My 38 SRT treatments are completed. The radiation cancer staff said that I would get used to not pulling my pants down everyday at 0920. They gave me a Certificate of Achievement that I will probably...
Thank you for sharing Peter's experience. Yes, my Radiation Oncologist said that what Peter experienced might be similar to what I might expect but he was reluctant to predict that since everyone is...
Thanks for your comments. Very knowledgeable and based on related experience with SRT. The comments on the positive margins were also encouraging. I had my 5th treatment this morning and my RO said...
After about three years out from surgery, my PSA readings started to increase rapidly in 2012. After discussion with my urologist and my radiation oncologist, it was decided that radiation was the...
Happy belated birthday Tony! I lurk around this forum and it has been a great inspiration to me and especially the advice that you and others provide to help everyone here. My experience with testing...
My latest PSA testing continues to show a slowly increasing PSA result. This month's result was 0.045. I found a internet site to calculate doubling time and the result was 13.54 months All the tests...
I had 4 biopsies over a 10 year period starting in 1998. The last one in 2008 tested positive for PC. But over the years, my urologist was convinced that I had cancer but that the biopsy needles just...
ADC is on Facebook and over the last few months there was lots of discussion on fraudulent charges. They say all of that is fixed now. I cut this from Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alldaychemist2...
Ed, I wish you and your wife the best with her upcoming surgery. John...
I expect to get an order as early as today. Detailed Results: Processed through Sort Facility, June 19, 2011, 10:54 pm, AUSTIN, TX 78710 Inbound International Arrival, June 18, 2011, 1:21 pm, ISC NEW...
Ed, As others have said, reply to their email that it is for use out of the country. I just returned from a long trip to South America. Maybe get some travel brochures.... As far as cutting it up, my...
Great news. I also had very high PSA before surgery but now I am still in the zero club after one year. ED is still a problem although there is a little response (maybe 50%) with tadalafil. John...
David, sorry to hear your saga continues but am glad that the pain is somewhat less. Hopefully, your doctors will get the remaining problems under control soon....
Ed, My current urologist and surgeon was Dr. Shaw. Dr. Fagin was recommended to me also. John...
We have been traveling on about the same road. My follow up was on December 22, 2008. I was not surprised about the PCa since I had been doing biopsies for years and had very high PSA numbers for the...
The biopsy is a way to detect cancer but it often doesn't detect it. As several have said here, it sometimes takes multiple biopsies over years before the biopsy finds cancer. I had very high PSA...
They have modified the web site. One thing that changed is they lost the order history. I think some of the products have changed also but I am not sure. I sent them an inquiry and this is what they...
JohnT is right. This is very scary. Some of us had many biopsies over several years (about 10 years for me) that were negative but I probably already had PC for years that was not detected and...
Larry, As you see from my information below, I also had a positive margin 1-2mm and the same Gleason and my Surgeon said that was very small. He compared it to trying to round up a hive of bees and...
Great news. All of the best to you. John...
David, I have followed your long saga with concern but I continue to be impressed with your always positive attitude. I pray that you come through this procedure successfully as well as through the...
Thanks all, I lurk here almost every day and know what an awful disease this is. There always seems to be something bad waiting to jump out at us as we all see in the other posts. So I was very happy...
My urologist/surgeon had to reschedule my second recall appointment until the end of August but I already had done the lab work so the nurse shared my new PSA number with me on the phone. It was...
Hi dsdmike, Every urologist you are likely to see will want to do a biopsy since it is an easy procedure and it usually reveals PC if it is there. That was not my experience however since I did...
I have had a similar experience. I gained a lot of knowledge here relating to my surgery, catheters, pads, ED drugs, etc. Thank you all for that. When I finished with the pads and got my first 0...
Email. This is my email: Hi, I choose OPTION ONE - not for consumption in the USA....
I ordered their version of Cialis (tadalafil) and they sent me email with options like not to be consumed in the US. I replied by email that it would not be consumed in the US (I am planning a trip...
David, I was sorry to read your post. I have been reading all of your posts since about December and they are an inspiration to me and many others. I don't have any new suggestions but I would agree...
Jon Everyone is different. I had very high PSA readings for years and went through several biopies. All but the last one in December 2008 was negative. I asked my urologist why the high PSA and no...
Ed, my surgeon was Dr. Shaw at Austin Diagnostic Clinic. See this link: http://www.adclinic.com/Doctors_Specialties_Maps/Doctors/KShaw.htm and...
I wish you the best on your PSA results. I was probably as concerned as you about my results since my surgery. I got my first results yesterday and thankfully they were zero. I also live in Austin....
Good news for me today. My first PSA after surgery was 0.01, the lowest the equipment can measure. My surgeon says we have to keep watching this every 3-4 months for the next couple of years. My...
Thanks everyone. Last night I took the advice I found here and slept on my back only. I didn’t drink any liquids after dinner. I did get up 4 times to go to the bathroom but my pad was still almost...
Hi, I have been a Lurker here for a couple of months and learned a lot from this great forum. Thank you all! I am trying to get continence back but it is a problem especially at night. I am using...
