Before my husband was diagnosed with PC he never was much interested in IC. I was always the one with the "healthy" appetite. Once he was diagnosed with advanced PC, I blamed his previous uninterest...
Remember - The younger you are, the faster the PCa will metastasize. (This is true with most cancers.) Therefore, if you are in your 60's, 70's there is not as much need to be concerned with the...
I am at work and have been on this site about an hour now reading about this HIFU but I still don't know exactly what it is or what is done. Since this PCa thing is new to me also - I have just begun...
Since I went to therapist when I had breast cancer, I have wanted my husband to go to my therapist also. He claims he is not depressed, but he has changed. Why don't men talk about things? I also get...
Dear Lifeline - My husband just had a Zometa shot on Friday (1/18). He always feels as if he has the flu for a couple of days. He was also very happy go lucky before and now his personality has...
Thank you, thank you, Tony and Susan, you have made me feel as if I am not alone in this. Isn't it funny how you feel you are the only one in this situation when there are so many living with this...
Dear David, It seems that you are in the closest to the situation that my husband is in--God Bless you and your family. I realize that this is an all consuming thing to deal with, it is never out of...
Jim - I am new to this site as it took me a long time to find this site because it seems as if finding information about PCa is hard. Most men won't talk about it--including my husband. I am glad...
Thank you all so very much - I knew what to ask when I was diagnosed with the ca, but with my husband, I didn't even know where to begin. I have no idea what the Gleason is, so I will ask that next...
Thank you all for your support. When I had the breast cancer I did go on the website and found someone who was going through the exact same thing as me. It really did help. The problem here is that I...
I am new to this site because this is the first time I have been able to find it. This is the story: I had breast cancer in 2006/2007 finished treatments. A month later my husband was diagnosed with...
I, too, will get this shot after my treatment next Wednesday. It is a good thing I looked at your entries. I figured I would go right back to work the next day, but since I will be getting the shot,...
Leah - I am right with you girl. This is the first week I haven't cried every day and I think it is because my treatments are finally about to start--but the hair loss has to be the worst--I still...
Leah - I am feeling better this week--in a better mood--I will be starting chemo next Wednesday (finally!) and I am trying to enjoy every last minute before I start. It sucks when you feel good and...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif Have any of you ER+, PR+ bc survivors changed your way of eating? I am trying to avoid soy and found that it is in everything. I went to have a grahm craker-soy;...
Dear Deb - Thank you for the encouragement. I just wish I could get started on the treatments and be done with it. (I also have to worry if the "dit" will actually be something.) I think once I get...
Did any of you go through all kinds of testing before you began chemo? I have had every test known and it seems that this bc thing just keeps getting worse. I was supposed to begin my chemo on...
Leah - I hope you are starting to feel better. I had another down day today--when does it stop? I was supposed to start chemo tomorrow (sept 6) and was all ready for it, but got a call that the last...
Thank you for the encouragement. I think over this weekend I will look for a wig--oh to think about that--anyway, I start chemo on Wednesday the 6th. Let me know how yours is going, leah...and did...
Hi! I am new to this site also and am going through what Leah is. I have been diagnosed with Stage III bc, 2.5 cm tumer removed along with 16 lymph nodes (6 of which were cancerous). Had my...
