Hi David: I haven't been on this site for a long time, but wanted to check in and see how things were going. I am sorry to read of your severe depression. You must do whatever is best for you - I...
Hi Guys: I wrote the other day about my friend, Tim, who had DaVinci Robotic surgery in April. His post op PSA was 0.1 which freaked me out. One of you brilliant men suggested it might be the lab...
Thanks for the feedback gentlemen. Yes I am going to the doctor's appointment with him. His PSA pre surgery was 4.something, I do not know the exact number. It was not terribly high. I have the lab...
A little history: I joined the Prostate Cancer Healing Well site in 2010 when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was 50 at diagnosis. Was doing great, no symptoms after DaVinci...
Hi Guys: For those unaware, I was on Healing Well from 2007-2013 for my husband Greg. He had a rising PSA post Da Vinci surgery and was facing radiation surgery in the future. Sadly he died suddenly...
We are in the KCMO area. My late husband received his Da Vinci surgery from the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, KS. Any input from you guys is welcome - thanks!!!...
Hello Guys: Thanks for the input on my friend avoiding surgery for AS. I've told him I have received some new information that is worth reviewing before he goes ahead with surgery. Here is the...
Thanks for the comments guys, but I guess I want to clear a few things up. My new friend has the same biopsy report that my late husband had. 2 positive cores out of 12. One on each side of the...
Hello Healing Well Friends: I posted from 2007 to 2013 when my husband, Greg, had prostate cancer. Sadly Greg died of a sudden heart attack about 2 years ago. He was still in the zero club, but his...
Holy Cannoli David! I check in here every six months or so to see how you are doing. I admire your decision to find other things to do, but I so appreciate all the kindness and advice you (and...
Dear David: I just popped on to wish you well - I haven't been on this site for months, but always liked to check on you when I did. Sadly I was coming on here today to give this site to yet another...
Thank you to all who have posted such kind messages of support to me. As some of you have said - sudden death is so shocking when you are expecting prostate cancer to be the problem. I am glad Greg...
Hello Friends: In late May Greg would be having his PSA test and I would be posting his results. He was hanging in the zero club by his toenails as his PSA continued to rise very slowly. We knew...
Dear Silverlace: I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your entire family....
Dear Worried: I am sorry you are faced with more concerns after the diagnosis and surgery. Those blasted PSA tests are very worrisome - we had prayed we would be free of medical personnel after the...
David: Sorry to hear your wife is having health issues, too. I hope you two are able to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal brought by family. My thoughts and prayers are with you both....
The Mr. had his six month PSA check today. In May it was .08. Today is was .09. We go back in six more months. We are grateful we are still in the zero club. He had surgery 5 years ago this week....
So glad you found a successful treatment. Congratulations to you and your wife. Have FUN!...
Congrats on the zero club! I'll have a white wine please!...
Congratulations! Continued good health!...
Yes I am enjoying all that ice cream. I started eating healthy, working out 5-6 times a week, checking in with a dietician weekly October 1. I've lost 35 pounds and am nearly at goal. All the ice...
Hi Guys: Just came back from the urologist. MrGFM's PSA did another slow rise from 0.06 in November 2011 to 0.08. We discussed that radiation therapy is in his future. Not if - when. Not the outcome...
Great news! Thanks for sharing!...
Great news!...
Excellent news!...
Mr. GFM had his 6 month PSA today. A very slight rise from 0.05 to 0.06. The Since he is 4 years post op (this week) the Dr. thinks it might be a little bit of prostate tissue left in that is causing...
That is incredibly cool! What an honor to be asked....
Blast, dang and TARNATION! Geez David I certainly hope they find out it is anything but mets. Wishing you well!...
I'm doing Weight Watchers, too. We have a family wedding in September and that was a great motivator. Plus, I'm not getting any younger, and as the old saying goes: "Move it or lose it". I have also...
I like the way you think!...
Susan - I'm a migrainer, too. Hmmmmm, I wonder if this is all connected. LOL!...
Joey - here is a reminder for YOU. PCA is familial. Since your dad has it, you will need to be checked for it earlier than most men. At 21 you are far too young to have to worry about it, but...
Hi BeCalm. I'm another wife on this forum. My husband was diagnosed at age 50 and had NO symptoms. He doesn't talk about it, either. We've had cousins call with all kinds of symptoms, they were fine....
Excellent news!!!...
Yee Hah! Great post and great news! Thanks for sharing!...
Wonderful news! It's glad to read something so positive and joyful on this site. Post a photo or at least give us some descriptions!...
Great news! Congratulations!!!...
So glad you found someone you trust and can communicate well with. I lurk a lot, don't usually post much, but I think of you often and wish you well. You are always so supportive to the rest of us....
Good luck - we'll be waiting to hear how it goes....
Excellent news! Thanks for sharing!...
My husband's PSA was 2.26 when he was diagnosed at age 50. Get a biopsy and know for sure. If it's OK - you'll be greatly relieved. If it's not - you can start treatment as needed....
Thanks for the kind comments....
I think you might have saved his life. You did the right thing!...
In January Mr. GFM had a slight rise in his PSA from .04 to .05. The Dr. asked to see him again in 4 months. We got the results today, still at .05. So glad - but geez I feel drained. Even though I...
So glad you got good news today. Hopefully a good ortho will help get your hip free of pain. Take care!...
Viper - ask the physician for a copy of your biopsy pathology report and the surgical pathology report. It helps to have this stuff in your possession. When you are in the doctor's office talking it...
Sending prayers your way!...
Glad you are free from your tag along "friend" of 15 days. My husband said it stung sharply when his catheter was removed. Sounds like you are doing very well, so glad you are on the road to recovery!...
Great news! So glad everything is going so well!...
