Mark: Celestia is great, another is Bruce Montgomery he's involved in numerous clinical trials and has a great bedside manner. Good luck David...
Tinkerbell: I was treated by Dattoli in late 2012, I live just outside of Seattle so you can imagine it was quite a trip. My experience was excellent, he's as good as they get. Good luck David...
J.R. A couple of more things, my treatments were over 2 years ago and I haven't bled since. Most of the people I was "diving" with were in for wound or burn treatment one even had just completed...
J.R.: I had 40 hyperbaric treatments for the exact same issue. I was treated at Virginia Mason in Seattle which is one of only 4 sites in the U.S. that have a chamber big enough to hold 8 patients...
SC: It's great to hear the AUS is working great. Good luck David...
SC: I forgot to mention this but it may be something you want to discuss with your Doc, in fact I'm a little surprised he didn't mention it to you. Virginia Mason has a hyperbaric chamber( I believe...
SC: I have a lot of the same issues that you do, interestingly enough I started at Virginia Mason but had numerous problems with them so I switched to Harborview and Volzke. It seems almost like a...
SC: Did you end up using Dr. Volzke? Congratulations on the dryness!!!! David...
Tallguy: Dr. Volzke in Seattle is one of the best, he's out of Harborview Hospital and the University of Washington. Good luck David...
psaayten: I originally went to Virginia Mason for the implant but switched to Harborview and Dr. Volzke, I just didn't like the way things were handled at Virginia Mason. Dr. Volzke was great and is...
SC: You're in great hands with Dr. V, he's a Baylor undergrad and a little touchy about their recent issues(football). I went to O.U. so we're sworn enemies but have a great relationship. Rib him a...
TV: I had an AUS installed a couple of years ago and it has been working great up to this point. Obviously everyone is different but I have heard the average shelf life for an AUS is between 7 and 10...
SC: For some reason I thought you were a Rocky Top guy. A Tennessee Volunteer fan and a resident of Tennessee. David...
SC: You're in great hands with Dr. Wessell, he's as good as it gets. I'd try and hook up with you while you're in Seattle but I'm down in Arizona until April. Good luck David...
SC: Who's the Doc. you're seeing in Seattle? I had my AUS installed by Dr. Volzke at Harborview. It's been a pretty good ride for me, very little dripping and I can do just about anything. Good Luck...
NY-Sooner: Congratulations!!!!!! Boomer ? David...
That's me, a day late and a dollar short. Sorry about the re-post. David...

I just received my latest P.S.A. test results and I'm still rolling undetectable. I'm a very lucky person: My story really quickly: I had a prostatectomy at U.W. in June 09 after being biopsied as a...
Allen: First of all, I try to read all of your posts without a doubt you are one of the most educated individuals on this forum. Thank You for all of the info. you provide us. I believe the Feraheme...
Bob: It's good to hear you are doing well after your treatment. When I was in Sarasota it seemed that everyone on Medicare had no issues with insurance but being a young guy (lol) I had to fight like...
Why: Fairwind brings up a really good point, as has been pointed out this is a little out of the box and your dad should be sure and contact the insurance company so there are no surprises down the...
Why: I saw Dattoli a little over 3 years ago after I had already completed surgery and salvage radiation. It was my last best shot I believed after talking to him. I didn't have wide spread mets but...
jliggett69: I was seen by Dattoli after ART had failed, he sent me to Sand Lake for the ferahemme and saw two aortic lymph nodes that he radiated, since then I've been undetectable (a little over 2...
Mine was from ART also. David...
Tony: I completed 40 treatments last year for bleeding caused by a bladder neck constricture. I haven't bled since the treatments, I saw some great results also for people who were in for wound care...
jpenn: Thank you for the support, you're in a tough fight and just taking the time to respond means a lot to me. I wish you the best. David...
I just received my blood work results and I'm still showing as undetectable. It's basically a miracle in some ways, I had DaVinci surgery in 2008 and reoccured immediately, then I had SRT and...
Howard: Yes, my bladder neck issue was caused by SRT although some individuals have problems caused by surgery. It can be a crap shoot on SE's with any treatment. Good luck David...
JRNY: After 142 posted it reminded me that I had eye sight problems also, particularly at night. It's so common that Virginia Mason sold cheap sets of eyeglasses that adjusted so your eye sight at...
JRNY: I did 40 hyperbaric treatments a little over a year ago and had great success with it. I was bleeding substantially from some bladder neck issues caused by SRT prior to the treatments and...
James: Here is one of the leading authorities in the world on urethral strictures, Dr. Joel Gedman. His mantra is "if you've had the stricture dialated once and it comes back you need reconstructive...
James: I actually spoke with Dr. Gelman on the phone at one point, he does surgery on both urethral strictures and bladder neck strictures. Mine was a bladder neck issue. Dr Gelman is one of the true...
Fellas: Here's something to consider, some uro's are going away from suggesting self-cathing, they believe it does more harm than good. Here's some info. if you have a reoccurring stricture. I...
Greg: I'm sorry to hear about your issue, I was wondering how you were doing. I hope things work out well for you, I believe it was 2 years ago that we were sitting around a table discussing PCa....
I'm a very lucky guy, I just received my results and I'm still rolling 0's on the PSA. I'm one of the guys who went to Dattoli/Bravo for the feraheme scan and radiation afterwards. I had already had...
Jerry: Up to this point, a little over 2 years later my PSA is undetectable. Obviously I was on ADT 3 for a little under 1 year of that time, yes they hit everything they could find. David...
Bob: I just now had the chance to read your response, the upside to your journey is now you're in the hands of a real expert in my opinion. When I went through the "Datolli experience" they were...
Bob: The atmosphere at Dattoli's is outstanding, I found that some of the patients I was getting radiated with were as knowledgeable about prostate cancer as some of the Doc's I've seen and that's...
Bob: Good luck and be sure to eat at one of the Amish restraunts, they have a large area in Sarasota and they have great food. David...
Alan: I had an issue like you, I did a lot of education and actually found some information that you might want to look at. Here's a link: https://www.centerforreconstructiveurology.org/ I spoke to...
After reading what I posted above I believe it may appear that I had more radiation to an area where I had already had radiation at. That is not the deal, my target field with Dattoli was in a...
Bob: Thanx for the info. It's a little surprising that Dattoli hasn't taken the time to explain to you where he believes the cancer still is, he was very open with me about it. I had full pelvic...
Bob: Of course you know I have. It sounds like you saw Bravo and Dattoli, if you did what type of scan are they now doing at Sand Lake? David...
Bob: Keep us informed on how things go for you. Your last message is a little broken, are you going to Sand Lake and what type of scan are you having, are you receiving treatment from Dattoli ? David...
Bob: I agree with you, Dattoli undoubtedly knows his stuff. I actually had a fair amount of in-depth discussions with him when I was receiving treatment. With that said if you can get the feraheme...
Mel: I don't believe so, when I went to Sarasota SBRT was just a twinkle in the eye of most of the Rad Docs. ( just kidding but it wasn't very well known at the time.) Dattoli does something he calls...
Bob: I don't particularly agree with the individuals who say everything from here on out is pallative, the fact that the C-11 scan didn't show anything doesn't really surprise me, your PSA was .4...
Greg: It's great to hear that you're hanging tough. Those Dattoli mornings were really enjoyable other than the zapping. Have you kept in touch with Jim or any of the other members of the group ?...
JNF: Do you take Avodart ? It helps increase your testosterone but decreases your dihydrotetosterone I believe. I was lucky that my testosterone bounced back so fast, I thought one of the causes has...
