Hello IdahoSurvivor, sorry you've had to come here but you are at the greatest place for information and advice. The first thing is DO NOT PANIC. Before your next visit with your doc ....research, research, research (there is a wealth of information here and at www.yananow.net).....this will give you a greater understanding of what he is saying and what you need to know. Whenever you see a doctor get a hard copy of any test results and file them. Get second medical opinions...........If you don't understand their contents post a question here and you will get answers on your queries. Everybody here is anxious to help. We have all felt what you are feeling now.

    Quote taken from jtp off   Salty_clark’s thread: Salty_clark's Journey Tommorow Tuesday 4/8/08. I go and see the Doctor to let him know I have made up my mind to have the da Vinci treatment. I join the community a couple of weeks ago. I had asked what to expect from this point on and have been reading a lot of the messages in the chat room, which have been answering a lot of my questions. I guess I need to wait untill after the surgery to see what's up on my end, and then go from there. The community has given me a ample list of questions for the doctor. Thanks everyone.

Quote from another thread... by jtp

Thank you everyone.It's nice to be welcomed into a group of fellow prostateian's. I looked over Our Journey. Great information, I will see the doctor at 4PM today and get a date .
I see that it is normal to want to get this out as soon as possible. My head has been telling me I'm probaly sicker that the doctor tells me. Do I have any diet restrictions prior to the surgery? I believe I read I need to go on a clear liquid diet for two days prior, is sthis true.?

 

yeah   Hey ~jtp,

Don't let your head put you in a tailspin.  You have prostate cancer and once you get the pathology report back after surgery ~ then you'll have a more definite idea where you are in this battle.  It is a battle to be cancer free... but it's a battle worth fighting for.  Getting yourself physically fit is really important... start now!!!  And as you read we feel strongly about kegels..  Yep! you'll be on clear liquids and the doctor will give you a sheet with what you can and can't eat. 

Stay close to all of us.... and when the time feels right ~ don't hesitate to start your own thread...  Until then ~ please continue to update here... so we know where you are and we will continue to post here too!  Helping to keep your journey together.

In Friendship ~ Lee & Buddy
