Thanks guys, see you whenever, doubt if it will be soon. Dave...
Congratulations Ed, Great to hear the good news. Tell you what, I'll hoist a Fresca with you as I'm not a drinker either. Dave...
Congratulations, great to hear a good report. Here's to many more. Dave...
Well, haven't been here at all for a while and wasn't going to post up, but my wife says (as with another thing I'm involved in) that success stories are vital to the new folks so Hi again. I had...
Mel, Sorry to hear about the continuing climb. Can't offer much except to wish you the best in future treatments. Dave in Durango CO...
Mel, Back when this was first implemented I asked if it was OK to have a .txt file with all the history of my case and copy/paste it into posts where it might give extra clarity, help or give hope to...
Dev, I'm not clear on if the last PSA was over 0.01 or was "just" a change from <0.01 to 0.01. Just an FYI, I also was pT3b NO MX (4+4+5) and wasn't expected to have too long of a "clean" run, after...
Jerry, Sometimes labs do odd things. My hospital was bought out, the "powers that be" decided to start reporting as <0.1 instead of the old standard of <0.04, same equipment, same lab techs (the...
I tried to post this here earlier, hit "new post" instead of reply so it ended up in the general population with no subject. Our hospital policy is no test results unless you're sitting with the Dr,...
Mel, When this 400 character limit started I was an active member and asked the mod' if I could do a long format sig' for those posts that it would be helpful in. He checked with Peter and gave the...
Sonny, so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. My deepest condolences and prayers are with you. Dave...
Congrat's on the big Zero!! Dave...
Welcome to the forum Vegas42. Sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. Can't add anything to the discussion except to wish you the best possible luck in your treatment path. Dave...
A bit of back history, At my last test 3-2012 the lab I use suddenly decided to change the reporting standards from <0.04 to <0.1. This caused a bit of a furor with my Uro' and the other Drs in the...
Howdy cannuck, sorry you have to be here but you've found a good resource for gathering information. I faced the same thing at age 55 back in November of '09, my initial diagnosis was G-9 (downgraded...
Yep, the recommendations against it throw people like me under the bus just because Dr's do knee jerk over treatment in some cases. IMO the process of deciding on where to go after a jump in PSA may...
Best wishes Charles, I had open surgery a bit over 2 years ago and am glad I went that way. Take your time during recovery and don't push it. Oh and Sheldon, I thought I was the only one that loved...
Congratulations and here's to many more....
It might, if someone manufactures and sells it in generic form for a different purpose who's to keep us for using it for ED?...
No personal experience but my wife's on it, it helped her a lot. No side effects other than having to concentrate to start flow (a good thing). Before she was up multiple times a night, had urgency...
Too much information . . . . . . No, not a bad thing Too much conflicting information . . . . . . . Heck yes Sadly this disease has no clear path for treatment and a lot of conflicting studies, all...
You're still in the club, I'll have a Fresca thank you ;-) Labs have a way of messing with you. My lab which has always been <0.04 just decided to start using <0.1 as the cutoff much to the annoyance...
Funny, (odd not ha ha) I was under the impression it was the involuntary sphincter is the one removed and the voluntary one is all that's left. That's why the kegels help. Here's a wikipedia article...
Italianguy, When I got to one pad/day I tried an experiment, I stopped using the pad when I was at home for the day. Knowing in the back of my mind that I didn't have the "safety net" made a world of...
I'm sure every case is different but what I did for my wife is share my research and explain the percentages, risks etc to her as well as I could, also translating Dr speak to layman's terms. Being...
David, Just saw this and I must say you have thought this out very well. Really can't add anything to the discussion except that I hope you will reach an "agreement" with the radiation lab, hopefully...
Hi Bob, Glad you chimed in, I was wondering if you had any information on labs in that area. I was going to call San Juan Regional Med' center over in Farmington, is that the one you use?...
Congratulations Gams, here's to many more. Dave in Durango CO...
Thanks guys, I do realize how lucky I've been, and I've had a phone number for a lab that may do ultra sensitive testing about 50 miles away (Farmington NM) for a couple of days now that I haven't...
I saw my Uro' yesterday and I'm still "undetectable" However the new owners (Centura health) of the hospital/lab have switched the reporting from <0.04 to a new standard of <0.1 Not happy at all...
Congratulations Sonny and Lynn, hope you have a wonderful day!! Dave in Durango CO...
Congratulations on hitting the 2 year mark as a member of the "Zero" club! Here's hoping for many more....
Tony, A huge congratulations to you, quite a milestone, and an inspirational story. Dave in Durango CO...
I've had mechanical enhancement for years http://www.creeperjeepers.org/davesrig.htm at least that's what my wife thinks. When I got my latest set of tires for this season (35x13.5x15 BFG Krawlers)...
Congratulations on the 2 year "0"!!! Not into body building so I can't comment on the supplements other than to say if in doubt ask your Dr. Personally I'd be very conservative in taking anything...
Sephie, I did the same thing a while back for exactly the same reasons. I hope you do what I do and drop back in once in a while to help the new people. It's sad folks have to act in such a way while...
^ same here, my wife is not into pre-planning so I often end up chewing up 1/2 a blue pill (yech!!!!) and letting it soak into my mouth tissues a bit before washing it down with water. Ready to go in...
I ran into the same problem back when the 400 character limit started. I asked and received the OK to keep a .txt file (notepad) of my "full" signature. For general HW posts I have a short one and...
No single step but if you find this on the main Prostate Cancer page just down from the top on the right [b] Forum Page Listing : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 .. 543 544 545 546 [/blue] you can move through the...
David, PCa can be a wake up call resulting in good things. My wife and I decided to buy the diesel pusher we were going to get "someday" now instead of ??????. Next spring we'll start enjoying a bit...
David, My case is a little different than yours but my Dr said I could go to 6 month testing at 2 years (due to Gleason and positive margin) I wasn't comfortable with that and suggested every 4...
I'm sitting at 89 ng, that's with 2 x 2000mg pills/day and an probably above average exposure to UV. Things are going good so I see no reason to change anything....
Thanks guys, I usually drop in once a day or so to see how everyone is doing but I don't post all that much anymore. Drinks on me, and wishing the best to all of you. Dave in Durango CO...
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Sounds like he put up a heck of a fight, may he rest in peace. Dave in Durango CO...
That's great news. Stable is very good, keep doing what you're doing. Dave in Durango CO...
Here's to many more. Dave in Durango CO...
Congratulations Bob Can't think of a better reason to drop back in and post. Here's to many more. Dave in Durango CO...
Congratulation kbota. Here's to many more. Dave in Durango CO...
First off, congratulations to all the other late October "Zeros" Just got the call a few hours ago from my Dr's nurse that my 20 month test was "Zero" After playing the waiting and worrying game...
The one here in Durango was pretty tame, we went around the table and each guy gave his story and the "new guys" were able to just talk/vent/ask questions as needed. Pretty cool overall, I got to...
