.. Thanks for the comment/observations. That would be a real fear for those suffering from brittle bone disease.. it would be like them doing hurdles for exercise.. :nono: The issue may also be the...
.. We are being bombarded with TV ads for these vibrating platform devices.. for exercise / weight loss You know, the ones you stand on and they rock from side to side.. and the more apart your feet,...

. Thanks.. JessTac.... those little squirts are such odd events.. Right out of the blue.. I get them also and oddly, when the old pee-bag is near empty.. :-) .. ....
.. A very good friend has found that incontinance has developed after some years post RP.. I think that I recall reading mixed opinions on benefits of the SLING, and generally, that the procedure was...
.. Having watched the latest series in "The Truth About Cancer", I can only commend that series as a good reflection on all cancers.. Years ago I reported about a friend with your dilemma, and how he...
Still thinking and praying.. for you both, Di and Pete... ( and all in your positions) I can understand his anger... I spoke with a chap yesterday, Dx'ed with PC.. His specialist only offered...
Divo... How is Pete going...? We are still praying.. in Sydney .. ....
Wow - I assume you are confirming these as attributed to AO exposure.. I must find out (if one can) what the VA in Australia recognises.. My suspicion is that they just treat each case as...
Good to hear that you made some progress, David... What is the extent of VA recognition of "Agent Orange" disorders in the US.. I have known a few men who had miserable lives because of AO.. and I...
CHOICES... Initial Choices... So many make them based in such vain reasons, not understanding the consequences.. That is now behind you ... How is Pete doing.. that is the important thing now.. We...
. DIVO - Any word on Pete..! .. ....
Di.. I heard/felt EVER word you said... Oh how I do agree, and that was one of the big reasons why my BURNer-Advisor, said "NO - Surgery first - Once cooked, it's like sewing well-done steak.. You...
Good Lord.. What you have been through.. So - were you offered the option of a Radical, way back when first Dx'ed.. That history brings to mind a comment "..and the cure :skull: was worse than the...
Sorry.. did not see the question... TS - TABLE Spoon... :smilewinkgrin: @DIVO.... my (our) prayers for Pete, and courage for you both Thanks for sharing... Long ago I said this was a dark place that...
I would wait and do all I could to help via natural therapies. On Sydney radio, they run an ad for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and they talk about treating the damage done by radiation treatment......
.. Is it the case, that the SLiNG is useless.. No one has voted... so do I interpret such, as :nono: a big negative.. .. ....
. A friend has had increasing incontinence, after his RP. He has been sent back for re-education by a Physio, to get the Pelvic Floor Exercises right. The UDoc was keen to suggest "The Sling".. He is...
. To those who have seen through the ramblings, that there seems to be more to cancer treatment than. HACK, BURN and POISON, I suggest a fascinating discussion and how cancers propagate and grow and...
Thanks for your observations, SpecialLady. Clearly, you Father's position was outside the scope of MY suggestion. METS, is hardly low grade.. To me, the real issue with Doctors is what hope they can...
Most of the above , is appreciated.. In case it missed some small minds, plunk, the whole point was to point out that with lower grade disease, there are possibilities to correct the situation. It's...
Vitamin D is SOoo critical in fighting cancer and moreover, preventing cancer. I take both VitD and Krill Oil, which contains one of the most powerful AntiOxidants known... Astaxanthin. I do wonder...
. So, you have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer...:skull: There is a suggestion that "there is some time , to decide and consider alternatives".:idea: You have read as much as you can and you have...
Plus one to the advice.. those numbers would be envied by many on here. But, there are some proactive things that you could do.. eg. Start on a program of regular Anti-Oxidants... and other Prostate...
. Thanks for the observations.. You may be correct, about the magnetic properties, but I can see a number of said stainless items that will attract magnets.. there is stainless and then...
. Indeed, you would need to know the metal used .. I understand that it is likely a medical grade of Stainless Steel... Massive Magnetic Fields and Steel, likely don't work well together... Your hip...
And that is the exact effect of BT.. you just don't have to remove it to cook it.. Just add seeds and wait two years... dead meat....... :idea: .. ....
:nono: and then you will need the BERGAMET.. At least , if you are blessed with some TIME to think, then you have time to try.. It is the fear "I have CANCER", that pushes us all to professionally...
. A year ago a close friend was having a flow issue and after all the usual processing, including Bx, was told he needed removal , or else..! He refused the generous offer, despite the G6 decree. And...
How refreshing to see reality expressed as it is, in this dark place where the line seems to be towed.... or at least, apparently .. Searching folk, desperate folk... they come and go... but the...
Cutters CUT.... Burners BURN... Good ones are not afraid of competition... Bad ones are, because they know you won't be back.. Gleason of 6.... most men that I know with a SIX ended up being a SEVEN...
So the consensus is three days.. ie. starting at Pre Op of 49 , after 1 week it should be (say) 12 and after 2 weeks - 3 and after 3 weeks - 0.75 and after 4 weeks - 0.2 ......after 5 weeks - 0.05...
Nothing is black and white and as we hear so often here... "We are all different". I naturally assumed that were one being treated by ANYTHING other than Radical Surgery (ie - removal ), then...
How interesting ! I suspect that it reflects the attitude of some surgeons - "Never admit to anything".. A friend developed an (I think it's an) Ingroinal Hernia soon after the op. I think the...
Just wondering if you were having any supplementary treatment.. Others might clarify it, but I "Presumed" that once cut, your PSA would be ZERO. Your Rp was in Jan. and the first PSA in March so...
Thanks, Jim for correcting my misunderstandings.. It's just strange that so many "Official Findings" agree with me. I suppose that study findings can be interpreted as one chooses, depending on what...
. I totally agree, but I just wondered if there was some slight method in their madness.. Clearly, your mind is put at rest with those figures that show a typical decline over time. I do think that...
Makes little difference.. No one on here NOW, will find that of any help.. I guess that it just forces us to consider GENERICS, that seem to do the same thing. Just ridiculous the price they think...
Just a thought.. If a surgeon was concerned about mets (which should have been previously detected) , could the PSA remain high after removal, and hence provide an indicator of a need to remedial...
I presume that "V" came first, and then Levitra and Cialis. So I presume that these are a time off having legal alternatives. I know that I have tried the Generics and those I used seem to be fine.....
G'day Bill.. When I was Dx'ed with PC, I decided that self treatment would not hurt. It's a time now, but I think I was at 5.2 and got the PSA down to 4.7 with a treatment that was said to "make no...
G'day Roxetta.. I too was 60 when I was diagnosed (almost by accident), and I know the feelings as the one afflicted, and also know what it feels like when you feel so helpless and wanting to help...
A later findings on Vit D is that it should be taken with Vit K to stabilise it and reduce the risk of plaque formation The Vitamin You Need to Prevent Prostate Cancer...
As one who elected to get cut, I hold differing observations, but consistent in one way - that at age 81, I would be looking at active surveilance as a first option. (without more information) Were...
How interesting that the more you hear, the more things remain the same. and what do these primarily represent - AntiOxidants. and when the previous mention was made about OPC, it was put down as...
I would think that the Liver would remove PSA, being an undesirable, that would otherwise just keep building and building.. and so - Liver-Failure could present as a rising PSA along with all the...
. One of the best things to happen in Australia, was the advent of ALDI.. As a result, we now have access to good German Choc products.. Prior to their arrival, good European products could only be...
David - We all hope things go well with the new doc.. Re. the VitD issue - there is a featured video on the site about VitD and cancer. I have seen so many "Expert Opinions" supporting VitD, but who...
Saw your other post of this day.. I expect that you are getting the results as I type. I am curious as to whom you attribute the comment about TOD and PSA readings.. (without a prostate) Did Phil...
I assume that you mean "incisional hernia" (Not being picky, but tried to google insertional and only came up with Incisional..) What Is an Incisional Hernia? An incisional hernia happens when a...
