Also remember that you will have to state that it is for use not in the US. After I ordered (and I had put this on my order) I was asked and had to send in this. Not a problem, just a reminder. I...
Congrats on getting the cath out. It really is a good feeling. Almost feels like you are set free from a ball and chain. Hope you continue to heal. Sounds as if you are on the right track....
Continued good luck to you. You have really had a battle but you have been an inspiration to many others. Your help is appreciated. We are all pulling for you....
Congrats, I had my 6 week post op in July with similar results which I posted. It is a relief. Now comes decisions on radiology. Good luck in the future, lets hope it stays that low....
I have one from Augusta Medical. It is the manual which was recommended by the rep. It is easy to pump. It seems the manual one would have a better feel as to how much vacuum you are making. To much...
Just started on the VED and trying to decide which rings to order. (MexisHome)...
Can the above penis rings be used with any VED pump?...
I have a question for experienced users. At the bottom , how do you keep unwanted body material from getting pulled inside the VED? That seems to be my only problem at this point. Thanks for any help....
Tony, Sorry to hear about your Dad. My father and Uncle have both experienced the ugly cancer word ahead of me. However, there's was not aggressive and mine was. My father (now 84) has been on...
Thanks for all the input guys. As usual, there is always decisions to be made. I have a while until I go back to the doctor, so I am trying to get as educated as I can. At least then, maybe I will...
sorry, forgot my topic. Maybe 'trying to decide secondary treatment'....
Just thinking about options for the future. I have mixed feelings for followup radiation. I had a psa of 31 and a Gleason score of 9. Had my RRP on 5/27/09. Lymph nodes were clear. My doc recommends...
Good luck. You have all of us pulling for you....
HGPINer, You should research the Budwig diet to add to your regiment. I didn't do the entire diet but did do the cottage cheese/flaxseed oil combo while waiting for surgery. My pre surgery gleason...
Thanks. Guess it sounds dumb to ask questions but this really helps me know I am not doing wrong. I am sure it will help others also. Seems to work good just new to me. The rep said that out of 500...
I only used once so far. You can certainly tell that he is inflated but can't really tell how he feels. Did not use the ring yet, just kinda a trial and error on how it works. How do you know when to...
I am getting ready to start on a VED to help my ED and for rehab (suppose to help return you (it) back to presurgery fitness). I just received my package yesterday. Tried it last night and it seemed...
The cath is the worst part of the recovery. While mine was not painfull, it eas uncomfortable, all of the time. As said earlier, I could never get comfortable. My cath after surgery had 15 ml in it....
I think anything you do to possibly help is worth it. I had a psa of 31 and a gleason of 9 before I started my regiment. I knew I only had a little over a month before my surgery but I fugured...
Thanks for all the support. This is a great site to share and to help others on....
Thanks for the info. I am 6 weeks after surgery and thinking about the VED....
I had a gleason 9 and elected to have surgery. I had my 6 week post op appointment yesterday 7/16/09 and had a psa of less than .05 so I feel pretty good. Doc still recommends radiation but I am...
My 6 week post op doctor visit went very well today. My psa was less than .05 which is what I was hoping for. He still recommends radiation because of the agressiveness of my cancer. I talked him...
If you are interested in radiation and seeding, I would check with RCOG in Georgia. I know of men that have been treated there and they were extremely pleased. I opted for surgery myself and am not...
I am glad someone has asked this. I have been wondering the same thing. Although only 6 weeks after my RRP the question has crossed my mind....
Hello, I to have rear end pain or at least discomfort. At work, I sit on a partially deflated donot. It really helps, but I still can't sit but a short while without needing to get up and move...
I have had two experiences with catheter removal. My first was after my TURP procedure. The catheter removal was the most painfull thing I had ever experienced. Then after my RRP two weeks later my...
Thanks for the article Barry. I chose surgery and it was done May 27th. In my case, I felt it was the right thing. It is encouraging to see data that supports this. I realize that it depends on so...
Congratulations donte. I go next week (on the 16th) for my 6 or 7 week appointment. I am hoping to be in the zero club. My psa was at 31 prior to surgery. I can't wait, really looking forward to it....
SUMMARY OF MY PROSTATE CANCER BATTLE I am a white male that was 53 years old in 2007 with diabetes as my main health concern. I keep the diabetes well controlled with an insulin pump and pills. First...
To answer one of the questions above about pain with the catheter. I had a TURP which required a catheter. It was painful and removing it was the most pain that I have ever experienced. After my RRP...
