To all of you... ralph alfalfa, kw, corvetteman3, geezer99, Piano, JustJulie etc. etc.: THANK YOU! I really appreciate your input. My best friend and I have a unique relationship. He's like my...
Julie, Thanks so much for jumping in here and speaking up. This is a HUGE help. I so appreciate it. Danielle...
This is a note to Julie: Is there a way I can contact you with a question not pertinent to this thread? Someone else in this forum suggested it. Thanks so much, Danielle p.s. Or if possible, check...
Thanks everyone for all of the input. It's been very difficult getting him to look at any prostate cancer information. He says he just wants to let the disease progress and do nothing. I know that is...
Hey Everyone, Some of you may know me. I posted a few weeks ago about my best friend. Background info about us is in prior message thread:...
Thanks everyone for the additional input. I looked into U.S. clinical trials for HIFU but they seem to be all full. Maybe I'll call and pester them a little. My friend seems willing to listen to info...
Finally! I have his scores to report. We just got them today in the mail after much red tape and teeth pulling. (That's another story.) Here's what's going on: Most recent PSA: 3.13 Gleason Score:...
You guys are the best. Thank you to everyone for the heartfelt opinions and input. Hearing all angles really helps. My hope is get him in this forum soon (he finishes school this week - an advanced...
Tony/DJ: Thanks for the backstory on the robotics. rob2: No, he hasn't been given the information yet. I'm hoping to get it this next week. I understand the biopsy/PSA results will help him figure...
ZZZ, Thanks for the info. Have a good trip. --Danielle...
Hey Tudpock18, While I totally agree with you, my friend has told me to stop 'going negative' on the doctor and cut the guy some slack as we were supposed to be at the f/u visit already by now and...
ZZZ, Thanks for your response. You had said you had tons of information on the ultrasound -- since you're leaving town soon and he'll probably be coming to some conclusions before your return, would...
Hi, I'm new on this site. My S.O. (45 years old) has recently been diagnosed and does not yet know his Gleason score or PSA results. His doc said to wait for their 2nd appointment after bone & CT...
Thanks again everyone for the advice and encouragement. He's going to City of Hope sometime in the next couple of weeks for a 2nd opinion with an oncologist. Good luck to you all and I'll see you on...
Hey Everyone, Thanks for all the encouragement and offers of support. I'm sure I'll be back here again and again for information. (Hopefully later on to give back too like you are all doing now.) I...
Thanks to everyone again for the open-armed welcome and excellent advice. I'm going to pass on all the recommendations to him and hopefully get him in this forum at some point. He has a slight...
Thank you everyone for the responses so far. I have very little information (test results, specs) at this point because his doctor didn't give him any. He is 45 years old (title of posting) and had...
Hi Everyone, I've been reading the posts in this forum which are phenomenal. Just joined today because my best friend of 17 years (and my former boyfriend... I am female) has been diagnosed with...
