated the whole season....
Woo hoo from me too!...
It would appear that we have been shamed away from the Friday jokes, which is sad. What happened to the understanding that if you're older and sick, you can do whatever the hell you want? Times have...
I am three hours from retirement. Lol...
Time started again yesterday for many people. I did watch the Yankees and Blue Jays go to extra inning. Start the 10th with runner on 2nd base. Weird....

Or, put another way, ADT is "chemical castration" -- just as if you you were castrated by having your testicles removed. Castration removes most of the testosterone from your system, thus suppressing...
First thing that went through my mind was does he have one core of G6. Hopefully it all works out well enough for him....
Congratulations frostypro!...
My last day of work is April 3rd. I don't think retirement will be a panacea, but the stress reduction will be welcomed. Changes in routine, even positive ones, require some adjustment. Got my first...
Being on ADT can give you perspective sometimes. 😉...
We've probably all "cancelled" ourselves by the age of 10....
Outstanding outcome. Congratulations!...
I'm grateful today for another PSA < 0.01. I have a really good handle on PSA test anxiety, but those two hours or so between the blood draw and the result posted on the portal -- that's still a real...
Results may not be revealed until ASCO meeting in June....
Lol 👍...
My focus is now on 5 seed Iowa women. They made the round of 16 today....
Good to see you back here, 81GG!...
How about that? Both shots scheduled. First one this Friday. Things are working better than I thought....
Hawkeyes went down this morning. 😐 I am now rooting for Michigan to salvage some Big 10 pride, and for any team to beat Gonzaga....
Thanks DT. It does sound promising. Unfortunately, they seem to want $31.50 for full article access....
Well, I was allowed to sign up a week ago. Got a message today saying I would be contacted within two weeks for my "appointment information." Lol. Inching closer to Moderna....
I haven't tried Kindle but I'm thinking I wouldn't like it. There's nothing like the feel of having a book my hands. I'm sure a Kindle is a lot more economical though....
Yep, the Big 10 isn't looking so big. Only Michigan, Maryland, and my Hawkeyes are still standing....
Gobucks, yeah I watched in disbelief....
Currently reading "Dereliction of Duty" by HR McMaster. A rather unflattering account of president Johnson, McNamara, and the JCS, whose lies and deceptions between themselves and to the American...
I'm excited for the start of March Madness today. More bits and pieces of normalcy....
** “Boy Books,” that is history and biography. ** Lol. Sounds a lot like me....
