David,
I'm sorry about your latest episode. I can't believe how the hits just keep coming at you. Hang in there and don't despair. Remember, the most important thing is to beat this PCa and whatever cost. Hopefully this is just a bump on the road to recovery.

David, I live in Orlando. My sister lives in Atlanta. A trip to see her then swing by your neck of the woods for some great BBQ sounds like a great idea.

I will look for the doc tomorrow when I have my cath removed. I will ask him about the possibility of you calling him.

Hi David,

Unbelievable sequence of events you're going through! I wish there was a way for all of us to team up and beat the crap out of this situation.

The fact that you have managed to hang tough throughout this saga demonstrates how strong you really are. A real inspiration for the rest of us.

Best of luck to you,
Bob

good life, not sure if its a character thing, or just a strong will to make it, to beat this thing, but thanks for the kind thought

EdC - the at all cost part is starting to prove true with my journey, nothing is being won easily.

Sonny, thanks for your help, and if you come south, less than two hours north of Atlanta, depending on what side of the city you are aiming for. We would love a visit if you come this way. Got a great guest room too if needed, or if you are RVing, can hook up in my back yard.

Bob, thank you too, its funny how people perceive things, I see myself weak through all this, and fearful at times, I can handle anything that I know about, I don't like surprises, told my new rad. oncologist that on Monday.

I cannot imagine what you are going through. Remember that our thoughts are with you and we are all here for you.

Regards,

Bill, thank you for your concerned.

Sonny, then I guess you would be coming north, not south. Up to yankeeland of South Carolina, lol. I make up the entire SC fan club of the New England Patriots, btw.

If you didn't mind another horning in, I could drop down to Greenville for a mini-meet... scool

James, that would be incredible if we could turn this into something. One of our other regular posters is planning on coming down soon too from Canada. Perhaps I can compare all notes and we can make something happen. That would make at least 4 of us.

David,
Another comment about the Supra pubic catheter. I wish I had known about it when I had surgery. I developed Kelami's (Uretheral manipulation syndrome) a curvature in the penis which has never gone away. This was caused by a foley catheter being in for over two weeks.. I am surprised that you have not developed it with all your catherizations. That is a good case to present to your Uro.

bootheel,

Never heard of that before, so I will have to look it up and research on it. No, to my knowledge no problem like that with my weiner.
And that's after a 63 stay on several caths in a row, and my most recent stint of 38 days straight. Perhaps I don't have enough to bend, lol.
