It was not an everyday occurrence. My apologies if that was implied. I 'wanted' sex every day. While dating, we had sex very often. And on rare occasions, twice in a day. Ever wake up in the morning,...
FoxRun - i am 56, almost 57. This was 33 years ago, when we were dating....
no joke, no BS....
I am no expert, not even close. But a few obvious questions come to mind. (1) Did he used to be able to do things (carry the dog, walk some distances, etc.) without getting winded? (2) Is he...
Thanks all. I can understand the comment about it being "freeing'. I have been a horny dog from an early age. I almost think the wife is looking forward to the temp change, so i will stop chasing her...
I am curious (and will find out soon enough), when guys talk about desire not there, and no libido. Is it to the point where you see your wife naked and don't even have the thoughts? Or you have the...
I mention the 3 months of Lupron because i was told i would have 7 weeks of Radiation, that was preceded by approx. 2 months of Hormones, with possibly a shot overlapping the end of the radiation....
Ziggy, thanks. I should only be on Lupron for about 3 months, so hopefully effects will not be too severe. My post-op PSA (after 3 years) is still under 0.2, but they want to get it before it starts...
How about the weight gain?...
F8, love your humor, thanks. Casper, thanks also. Oh well, enjoy while i can. :-) thanks....
Hi all, I have a quick question. I am undergoing some additional treatment, 3 years after Prostatectomy. I will be having some Radiation Therapy, but i am first taking 2 months of pills...
Best wishes, and hopes/prayers for excellent results (short term and long term)....
That is the position that i am taking. I filed today. My surgeon/urologist, and my oncology/radiation doctor, both advised me that my 0.16 is not yet considered Recurrence, and the Radiation that I...
On the form that i have filled out, the "exclusion" list includes "Metastatic Cancer" but does not just list Prostate, Breast, or other specific cancers. I am assuming that I can qualify, until such...
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the input....
I have posted in prior posts that I had Radical Robotic Prostatectomy surgery in 2009, and am getting ready to have Hormone and Radiation (due to rising PSA, currently at 0.16). Hopefully, the...
I just got off the phone with one of the folks from the facility. He confirmed your recommendation, no thinking in terms of number of years. He indicated that it *is* good to consider all scenarios,...
Southern Comfort (by the way, i used to drink that back in college days, in the 70s), I have not really calculated the DT (doubling time). Per the folks at the facility where i am going, technically...
Southern Comfort. Thank you for the response. You are correct that i am allowing myself to get ahead of where i need to be, right now. First, let me answer your question. They did not do a DRE, but...
I am 56. I had surgery, Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RALP), in 2009. My margins were clear/negative. They did not take any pelvic lymph nodes. The pre-surgery biopsy was 3+4. The post...
I have had appointments with my Urologist/Surgeon, and he recommended Hormone (ADT) and then Radiation. I then met with the Oncology Radiologist. He confirmed that he would do 6 weeks of Hormone, and...
Thank you all for the recent posts. They have all been helpful. I am scheduled to "discuss" the numbers, and the possible paths forward. I will keep you posted. Thanks again....
and i found this: "Benign glands on biopsy after radical prostatectomy imply that the prostate was not removed in its entirety. It remains unknown whether and how frequently the presence of only...
I found this, but it does not really clear things up for me. Benign prostatic glands at surgical margins of radical prostatectomy specimens: frequency and associated risk factors. R Shah; N Bassily;...
Newporter, or anyone else, Can someone explain to me what "benign prostate glands" means? (what it is, how it relates to cancer, and PSA). I haven't looked at this thread in a couple of weeks, my...
I am curious, if anyone (in the forum) is an expert in pathology, if they have any thoughts on my Pathology Report above ^ thanks...
Margin status = Negative. (full information below). Directly from Pathology Report: (report is two pages long, including measurements of all portions and descriptions of all parts). Comments at end...
James. Thank you for all that you said. It was very helpful. Nice to know that someone is in, or close to my situation. I asked at UCSF "so do some people really stay at less than 0.01 (or...
Hi All, I just had a TRUS (Ultrasound) this past Friday. The Dr (considered an expert TRUS, at UCSF San Francisco) indicated that he could not see anything (no lump, mass, etc.). I asked him if that...
Bump, just curious if any other people have any thoughts or comments? thanks....
Thank you ALL for the VERY helpful posts. I will keep you posted. I just received an email from my Surgeon's office, scheduling an appt. They will be doing both, an Ultrasound, and the placement of a...
Did the SRT have any direct impacts on Incontinence or ED, or any other side effects? I never really had any incontinence (except for a very small amount of leakage for a couple of weeks after the...
Hi All, I am interested in feedback from any of you regarding my rise in PSA. Here are my stats. 10/12/2011: PSA “0.12” 7/7/2011: PSA “0.10” 1/27/2011: PSA “0.07” 10/11/2010: PSA “0.05” 7/14/2010:...
thanks, tried a new reg, and it worked. Had to use a different email address (said the first email address was in use. No duh)....
It has been almost a year since my last order with ADC. For two years, i have ordered blue pills through them, and they have been great. I tried to logon today, to get a new order, and it is not...
Congrats!...
Thank you for the updates, since my last post (Piano, Carlos, and Mikey) Thank you all, again, for comments and suggestions. I am inclined to continue to rotate between Viagra (and a couple of days...
I just spoke with the Pharmacist, and he confirmed that it is: 30 mg papaverine, and 1 mg of phentolamine. I asked his thoughts about the "4 hour" mark, and his response was stay away from it,...
so if we add as a variable, how successful the surgery and HEALING has been, then a lessor dosage may be required, from one guy to the next. if, and i do *not* know that this *is* the case, but if my...
I wonder if the first "1" is referring to this "one" prescription 1 PAPAVER/PHENTOLA 30/1/ML INJ 10 COMPO? (?=one more character after the O, that is either an M or an N). because in the middle it...
I pulled out the receipt, and this is how it reads: 1 PAPAVER/PHENTOLA 30/1/ML INJ 10 COMPO? (?=one more character after the O, that is either an M or an N). can anyone help me translate that - to...
James, Correction. I did *not* use Viagra with the Bimix. When i posted my information, i indicated that i use both, but I should have clarified that i do not combine them.I have used Viagra on...
Steve, I appreciate that you read (some of my post), and that you posted a reply. As much as I appreciate that you posted, your reply did not seem to address my questions. I *am* interested in *your*...
I have used, and had good success with the Osbon pump. I (as others have said) have combined it with Viagra. And, i agree that in the morning is best (not tired, and before eating anything, so as to...
(lest anyone suggest that i search and read before posting a new thread, I have searched and read a lot of posts and threads. My questions and concerns are very specific to the Subject Line of my...
Is there anyone out there, who has had to go to the ER, and the injection to bring it down did now work - and they had to drain the penis? I am feeling some discomfort, not major, but occasional dull...
Thanks to the many for your feedback. I am ok. It is frustrating to have gone through the trauma, after such a good initial 1-2 hours. I am (at the moment) afraid to even consider an erection, either...
Hi all. I had my first injection yesterday (.3 Bimix). It worked great in the office. We all thought that there was some lessening of affect, so i went home. (i live an hour from the surgeon's...
I have read many threads with discussion about Injections (Bimix, Trimix, etc.). I have a couple of quick questions. The first question, i have seen mixed answers on, so I will ask in this thread, to...
Jacknoon, I have found mixed results. I have found that we (my wife and I) have had to try new methods or variations in stimulation. Pre-surgery, for me, it was a no-brainer. I could see my wife, or...
