Well guys,I went to the radiation Dr. wednesday.they placed a catheter and the dredded bag in the butt.I got marked and now I am ready to start within the next 7 to 10 days.the cath wasnt as bad as I thought but still didnt caremuch for it.I will keep you guys posted as I go My daughter always ask me why do you put your self through all this and only have a 10 to twenty percent chance of winning. And all I can tell her is 10 to 20 percent is much better than 0%.everybody take care and I will be talking to you shortly.

Zach, glad that's over with, and you can proceed with your plan. Keeep up the spirits and stay close here, if you need some solace and comfort, or just a silly joke once in a while...

Great attitude Zach. Hope all goes well and keep us updated as you can. Will start my IMRT on the 18th so you will have company.

Hey Zach.
You've done everything right and are good to go. There is nothing more to do than empty your bag and have reading material lined up. Consider this a 10 day vacation from pee pads.
Good luck to you,
Jeff.

Good luck Zach,

My urologist told me I had an 18% chance of a cure with the treatment and my response was the same as yours. Beats the @%&* out of a zero chance. It will be over before you know it.
