It's a very good question. I thought I was ready to handle all that they through at me. I was wrong. These are the things the doctor told me not to worry about because they only affect a small...
John, Please keep in touch. I have this strange feeling I'll be following you down the radiation path. It would help to know when I'm in for. My email is active on this profile I think. Take care....
Sorry I really don't have an answer for you on this one... I do have an 6 inch scare behind my right ear from an inderminate on my skull. After having a silver dollar or skull removed and biopsied,...
You guys are my TRUE heros and an inspiration to all of us....
Yes please write back and let us know how is went with the extra test. My own PSA is doing the same thing and I'd like to think it's just noise! Email me please. Roger...
Great List Tony, I had 6 out of 8 signs and even then it took me over three years to go see a doctor, and only to see if I had a bladder infection. A need to urinate frequently, especially at night;...
James, I'm going to ask for them as well. One is better than none I guess. Thank you for the Trimix answers. Roger Grondin...
Well it's been 18 months now and my PSA came in at 0.05. A little higher than 0.03 (my last readin), but well within the margin of error for the test. As for my ED, I found out yesturday that the Doc...
Life Insurance... I only thought about it after the doctor said "You have cancer"....
My wife has waited for me to return to form for over 18 months now. We have snuggled, and we have used many alternative means but it not the same. Both never bundle were supposedly sparred but...

The title of the post had me scared!! I can handle the occational leak, ...and am slighly depressed about my ED .... BUT DON'T TOUCH MY BEER /community/emoticons/nono.gif ...
Tony, I could not agree more with you. It's the fact that we, god willing, still have another 35+ years to live. Without early detection and treatment making 50 would have been iffy at best. Roger...
Hello Mountain, Welcome to the younger half of The Club for Men :) Like Tony said, start doing those Kegels and hopefully the incontinence will improve. I personally found for about the first three...
I had to jump through hoops to get my ED meds approved by my insurance company. Once approved I was REALLY supprised that they limited the amount covered. The coverage did not even come close to my...
As others have said patience is a virtue. I'm just shy of the 18 month mark, and am only now starting to see some life in the little (an I stress little now) bugger. I waking up at 2am from a strange...

I had the my JB drain in for just under three weeks, and Catheter for four weeks. For a while I had more urine coming out it than the Catheter. Scared the crap out of me. I ended up finding someone...
Unhappy, I had my catheter and JP drain in for a long time as well. Trust the doctors... it will heal. It got to the point my man purse had a pain. Have they placed the foley under TRACTION yet? That...
Yes, but it did take a while to show up in the mail....
Yuk Yuk Yuk. /community/emoticons/tongue.gif Heck, I can't get mine out of the holster! I'm glad the lot of us can find the humour in this. Here's hoping all goes well for you when you loose your man...
Well, here is a report from Canada, not Britain. I had a choice of doctors. I selected one in Hamilton because I wanted it removed with out being opened up. It's not the same vast selection as...
Mike, What can I say, but that I'm sorry that we have to invite you to the club at such an early age. About 18 months ago I was going through the same emotional roller coaster you are now. If you...

Absolutely Ecstatic!! I just past the one year mark with an undetectable PSA, and I also finally close the books on hemmirod/bleeding problem. I finally got in and saw a doctor about my rectal...

Rob, On Thursday I get the results of my 12 month PSA test. I found the 6 week, 3 month and 6 month check-up the worst. I hardly slept for a week leading up to the doctors appointment....
Butt Doctor... I like that. I'm off to see one next week. I'm hoping it's something simple....
David, I'm wishing you all the best. Keep a stiff upper lip and have faith that the doctor will get this thing. Being a little scare only proves that we are still alive and kicking. Tony, us 40 year...
No Cookie with that OJ ;) I guess this means sometime later this fall I can go and donate again....
I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but I did have a lot of pain in the rear after surgery. I currently still having issue, but I think these are more related to hemmirods. I'd give it until your 3...
That's what I was thinking. I'll give it another try next weekend as it was actually doing something....
I gave cialis one more try before switching over the levitra this past weekend. I took one on Friday and another on Sunday. Saturday afternoon I was tired, but was suprised to see the cialis was...

Tony, I guess I count myself fortune in this regards. I had two surgery in two different hospitals last year. In both cases as each stop along with way (admitting, presurgury, and just before...
41, That sounds eerily familiar. I almost did bolt from the presurgery area. Thank you for the sorry and encouragement. Roger ...
Do I regret having my surgery... Yes. Ask me again in five or so years and the answer may be different, but at the moment it yes. I do look for strength in those fighting both the complications and...
Randy, I agree whole hardly with you. It is much better to be alive..... but I do miss the physical part of our relationship. We celebrated our 21st anniversary this past weeking, with a nice dinner...
