I think I know your "guru." His AS program is quite advanced. As I recall from a talk he gave he uses advanced imaging techniques to get a better understanding of the location of the tumor. I...
While this is true "Every man, I repeat, Every man who has had a biochemical recurrence after getting perfect zeros, passed through 0.02 on the way there. " It is also true that not every man who go...
At one time I was the PomX pills from Amazon but now have to go to the Pom people themselves. They seem to be shipping more frequently than once a month, like every 25 days or something. Where do you...
Richard If you are in Los Angeles I think you might want to contact UCLA about the active surveillance program they have. You can write [email protected]. Webpage is...
I attended a lecture last night on the active surveillance program at UCLA. Basically it involves advanced imaging and targeted biopsy to confirm that the cancer is small and non aggressive. There...
Here is what I don't understand. I would assume that if you examined the prostate of a teen age boy you would find it cancer free. So over time some of the cells became cancer. I understand that the...
I am not an expert on this but it does seem to me that you need to pick one lab and stick with it. I had LRP on 1/2/08. Initial PSA tests after the surgery were undetectable. Then I had a 0.06....
I would recommend Dr. Thomas Ahlering at UC Irvine. He was my surgeon and I was very pleased with him. There are many good ones in LA....

I had LRRP almost 4 years ago - January, 2, 2008. Dr. Ahlering at UC Irvine. I have my PSA tests done by my local family doctor's lab. The lab can not decide how to report results. All tests were...
The biopsy had me as a G6, but after the RP it was changed to a 7 (3+4). I would have been a nervous wreck if I knew I was walking around with cancer that was growing, even slowly. I may have...
How many are taking pomegranate? I am. I am in the zero club over 3 1/2 years later so that is good but I wonder if it really does any good. Thanks...
Dr. Ahlering did my surgery. He did not do the "cooling." I am very happy with my choice. Good luck....
I was diagnosed in 2007. I just wanted the cancer out of my body. I had the robotic surgery. It was not fun but it was something I could handle. I had a problem with urination before the surgery and...
I too experience PSA anxiety. Enjoy Sturgis....
Your PSA history is similar to mine. What do you think was going on with the 0.06 and 0.05 readings? Thanks PVE...
Another PSA result less than 0.1. I now have tests twice a year. For about 50 weeks a year I am fine. Then the week of test I have pains all over and am nervous. Glad to have the result. It has now...
Question What is scary to me is that your PSA was relatively low, your Gleason was low, you staging was low, yet apparently surgery was not successful. Did you have PSA tests in after the 90 day .00?...
I had robotic surgery at UC Irvine. Dr. Thomas Ahlering. He is very experienced and I would recommend him. Continue your research....
A few weeks ago I played golf with three friends who I had not seen for years. I had had robotic surgery three years prior, another friend a year prior, third guy was diagnosed and trying to figure...
K2 My advice to you would be to go slow, stay calm, and get expert advice. There is a ton of stuff on the Internet about prostate cancer and not all of it is accurate. Different people have different...
I worry for about 2 weeks before I get the test results. Not much I can do about it....
I am sorry that your husband was diagnosed. However you are fortunate that you live close to excellent doctors in Philly, and not too far from NYC and Baltimore. Also fortunate in this was caught...

My PSA was 3 +4. I did not get the percent of involvement but was less than suspected from the biopsy. I am also confused about the T 2C. I had at least 4 DRE's prior to surgery by my family doc, by...
I had LRP on 1/2/08. Gleason 3+4, T2C, negative margins. All PSA's tests until 8/09 were less than 0.04. 8/09 PSA was 0.06, taken by lab at my family doc. Surgeon says ignore anything under 0.1. PSA...
