I just said a prayer for you, Big Ed. I was 40 when my regular doctor found my elevated PSA with a blood test from a routine physical. No symptoms other than being slightly enlarged. She had decided...

Awesome questions, Tamu. Make sure you ask those, Motelmat. I think what swayed Sara and i toward my surgeon was talking to him one on one for a while. We had confidence in him from that, and the way...

I'm on day 4 after a DaVinci RLP, and i was curious if anyone else has had pain in the area where the drainage tube was. I'm not sure if this location is the same for everyone, but my doctor inserted...
Thank you all!!!! Hang tough, JayMan....going into that procedure was the scariest event of my life because i am a major sissy about needles and getting cut. I've been healthy as a horse my whole...
