Awesome! I will check out The Thieves on Facebook! It's great that he has been able to parlay his love for music into part of his livelyhood. If he's doing wood working, he REALLY needs to be careful...
Sleepless... No tournaments for me. I do love going after small mouth when I can find 'em on the St. Lawrence, but fishing to some degree is a good excuse to just enjoy being out on the water. So...
Purgatory... BOTH! I am a musician who regularly menaces smallmouth. So it kinda fits....
I've been reading the forum and not posting so much as my "cancer journey" over the past 6 months has taken some interesting and confusing turns. Some very brave guys here, up against some very tough...
Thanks everyone for your feedback. My stats indeed make me feel like a period of AS might be realistic. However, I've yet to connect with a medical professional who would support it. That may just be...
I thought I would just share a bit for anyone who is just starting out on the PCa 'Journey' (i'm kinda tired of hearing that, but it is accurate) Six months after being diagnosed I am still a bit...
Wow... the board bleeped one of my words. Those of you who know the skit know the word. You could say it on TV in 1976, but not here! Interesting! Probably a good policy to keep things civil. :)...
Zufus, Yes... I have tried to base my life on the that SNL skit. That in combination with another great Dan Akroyd skit... Fred Garvin: Male **********! "Now little lady, we can get down to business...
Maybe some of you already know this. There is a clinical study going on comparing HIFU to Cryo going on in the US. I am interested in at least exploring HIFU. I spoke to a representative yesterday...
So... Since my last post two things have happened. With my conflicting pathology reports (2+3=5 from uro and 3+3=6 from MSKCC) on the advice of one of the posters here (sorry I forget who), I...
Casey, Thanks for getting the URL in on that podcast. I found it on iTunes so watched it there. A great piece. I would highly recommend this to anyone facing PCa....
Hey Jim... No real advice here... But I thought I would chime in. Your situation is darn close to mine. Sounds like your concerns are similar as well. 49 with 3 + 3 = 6. I had conflicting gleason...
Franchot, Thanks for chiming in. I am considering setting up a color doppler and/or an MRI. MMSK recommended the MRI if I am considering surgery and they will do it for me. I will inquire about the...
Got it....
Compiler thanks... I will try reaching out to Jon Epstein. If I mention you will I get a free throat culture or something? LOL Landed... Thanks and the best if everything to you as well. Dave... Jan....
Hi Landed... Well it's great that you are doing so well overall. That is something to be very thankful for. If I were you, I would not look back and I would not have any regret. If surgery seemed...
As someone who is going through the treatment selection stage right now, I would agree with title of this thread. And generally it is not surprising. I think what is important though is that anyone...
OK... new day, new insights, new plan of action. I think the first course of action for me is to reconcile the discrepancy between my physicians pathology report and the MMSK pathology report. In...
Thanks Eggbe. I did stop by yananow. A good resource.......
Hey Mike... Thanks. Your situation does resemble mine quite a bit. There have been a number of good contacts provided in this thread that I am going to reach out to for more info. Good to hear you...
Tudpock, Thanks. I appreciate your chiming in! I think hearing from others who have made the journey is very helpful and important ingredient to making an informed decision. I don't think I would be...
Hey Jim... Hey Paul. Can do. Maybe something in the water?...
I can't thank everyone enough for all the responses. It seems the recurring theme here is 'don't rush if you don't have to' and 'make sure you are completely comfortable with what you choose'. I...
Jerry, Thanks for your response. Being relaxed does help one to be a bit more practical. So I appreciate the advice! When Sloan Kettering got my slides which had been evaluated at my urologists lab...
Well, like everyone else, I did not see this coming. Went through all the stages, denial, anger etc. 49 and never been sick a day in my life. Blood tests always fabulous my whole life until the...
