On the ED, I was about 9 months post surgery when I gave injections a try. I only did them a few times, but they seemed to awaken some of the nerve cells as things remained better after I stopped the...
Have you seen the lab report with your own eyes? My first thought is they didn't do an ultrasensitive test and the result is <.1, and it was misreported to your husband....
Your father is a fortunate man in having such a loving daughter. Be kind to yourself....
no good deed goes unpunished...
That sure is a low number....
I'm sorry for your loss. Dave...
It took a year and a lot of patience for me....
Congratulations.Be sure to get a copy of the written pathology report....
I don't think the doctor was wrong in asking his nurse to call you. The information you need was delivered to you. I would have preferred to receive my news by telephone. I even asked the...
If the duration of your visit is limited, you can be of the most help by being there in person following the surgery....
I have found that a small piece of a viagra pill does wonders for me. about 1/4 or 1/3 of a pill. It takes about 10 minutes to take effect, and it is very important to be sure to take it on an empty...
I'd ask for a copy of the report.It may say <.01 and whoever interpreted the score didn't understand the importance of the <. I had such an experience with my doctor's office....
Do a google search for generic products.Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions. The forum restricts me from saying more. Dave...
I didn't experience that kind of pain or sensation. Other than some type of UTI, not sure what it would be. My doctor gave me a prescription for antibiotics when the catheter was removed. Did you...
I think the fact that your PSA doesn't have an upward trend is great news. I was a G6 also, but my psa doubling time was a bit alarming, so I had it treated. I totally agree with AS if that is the...
I'm glad you found the forum. What were the dates and numbers on your previous PSA tests? Dave...
I too understand the dilemma.It is not black and white. I wish there was a way other than editing, but I don't know what that would be. Dave...
The problem could forever be resolved by banning any member that is compelled to announce to the forum that they are going to quit the forum because they don't like something about the forum. Either...
My follow-up was done by my local urologist. I only made one trip to Henry Ford Hospital. I met Dr. Menon the afternoon prior to the day of surgery, had the surgery, stayed a week, then I met with...
Citrucel three times a day has worked well for me when I've been on pain medication. It's a citus flavored powder that is mixed in a glass of water. It actually tastes good. Dave...
I had robotic surgery with Dr. Menon back in 2006. I highly recommend him and their program at Henry Ford Hospital. I flew up from Florida for the surgery. It was well worth the inconvenience of the...
I cannot ejaculate. Ability to obtain and maintain an erection is diminished, but it works, usually. Before RP it was automatic. Now the planets have to be properly aligned. Some incontinence when I...
I frequently ate broccolli for years prior to being diagnosed.I cursed it for years after my diagnosis. Now I'm back to eating it again. It's gotta have some health benefit, but for me, it sure...
I have been where you are. At 6 months, on a good day, I had a little chubbiness.At 12 months, on a good day, it worked. Listen to your wife. You are fortunate to have a wife who is there for you and...
This isn't about heaven, but it touches on the theme of this thread. Following is a link to a story about how a herd of wild elephants somehow knew of the death of the man who had saved their lives...
Thanks. Didn't see the science I was looking for. Like the last sentence of the article says, a good drug trip could replicate this guy's experience. Not sure why this gets the cover of Newsweek,...
I'm sorry, this just doesn't smell right to me. A first time poster logs on to slam a long time member and then says goodbye. Am I the only one that questions this. This is bizarre....
I'll be blunt, but it's how I feel.It's the loss of exchange of bodily fluids. It's just not the same....
Places start shutting down early on Friday's that preceed 3 day holiday weekends. Even if they don't actually close, workers are less productive. So, I wouldn't read anything into the fact that you...
Talk to a Florida lawyer who specializes in labor law. The cost of a consultation will be money well spent....
curt-yes, 1/2 of 100mg.I know it's contrary to what is recommended by doctors, but it is what I have done without adverse affect. For me, the trimix seemed to jump start things and thereafter the...
I'd try 1/2 a viagra on an empty stomach in the morning. Even if it doesn't work, it'll be fun trying....
I think it's all about statistics. The statistics seem to support the conclusion when quality of life issues are factored in....
I think the mix is too strong. You could reduce the volume of the injection or ask the uro for something much weaker....
cfree-if you haven't tried injections, I highly recommend them. It's a thin needle that doesn't have to be inserted very deeply, and it's a pretty reliable way to obtain positive results. I wasn't...
It took me a good year to get anything useable. At the 4 month mark I had nothing, so you're way ahead of where I was. "Take as needed" is pretty vague. I think the conventional wisdom is to take it...
Try having sex without having an orgasm. If the whole urine thing is a distraction, you may find that sex is more enjoyable for everyone if you take that distraction off the table. My post surgery...
I agree with Bud and with your concerns.I do not understand why the urologist would be content to wait a year. I'd get a second opinion. Dave...
I'm disappointed to see another thread by a member announcing their departure, in part because they don't like the "contentiousness" of this forum. I think the moderators here do a fantastic job. I...
My orgasms have been so poor since surgery I stopped going for one duing intercourse. I think it's at least partially a psychological thing, but the experience of an orgasm just isn't the same. The...
Rocket- Yes, I have. For me, the generic provides identical results to the real thing. In fact, I still have some of the name brand pills that I'd quit taking when I first got the generic. Even...
I just received delivery of my latest order from my favorite pharmacy in India. I was impressed with the communication and timliness of the delivery. I used a one time credit card that was purchased...
As others have said, take your time in choosing a treatment and in choosing where and by whom you have the treatment. With your stats, you've got plenty of time. I understand your rationale for...
I think I would've preferred to get the results over the phone. I had to schedule an appointment to get the results of my biopsy. That meant an anxious wait of several days and then another wait in...
Can I get an erection unaided? Sometimes Can I get an erection using a pump or similar device, if so what? No, not with a "device". Can I get an erection using tablets, if so which? Yes, Viagra Can I...
With a clear digital exam and a psa o .97, I think a biopsy would be a waste of time and money. I don't think you have PCa. If you do, the odds of a biopsy finding the tumor are remote. And even if...
FWIW, I doubt my gp would've realized a .16 psa result was not good news. First, they have to actually look at it on the results page that contains a bunch of numbers. Second, it's not going to be...
It doesn't mean the cancer was not contained in the prostate. It could be that some tissue was left behind, it could be an erroneous reading, or, as you said, it may be that the psa will not rise...
