Welcome Marcos! Having the "C" word spoken in the context of YOU is pretty hard to take. Often more difficult than it being attached to a loved one. You sound like you have a good head on your...
Beautiful! I hadn't seen the stamp before now. Thanks, Barry...

Congratulations, David! They could not have picked a better person. You continue to help us with the cause. I only have one important question... Did they let you choose your own makeup? All the...

Hi sfigato, Welcome to Healing Well. I hope your recovery continues to go well. I'm a little concerned about all the "activity" so soon following surgery. Your body had some major attacks on it and...
Sexual intercourse can bump the PSA reading but it is very slight, nothing off the charts as in your PSA over 7.0. With a family history of PCa, it may be wise to have another biopsy. As the doc why...
Another warm welcome to Healing Well. I'm sorry for the reason for you to join, but there are many here, as you have seen, to lend support and caring. It is wise to get second and third opinions...
