Ausboy, I was wondering if I brought it on myself by over doing things. As I cut the lawn, and messed around in the garden, bending down pulling weeds. It did seem to hurt more after that. I'll take...
I've had the cath out about 5 days. Basically dry at night, and 1 or 2 pads during the day. However, I have pain that didn't start until after the cath was removed. My penis hurts, along with my...
John, Glad you made it through surgery okay. Keep the rubber snake cleaned and lubed at the head, and it's not too bad. I still get nauses if I walk too far, but getting better. Hopefully, my cath...
Thanks for the quick replies....
I'm not having a problem with it, I'm back to my morning bowel movement as normal. It's the pain. It's like your colen swells from the waste inside and puts pressure on the area where the prostate...
Surgery went well, came home the next day. Not taking any pain pills, but gas pains are killing me. What do bladder spasims feel like? Passing some gas, but not when I need to most. Guess you could...
HD-Rider, Just wanting to wish you well, Good Luck....
Tom, Thanks for the positive reply, just what I need this morning, as I'm headed to the hospital for my procedure this morning. Hopefully I'll be posting my thoughts tomorrow....
HD, mine is scheduled 2 days prior to yours. I'm kinda scared and worried also. I've been through lower back and neck surgery, and wasn't this scared. However, I was in great pain prior to those...
Don't know if it was age or an early warning sign, but I had the same symptoms....
Sephie, Yes, it's a hypothetical question. I'm trying to understand how or what causes you to have a PSA reading, after a complete removal of the prostate....
So, it's the prostate cancer cells that produce the prostate specific antigen, and not the prostate itself?...
You have PC, so you have your prostate removed completely. Lets say one year later your PSA is 1.5 This is an indication that the cancer has returned, correct? However, if your prostate is removed,...
A friend of mine with PC told me about this place. He buys his from them, with no problem, and says he can't tell the difference. http://www.blueskydrugs.com/Product/Viagra...
Viperguy, I wish you all the best tomorrow, and will be thinking of you. I look forward to hearing from you in a few days, as to how your doing. Good Luck....
I'm 95% sure I'm going with the Davinci nerve sparing RP, ounce I find a urologist I'm comfortable with. Now for my time frame situation. I work road construction, laid off right now, but heading...
John T. The reason my doctor suggested a biopsy, is because my younger brother was diagnosed with PC, about 1 year ago, at age 50, with a GS of 8, and being Stage 4....
This is from the National Cancer Institude: The study was not a randomized clinical trial. Rather, the researchers used billing and diagnostic data from NCI's SEER-Medicare database, identifying...
To be honest with everyone and myself, part of me wants to do the watchful waiting, and part of me wants it removed. I don't know if the color doppler or MRI tests would give me a little more info to...
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I was going to use a Dr. Wood at U of M, but he's not in my insurance network. I'm in the Grand Rapids, MI. area, and looking at a Dr. Maatman. It is so hard to get...
Been lurking for a few days now. Thought I'd say hi. The main reason my Urologist did a biopsy on my slightly enlarged prostate, is because my younger brother was diagnosed a year ago at Gleason 8,...
