Paxton, it is good hearing from you and that is a very positive update. The “tall one” was always helpful to others and went above and beyond the call of duty to help with information. Thanks for...
Fantastic! Michael...
That is an outstanding update, Nels. Let me know when you get on your mtn. Bike, as mine is sitting in my garage and looks at me every time I walk through the garage. Michael...
Jeff, that is some major updates on your property. Do you on that Lake home during the winters. I wasn't up there the year Sonny got married, but I remember meeting Andrew "in the shop" and I think...
Slapshot, That area is majestic nature. Going to the sun road is a treat. Glacier National park is right at the top of my favorite national parks. And Glen, good for you on the weight loss. Keep it...
Worried Guy, I had been thinking of you lately, and wondered how you were doing. My trip up there about ten years ago was fantastic and I got to meet you, and Sonny and a number of others. My...
My PCP began testing my psa during my annual physical, and she caught mine when I was 59yo and then referred me to a urologist. I forget at what age she began testing me, and it might have been at...
Brian, that is some very positive results, so that is great. You are right, that for a number of us it has been a very long journey. At this point I think that I dread the lupron shot vs. the psa...
Paul, Good to hear from you and thanks for the update. That is great what you have done with Fran.talk. Michael...
The vision that I had of myself growing old has just not panned out for me. Too many surgeries, too many probes, too much radiation. And add the xtandi, lupron, Zytiga along the way, my body does not...
At the age of 83yo it can certainly be more difficult. He has a lot going on right now and he might focus on taking care of the bladder infection with some type of antibiotics and he might try...
Reno rod, welcome to HW. I was on Zytiga but the side effects were minimal compared to xtandi. It would be worth a try to see if you can tolerate it. For me the adt, going on 11 years, has had more...
Jim, the good news is that it appears to be working quite well. Undetectable is a zero, after reaching 8. They can always to increase your dosage if need be. Thanks for checking in. Michael...
Take care down there. Up in North Georgia we are getting some much needed rain and a break from the heat and the sun. Wednesday looks like it might be the worst of the storm up here. Michael...
Steve, I am stage 4 with Mets to the spine and ribs. And I have ten + years of adt with some side effects that can ruin a day. The last four years I have been .oo on my psa tests, but I chose to stay...
Robber: Your money or your life! Robber: Well, what will it be. Jack Benny: I'm thinking, I'm thinking....
Last week a little over 3,000 cases in Georgia and this week a little over 5,000 cases. The new vaccine might be ready next month. Michael...
One of the things that I have started doing is paying more attention to my blood work results in my chart. It has called to my attention that I better begin eating more vegetables to help combat the...
Thanks for the update Glen, and good to hear that you are doing better. Michael...
It is good to hear from you and thanks for the update on your father. I am not to familiar with flutamide but it appears to be adt. Hopefully with that treatment and Zytiga he will do well. While I...
Vince, I think it would be difficult to make a connection between sports involvement and being patriotic. However, given that most of my friends have been teachers or administrators, sports might be...
Glad that your day is over, and I hope that your test turns out fine. Get some rest. Michael...
Joe, Thanks for the update and I wish that there was better news. Hopefully the science team will be along soon. My guess is that you are looking at adt plus at least xtandi and maybe radiation. I am...
What a great update Wings. Go zytigaaaaaaaa. Michael...
At the age of 36 I took up running and completed several marathons. In 2019 while on xtandi I gave up running at the age of 70. After 14 years of prostate cancer and counting, I sometimes feel like I...
Thanks for the update and that is very good news. Michael...
Yes I remember Wes Unseld drafted by the Baltimore bullets before becoming Capitol Bullets. Wes was also a very good coach later in his career. Michael...
It has been awhile since I tuned into a baseball game on TV, but was watching a game earlier this week and the new rules have sped up the game in a good way. Baseball was probably past due for those...
Thanks for the reminder, Jack. And I saw Jerry back in the 80s in Athens, Ga. My face hurt from laughing so hard. Michael...
Tom, welcome to HW. I don’t have ataxia so I can’t answer your question. After ten years of lupron I believe most of my side effects have been with headaches and dry skin. And I am sure that there...
Fantastic news! Michael...
Good to hear from you Jim. Thanks for the update and good to hear that it is going well. Michael...
After ten years of lupron injections, my relationship with that drug is love/dislike. While I can see what it has done to my body, how can I possibly hate a drug that is keeping me alive, and off of...
My guess is that liability weighs on their mind and wallet. Michael...
That is fantastic Paul, Thanks for the update. Michael...
Good to hear that it is going well. The heat in the SW as well as most of the south is not a fun fact when you are on adt. I will have to Google mounjaro to see what that is. Stay cool and keep us...
Exercise is like chicken soup for the soul and the mind. At 74yo and having been stage 4 for the last ten years, there are no more top ten finishes. But a good walk with the dogs and 35 minutes of...
A woman board’s a bus in Columbus with her infant. The bus driver looks at the baby, and says “ that is the ugliest baby I have ever seen. “ The woman walks to the back of the bus and sits down next...
Caleb, thanks for checking in. Having ED and incontinence 7 years after the fact is not the norm, My surgery took place in 2009, and I have ED since that time. During the surgery the IV line carrying...
I hear you. And I was told that I was not a good candidate for an AUS due to being at risk for more bladder stones. He told me that I have a crevice in my bladder that will put me at risk. That was...
Kcragman, That is fantastic and thanks for checking in. Michael...
Just fantastic....
I asked my doctor if my heart was strong enough for sex, and he told me not if I joined in ! Rodney Dangerfield...
Nels, here’s hoping that your flight is uneventful. After my surgery it was pretty much water, and day 3 I began my morning cup of coffee. All in all it sounds like you are doing well. FYI, after my...
Thanks for the update and the good news regarding your psa, Steve. Michael...
Great to hear from you, Mal. Thanks for the positive update. Michael...
Nels, it wasn’t at an incision site, happy to say. And in the last three months I have begun working out with weights. Nothing major but it has been nice to spend 35-40 minutes thee or four days a...
Good to hear from you, Galileo. You have a lot of medical issues on your plate, and prostate cancer is the least of them. Thanks for checking in and hope to hear from you somewhere down the road....
One of those things that I forgot to pay close attention to is, once we have our prostate removed we have increased risk for hernia’s. About 18 months after surgery I was cutting up a downed tree,...
And cheers and congratulations right back at you, Sagittarian. Michael...
