Two thumbs up on your decision to go Paleo. I have been living Paleo since 2011. It is the way I was able to lose the 45 pounds I put on over the last 15 years (25 of those pounds directly a result...
Tony, I want to take just a minute here to say thank you for your sage advice back in 2009 that helped me make the decision to do Adjuvant HT and RT for my stage pT3b cancer. Today I remain in a...
Hello Galileo. Thanks for the shout out. PSA test came back at <0.01, undetectable. Testosterone level is 272, on the low side of the normal range. This is at 4 years post-diagnosis, 3.5 years...
Congrats, Alf! I'd suggest Bangers and Mash along with a pint of Adnam's. I'm biting my nails tonight waiting for tomorrow's 4-year post-diagnosis psa result. If I do as well as you, I will...
I found out yesterday afternoon that my 80 year old Sister had passed away in her sleep the night before. She had been back home one week after visiting us for 3 weeks, and in saying goodbye at the...
YES!! There is a positive aspect of going through the Lupron daze. Keep it up!! Roger...
Dear Sonny, I have been dreading the day we all knew would soon come, and your Lynn would depart this earth. Gerlinde and I extend our deepest condolences to you on your loss. Lynn is at peace today,...
Opa is the name given in Germany by children to their Grandfather. I met and married my beautiful wife in Germany some 47 years ago. We have five grand children, who call her Omi. So, I am Opa. N is...
Hello Eaglekeeper, I was also T3b and G6 (downgraded from G4+3), and I had a post-rrp psa of <0.01. MY decision, after much soul-searching, was to go adjuvant HT and RT. Did 8 months of Lupron and 64...
Very Good News, indeed Bud!! That large crowd noise cheer coming out of Raleigh is for you. You have gotten the beast's attention, and have reined him in. Keep it up! Your GFMPH buddie. Roger :cool:...
I am in the New Orleans airport, waiting for Skate's plane to land. Just had my first Po'Boy, bacon and egg. And, the pork butts made it through TSA. Let's eat! Roger...
Terry, This video was actually shot last April at Cajun Jeff's. I had to view it several times, but I was able to identify Worried Guy Jeff, TC-Las Vegas, Living 1963, Jazzman 1, and Cajun Jeff's...
There was a super secret video made of the last GFMPH get together, which I share with you here. There should be no problem figuring out who Worried Guy is!! :nono: http://youtu.be/BKZqGJONH68 Enjoy....
I'll be bringing the pork in my backpack, not shoved in my pants. BTW, Terry, I checked my signature, and realized that on Friday it will be three years to the day that I had my biopsy done,...
I, too, have been on the sidelines enjoying the workup to GFMPH, LA style. I wanted to offer a Carolina contribution to the gathering, so I am pleased to announce that with Jeff and Pat's help...
I have been taking a low-dose (81 mg) aspirin daily since 1998, under supervision of my cardiologist. Aspirin reduces inflammation in the blood vessels, and thus helps to lessen deposits of...
Keeping my fingers crossed for you on the psa test. You know why. Roger...
Congratulations, Tony, on your milestone. Thank you, also, for the help you gave to me when I was confused, angry, and scared about my own T3B diagnosis. You talked me through all my options, and...
Hi Sonny, One size XL for me please. Roger...
I first read about angiogenesis in the book "AntiCancer, A New Way of Life", by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. He gave a number of food items that can help inhibit angiogenesis, but I didn't really...
Peace be with you both. Roger...
OK. I'm a Gator. Watched Tim Tebow win two National Championships, One Heisman Trophy. Saw his very first play as a Bronco where he ran over two linebackers, knocking one out, and scored a TD. I...
Jeff, you are THE MAN!! Must be the slosh pipes!! Roger...
I had been on several BP medications for over 12 years when I started on Lupron. We had to closely monitor my BP (bought a cuff, took daily readings and recorded). I had a couple of additional BP...
Congratulations, Tony. You have been a big inspiration to me, and I will always appreciate your sage advice as I faced my own T3B decisions. Keep it up. Roger...
Ed, I think Purgatory was right on the mark when he said you have stuck to what works for you, and it is working. I myself am down 37 lbs, from 233 to 196 since May 2 when I began following The...
What is surprising to me on reading this is the low psa level that triggers the whole algorithm and that they consider to be abnormal. When I get my psa results back the reference range is shown to...
And I'll wager that 100% of men with prostrate cancer drink at least 1 glass of water a day! Coincidence? or Cause!...
Allen, the main difference between your current diet and that of don826, as I read it, is that you are eating whole grains, and he is not. I recommend you read a book titled "Anti Cancer, a new way...
I had my 2-year post-op appointment with my Uro today, and learned that my psa remains at <0.01, undetectable. This was my first 6 month psa test interval, and I kind of freaked out last week when I...
At the time of my first Lupron shot in October 2009 I was already dealing with 25 pounds of insidious weight gain, thanks to following a “heart-healthy” diet as recommended by the AHA and my...
Here's some more food for thought about exercise and cancer, taken from www.Marksdailyapple.com. "Having greater muscle mass also acts as metabolic reserve in times of trauma. I’m not talking about...
Congratulations Neal, my NC PCa brother! You are just fabulous! Roger...
Let's see:Orange juice and vodka is called a screwdriver. I've heard prune juice and vodka called a piledriver. So, pom juice and vodka would be a pokedriver? Or? Roger...
Thanks, everyone, for your kind expressions. This latest result to me vindicates my decision to treat this disease early and aggressively. Although I know better than to use the cure word, I do...
I turned 69 yesterday, and am 18 months post-op. My Uro's office just called to give me my present. PSA test result is <0.01, undetectable, and my T level is 259. Six months ago it was 17...
Neal didn't post this, but he was at the hospital with him when he went in, and stayed with his family while they waited. He will see him tomorrow morning, and hopefully I will join him in welcoming...
Jeff, Gerlinde and I plan to come. We'll fly in to NOLA and rent a car to get to BR. We also plan to spend an extra day or 2 in The Quarter. Got to get a Mufaletta fix, as well as an oyster PoBoy,...
Hmmm, I finished up my 8 months of Lupron on 6/30/10. I had cataract surgery on 8/6/10. But ... I see better now than I have for the last 20 years. Gained plenty of weight, but not obese, and no...
Apacker, Remember, .04 is less than 0.1, so your result was good. The new place used the ultra-sensitive test, which carries out to 2 decimal places. Congratulations on the zero, and Happy New Year....
Sorry Subic, My rad onco told me that there was a good chance that I would experience "mucous" following the radiation. Suggest you start wearing panty liners. They keep me from washing out my shorts...
Congratulations, Bronson, on the successes, both for the raising awareness and the funds your work generated. I've seen some of your work on your website, and believe whatever you donated should have...
Sign me up for next April in Louisiana. Sorry I couldn't make it up to NY. Roger...
David - All the best. Roger...
F8 Last Lupron injection was on 3/1/10. A 30 mg, 4 month dose. June 30 was the technical wear-off date, although hot flashes lingered until August. Roger...
Fairwind, Let's see. The lows started with the Uro snapping on a glove, handing me a roll of toilet paper, and telling me to bend over. They ended today with the same Uro shaking my hand, giving me...
Thanks Tony, I worry about the T level. If it comes up, am I feeding any latent critters, but will I ever want to stop watching HGTV? At least it's not Project Runway! Roger...
Sorry Mel, I should have posted under your thread. Got a Zero today (<0.01, undetectable), 1 year post-op. Roger...
This has been a tough year, as I'm sure you all can relate. DaVinci surger on 8/27/09,(with a pT3b path report), followed by beginning 8 months of HT in October '09, then 32 IMRT treatments starting...
The Rad Onco billed out my 32 treatments at about $3,000 per to BCBS. My out of pocket was $0. My Medicare Advantage plan administered by BCBS covered 100% of the RT, planning etc included. Roger...
