Hey all. Been along time since I have been on so I wanted to send my hellos. My dad's is going through radiation after having his prostate removed. It has been quite painful for him actually, with a...
Just a hello to my friends here at healing well. I have not logged on in quite a while but think of you guys often. I try to visit the chat rooms on Wednesday evenings. I haven't noticed anyone in...
Glad you're back Jack. I have been looking for your post. Kinda nice your water heater goes out while you're all laid up! Now you don't have to mess with it! Ha ha! Get better! Kelli...
Talked to my dad last night for about an hour. The radiologist said the cure rate for his type of cancer is high. That is certainly what we are hoping for. If not, it sounds like it can be kept under...
Ok so I only got brief details from my mom on the phone earlier but she said the appt with the radiologist went really well. He said radiation is a go but only as a preventative measure and even if...
Nice article. I forwarded it to my dad. Thanks for the post....
Hi David, Thanks for the info. How is your body responding to the radiation (is it working or do you know that yet?) When will you know?...
Thanks for clearing that up. Let me ask you this: If the radiation is unsuccessful, then what? Have you had to do any hormone therapy? If so, how long and what were the effects? You are only 57....
Hi everyone, After reading about David's horrible day some questions arose. How come some men have catheters for so long? I thought it was just until everything healed. My dad has been blessed and...

Hey guys! Went over to my parents last night and my mom, dad, and I went to a town festival. My dad parked far away, ya know gotta get that walking on! He didn't even wear a pad! I was afraid he was...
Doting daughter, I see your father has a positive lymph node. Does this make his chances for a cure less likely? Thanks for your help and support....
David, I am curious why you only have a 40% chance of the radiation getting rid of your cancer? What is the next step if it doesn't work? I hope this isn't nosey, and please feel free to not answer....

David, This site has been wonderful. Your relationship with your daughter sounds just like mine with my dad. I am such a daddy's girl..maybe a momma's girl too ha! Just really close with both my...
Larry and Tony, Thanks for your posts. The dr. told my dad that radiation would wait until his body was healed (approx 6 months). He has not been to actually talk to the radiologist bc his surgery...
Sleepless, I cannot tell you the amount of relief I felt after reading your post. I was laying in bed after my alarm went off this morning as thought....hmm I might as well go check this and see if...
Your post brought me to tears. What an inspiration you are....
Yes, 1 positive margin (1 seminal vessel)....
Hi everyone! Thanks for responding so quickly. Here is the information I have. His psa was 7.9 and his gleeson level was 7 (3+4). He is 54 years old. He had a biopsy prior to surgery which suggested...
My dad has prostate cancer and had the robotic surgery last week. He went back in today for his follow up appt and we were expecting to hear that the cancer was all gone (it was all localized in the...
