Skypilot, My best hopes for your wife getting her medical care. In reading my post again I think I could have used a better tone....
NKS, Well your post was sounding promising until the end. I didn't go back to reread the whole thread, but I wonder if they be able to zap the node. Hang in there and there and keep us posted....
If one feels that it's chaotic right now, imagine what it would be like if half the country was infected with covid19 at the same time. Perhaps a tour of a front line ER would provide an attitude...
Stecruz, Zytiga and Xtandi - either one will probably do the job just as well as the other. Zytiga works by further reducing the T that Lupron doesn't get out of your system. Xtandi works by blocking...
Wayne, sounds like great plan. Please let us how things go. Good luck!...
Fran, I encourage you to take the dire predictions with a grain of salt. My side-effects have been quite tolerable after a year into it. I started walking - now four miles per day 4x per week. I've...
Fran, Of course the first shot was only 30 days to see if you have a bad reaction. I would not expect the three month shot to give side-effects above the short shot. It's possible your side-effects...
Yep, anxiety usually is wasted energy. Easier said than done to turn it off. Good luck with your infusions!...
Come on guys. Show me a government that doesn't lie. Maybe we can let it go. The virus doesn't give a damm anyway....
Well, there's not much to say. You've had RP/RT and you're clearly recurrent. If you are not already seeing a PCa MO, that would be my next stop. Seeing an RO is a good idea for possible spot...
Well, if Dr Fauci can barely contain his laughter when our leader speaks about the pandemic, I don't suppose the Chinese government is any better....
Big Brother knows best. They figure if masks were recommended, people would hoard them and people would assume they don't need to social distance when wearing one. Oops, maybe the authorities were...
Are you sure you didn't see Mr Beam today? Sure beats getting the virus. Your codes are copied and understood. Over, and out....
"Those of us here over 60 and those who are on any anti - cancer drugs are "at risk" and have compromised immune systems. We must act like that or we risk death." My job is one that can be done from...
Yep, nursing facility in Tucson reported 27 residents and three staff positive for covid19. Once the virus is inside, very tough situation....
Tucson nursing home - 27 residents and three staff positive for covid19. This type of thing is very heartbreaking....
Congratulations. 👍...
I don't know. My hope is that when we get through this pandemic we have a better sense that we have the ability to tackle other issues that in reality are more pressing, such as climate change. The...
R-0, Seems to me you need to get the ball rolling on SRT NOW. I would try to contact an RO to explain your situation and get a Lupron shot lined up to stop the cancer progression. If, in fact, your...
My experience was very similar to your's. It didn't take long for me to get back to wearing one pad a day, "just in case."...
I've noticed that the forum has slowed down to just about nothing. Maybe everyone is relaxing because we now know we'll all be okay come Easter. Okay, back to your regularly scheduled nothing, or...
That is quite interesting. It may be possible you've already been infected and recovered....
"A model predicting the progression of the novel coronavirus pandemic produced by researchers at Imperial College London set off alarms across the world and was a major factor in several governments'...
"Just a heads up, as, Interviewing doctors can be an intimidating (and delicate) task." Yes. And do you really want to piss off (at least subconsciously) the guy who may be slicing you up? 😉...
" However, he recommends I do two more PSA tests 3 months apart before having a biopsy." Having a biopsy? I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you referring to your earlier post about Epstein...
Might be better to ask your pharmacist. It's bad enough getting advice here for PCa 😉...
Interesting. I happened to speak to my pharmacist today and I asked him if he had a feel for medication availability or supply distribution issues. He said that everything seems fine except for "a...
Don't forget to thank the cashiers at the grocery and convenience stores. Real troopers for not a lot of pay....
Good to hear Halbert. Sounds like a win....
"I took lisinopril for years. everytime I got sick i'd get a terrible cough that I couldn't shake." That is what is concerning to me because a well known side-effect of Lisinopril is an annoying...
Great. I take Lisinopril. I doubt I will change it though, unless there is a major call to do so....
What? Second pneumonia shot? What's that? I've seen conflicting reports on ADT and Covid 19 susceptibility. Guess I need to do some more research....
To paraphrase Keith Richards a bit from back in the day: If you're going to kick this virus in the teeth, you might as well use both feet. Is this piecemeal shutdown of states going to work, or does...
I don't know jack **** about economics. But my gut tells me that when the time comes, the country will be raring to go at all levels....
"we may not truly know if we overdid it. But, I guarantee that we will know if we didn't do enough." Nytngale, I think that's a great way to sum it all up....
Mike, I'm hoping you get some results with the Taxotere. Good luck!...
"Will do 3 month tests for now on and see what happens.... velocity etc. He's using 0.2 as official reoccurrence but even likely not do anything but watch for awhile." Your Uro seems to be on the...
AJMan, Not all centers do. Some use the standard test. At TY's stage of treatment it serves no purpose and can possibly generate unnecessary anxiety....
This is another example of someone who has had RP and SRT, yet they are on a uPSA test for no good reason. Too young, I hope your Uro is correct and your PSA is bobbing around...
"Now I fart to cover my coughs." I hope your confidence doesn't lead an emergency need for TP....
Well, China claims no new cases. If true, that's encouraging. Bill Gates is saying not to panic. He's thinking this may only last a couple of months. He's not a doctor but he's probably good at...
Good luck with the biopsy outcome and have a safe trip!...
I'm still here....
Can the richest nation in the world afford to go on a three month "siesta" without falling apart? I suspect it can, but I'm no economist....
If they Shelter in Place here in Tucson I guess they will have to shoot me on my morning walk. I never even come close to anyone else....
These are times when a man-cave is handy. Don't work hard down there. 😉...
" I will wipe my ass with the worthless dollars the government will soon be dumping out of helicopters." Lol! I love that image (the helicopters dumping cash). I will gladly send you a 24 pack of TP...
Congratulations! PSA seems stable....
Yes, once we get through this it will be quite interesting to see the imprint the pandemic will leave on society. Some of it will be positive, some of it less so. Maybe it will be a wake up call for...
Manich, I've always felt that the "effort" was geared more towards flattening the curve more than it has been about saving lives. A crisis point would hit if too many people are sick at the same...
