If his DD214 says that he was a "boots on the ground" GI, prostate cancer is a presumptive condition. In short, if you were in country and develop PC later, it is assumed that Agent Orange is the...
jerseycity, Watch this video if you want to know more about the procedure: http://www.orlive.com/sentara-profile/videos/incontinence-surgery-the-male-sling...
jersycity, My condition was similar to yours. The leakage after 18 moths had decreased to minimal, but varied. Some days, i wouldn't need a pad but other days required a light one, especially during...
David, It should count. I have several friends that were F4 jocks stationed in Thailand that just landed at Ton Son Nut for fuel and food and received full benefits. They start with your DD-214....
dawgfan, Thanks for the info. Are you satisfied with the results of your procedure?...
kw, Thanks for the info. It appears that you were relatively pain-free at about two weeks when you returned to work. I'm sorry that you went through all of that without getting the results that you...
SkyDaver, kw, egor, et al, I am scheduling the procedure to have an Advance Male Sling and would like to know the recovery time you experienced so that I can plan my future after the procedure. I...
Yes, I do have some questions regarding the benefit of the procedure versus my current situation. I am 18 months out from surgery and I have recently stopped using pads. This does not mean that I...
Bump....does anybody have a recommendation?...
I would also be interested in finding a recommended AMS surgeon in Northern California. TSFFZ...
Bump...
I am also interested in any response to this thread as I am a considering this procedure. My leakage is minor (<1 light pad/day) but it is driving me crazy. However, I am concerned that the sling...
Steve, Thank you for your support. I do want to go on, and will, but dealing with this PCa and the side effects has not been a day at the beach, especially after losing my wife. Your words mean a lot...
Steve, I'm sorry for your loss. My wife went through the same process and passed away on October 2, 2007. WE gfought the cancer for 7 years, but only dealt with the brain tumor for a year. But, I...
pcBeGone, I can recommend Dr. Curtis Pettaway at M.D. Anderson....
....as far as your disability and service connection goes though, you're still recieving that right? Bluenose....yes, for the present. However, I recently had my re-evaluation and anticipate a...
John T, I really don't know about the length of benefits or much more than I have already posted but, due to the fact that you are retired Army, your situation may be even better. You should contact...
Bluenose, I believe that we both may be correct in our understanding. When an in-country viet vet has PCa, he is considered 100% disabled during treatment. Grunt was asking about the re-evaluation...
Yes, it does matter. Check out the following link: http://www.warms.vba.va.gov/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_115a.DOC As you know, you are automatically rated at 100% during your treatment. The...
Thanks, that works MUCH better!...
My search function appears to be compromised; I just did a new search for trimix over the last year and only received your last post. Thanks, again, for all of the helpful links...
Thanks!...
James, Thanks for the detailed and timely response. Although you mentioned that "there's lots of info detailing that subject here, so some reading will be in order if you decide to go the injection...
How painful are injections to address ED and how long will the erection last if successful? HS...
I have found that having a pad count is not definitive so, I have started weighing my leakage. I am currently using 1 pad/day w/15 gms. of urine. This can certainly increase with activity and...
