My friend is vague about it. He also says he is taking testosterone, which is jet fuel to PC, so I'm not sure what to make of any of it. I asked him to send me a copy of the Drs. Gleason Scoring. His...
a GOOD FRIEND WHO KNOWS MY SITUATION ASKED ME FOR ADVICE. HE HAS A PSA OF 3.53 AND A GLEASON OF 4. HE'S ABOUT 68...
Likewise for me on the Zero Club 6 years out. However, Junior never woke up again after the RRP, and it took awhile to get use to slightly soggy briefs. I was told I underwent "Nerve Sparing on the...
Thanks guys, helpful as usual. I probably wouldn't consider the needle, but ML is an RN, so I wouldn't have to poke the little fellow myself. I'm dead sure that would not happen regardless of how...
Less than 6 months before the 5 year mark, and little has changed since the RRP. I still read Zero's,so that's a plus. Incontinence is no issue, however I do now sit down rather than get tired...
With all due respect. How do I know if a PSA test "Saved my life" or not? According to the latest "Experts" I should not have gotten a PSA in the first place since I was "Healthy". When I had my...
Frankly, today I feel angry. Nah, I'm downright pissed off. If I thought the site could handle it, I might even come up with a few F Bombs. I swallow the 2008 bull, hook. line and sinker and go with...
Excuse me... "A Professor of Pediatrics"??? Are children being tested for Prostate Cancer? Do children normally get tested for prostate cancer? Would a Pediatrician even know anything about Prostate...
I'm sure this might upset some: If you believe that holding your husbands hand and praying with him will solve the problem, then go with CTCA. Better yet, save the money and go to Church. If your...
I happened to peek in today and this caught my eye. I had to have a hernia fixed shortly after my PC back in 2008. Like the PC fix, the doctor said it was no big deal, and like the PC (Which is still...
It has been a few moons, but I'm very happy to see the forum still has a great number of familiar names. My RRP was in March, 2008 and was successful in eliminating the cancer. I've been drawing...
My Uro told me going in that he was taking the left nerve bundle and leaving the right one. He says that's what he did, but how do I know? 27 month's later, Junior never woke up from the surgery....
Yeah, we all became eunuchs so we could go out and buy toys to play with. James, I have a GP who pretends we're all a-sexual. He's a great guy, but mention sex and he immediately changes the subject....
Personally, since the DRE is not definitive, one way or the other concerning Pc, I would rely on the PSA numbers, and go straight to biopsy. Either way, he's going to go to biopsy anyway if the PSA...
My family and I wish you the best and we keep you in prayer. It's been a long, bumpy road, but yours and Jame's steady, skillful assist made that road a little smoother to countless green horns like...
Thanks to all, and especially James for the pharmacy stuff. My doctor is not a fan of healing well, he seems annoyed anytime I make a suggestion that comes from here. Then again, he tell's me he...
My doc won't freak, but I'm not sure he knows the different mixes. Isn't Caveject a specific mix?...
The 2 year mark is coming up, but junior is still asleep. Pills and pump NG. I have been using AndroGel once a week or so just to keep the boys in the ball game, but I don't think the one nerve...
OK, So let's see if I can get this past Tony or James in one piece: In the good old days, I spread the normal wealth around with the little woman. Now, there is no "Normal" wealth, but there most...
Yeah, I noticed that too. I have five beautiful children, and I don't think it took that kind of time to make all five. I don't even remember doing that in the drive-in movies at my prime!...
Jeez Tony, The way you framed the question, I thought you were going to ask me if I ever bopped the balogna. (Absolutely not, never in my life!) :yeah: I started smoking at age 7 (Seven). I smoked...
Mr. Gimpy, You're talking to a man who waited until he was 38 before he married because of the blood test involved. After Prostate Surgery, Hernia Surgery, and 3 surgeries on my hand all in the past...
Gold Horse, I did look into MUSE in the very beginning. It was most attractive to me because it wasn't a needle. Nobody seemed to be interested in the subject, my doctor, or the folks on the forum,...
No installer, and the tube is as fat as a water glass. I think I would rather try a twisty tie....
I tried the VED in the very beginning. It worked OK, but as soon as the pressure is released, the tire went flat. I know that it's supposed to work with those rings, but there's no way to get them on...
As the signature shows, there's no sign of problems, except for the fact of ED. I knew that there were varying degree's of ED expected, and was hoping for the 24 month comeback. My experience is that...
If my Doctor first told me he spared a nerve bundle, and then changed his mind later, I'd find a new Doctor faster than he could sober up. Have a PSA test done tomorrow and if it's 0.01, hit the...
As most men have found out to their great surprise, it is not necessary to have an erection in order to achieve orgasm. It may take a little longer, but anyone who wants to test the plumbing has...
Hello Wiggyann, Happy to hear that all went well, my only advice from here on is to monitor the Vicodin closely, it loves to turn into cement. I am not a fan of pills, so I drink 2 small juice...
Wiggy, My sugeon put a REALLY strong tape over the incision. It is dry to the touch, but the bandage will probably get blood soaked before it comes off. I was told I could shower 72 hours after...
Thanks for all the advice, you guys already know how valuable you are. Not to worry Tony, Billy isn't planning on a vacation anytime soon, I just meant I wouldn't tolerate being plugged into machines...
You have had MAJOR, MAJOR surgery. 23 days out is nothing in relation to the healing that will be necessary. I helped move my house a month after surgery and ended up with a hernia. I know it's...
Gene, If I won't consider a tiny little needle anywhere near my winky, the chances of allowing a Dr. to slice him open and stick a tube in is NILL. Billy is WAY TOO MUCH of a CS (Think chickens) to...
I went for my one year check-up last week, and all is fine and dandy except for ED. Junior hasn't risen to the occasion since the night before surgery, and that's with the pump, Cialis and Viagra...
I had never heard about gluing people back together either. He surprised me after the surgery, I never thought to ask before it how he was going to close. To me, the difference between the staple...
Wiggyann, I went under General, but I would probably do that for a stubbed toe. I simply don't want to be involved. Other than the swelling, which was the size of a neff football, I had no problems,...
Sorry for offending you Ohio, but if my Dr. suggested I waited until he saw "A significant rise" in my PSa before doing anything, I'd be walking to another Dr. REAL FAST....
I hope I'm not out of line, but if I had your signature, I would be pressing my Doctor for more aggressive treatment. Testosterone feeds PCa, I would ask the Doctor to start me on hormones TODAY....
Hello Wiggyann, I had an RRP a year ago and got an inguinal hernia a few weeks later, my fault for lifting when I should not have. I had open surgery for the hernia about five weeks ago. I still have...
Like your husband, I received a Lupron (Hormone) shot a month before the surgery to drop my Testosterone to 0, which it did. I was told it would put me "On hold" until my surgery. I asked about...
Hello bed Buddy, I had my test just before the Hernia surgery, but I don'r know what it is yet, and don't feel all that concerned. The Dr. did a great job and I guess we caught it early. The hernia...
Greetings Frank and all, I keep tabs on the board, but rarely have brilliant comments to make, so I just watch. As for wives, when ML was having our first, she changed the oil in our station wagon...
Almost exactly a year ago, I had my RRP. Tomorrow I am in surgery for an inguinal hernia. After your surgery, your Doctor will tell you not to lift anything heavier than a half gallon of milk. Two...
Sorry for busting into this, but I received a pump through insurance. It came with the rings that were shown on the site posted. Without the pump, I don't have erections, but junior is showing some...
I too had surgery 11 month's ago and I'm still working at waking junior up. I also have a wife 15 years younger than myself, and we both stare at junior with hope in our eyes. But as was said many...
I underwent RRP on March 23, 08 My Dr. Told me to lift nothing heavier than a gallon of milk UFN. # weeks after surgery, I helped move my house "Just a little". I will be scheduling surgery for my...
Hello Tony, Happy to hear from you. Did you get the latest update on little Hanna? Concerning Junior, who on the board has had these implants? I looked at the material, and can't see myself putting...
I had my 9 month tests the other day with PSA at 0.01 which is great. For whatever reason, my testosterone after lupron and an RRP went from 0 to 312, and now to 219. My Dr. Doesn't know why the...
When I read your post, I had to smile. At 10 weeks out, I was lucky Junior even showed up for a leak let alone an erection. In March I'm coming to my 1 year anniversary of RRP, and I haven't seen any...
I had an RRP in March of this year and a month later, I had an inguinal hernia also. However, I also did not listen to my Doctor when he told me to lift NOTHING of 4 pounds. I helped move my house....
