Dr. Latini installed my AMS800. As a patient of Dr. Latini for over a year now I am on her patient mailing list. Today I got a letter from her telling me that she is leaving U Of MI at the end of...
Just crossing my 60th BD. Positive PSA on one side and the biospy on the other....
I have gone over the material in the link again. first, I used an entire 1.0 on the first level of Trimix and had a totally inadaquate response. the doc moved me up to the Trimix dosage I am now on....
Injected .45 this morning. Just did not work for me. I am already on the strong dose of trimix. next time I will try .55 but I am getting very discouraged with this....
You are doing a lot more than I did after robotics. Maybe the bleeding is from too much activity?...
JStars said... James, i've never heard of letting it warm up a bit before injecting. Although I suppose a small amount (like 10u i use) will warm up pretty quick in the syringe. Larger amounts not so...
Well, nothing happening tonight. maybe tomorrow. My dear wife is afraid I am going to hurt myself either with the needle or from an over reaction to the med. Something else to work through. and I do...
I have my inject-ease. I loaded it up last night with a used scringe to see how it works. Hit the release button and I can see how the shot would be in before you had time to chicken out. I just do...
Bootheel, I am an avid backpacker and well acquaintd with the CDT, including the section in NM. There are three ending/starting points for the CDT in NM- one is at crazy Cook's Corner on the...
oojim, I came back to add that once in awhile, if I an sitting on a hard surfce and lean or move a certain way I can drip a little. But a few drips is nothing compared to what I was putting up with...
Tallguy, my thoughts about Dr. Latini exactly. I am going to miss her. I have one more follow appointment with her in December. I had a good expereince at Loma Linda with the combined proton therapy...
I had AUS 800 sugery on August 5 and the device was activated Sept. 19 this year. Put your fears aside- what could be worse than continued incontinence for the rest of your life? I have not worn a...
Dasink, You have a way with words- very descriptive phrase. And that is exactly how it is....
James, helpful. maybe I am injecting wrong. I was more of a 10 o'clock/2 o'clock angle. Also, by the time the erection is really coming on I do had a nice ache with it. I am going to work more on...
Dry is wonderful. I had my AMS 800 activated on Sept 19- haven't used a pad since. I know the 800 is not a sling- but dry is dry!!!!!!! Happy day....
Right now the prescription on the bottle: CD/PAP/PHEN/PGE 30MG/0.5MG/30MCG/ML IN SOL My first visit in the doc to learn how to use the stuff the PA used a beginning level of the mix at .20. I got...
I am going to try the auto injector- why not? The first RX i was on did very little for me- even at the full 1cm. That is a lot of med to inject into yourself and I still did not get a full erection....
MrGimpy said... Trew, ....Also if you do not have one pick up an auto injector, makes aiming foolproof What is an auto injector? New term for me....
I was thinking a 3 hr hard was unusual, but I see other men are having that reaction, too. I am on the 2nd level of strength, and don't have the dosage set yet. I last used .45 cc's in my last...
for me it is very slow working- it takes me over an hour to get set, than another 1- 2 hours for cool down. I can do the injection, but i wonder if sex is worth the pain and suffering now connected...
I hate to get into this discussion, but ...... Trimix (did I spell it right- the injection for.....) I am on a higher dose, it does take some experimentation to understand how this drug works on a...
Just about exactly on my 60th BD i got the DX. Nice start to the golden years. (added thread title)...
I had an AMS800 installed on August 5 and activated on Sept 19. There is the possiblity of hernia in the incission sites so you will want to take it easy as long as the doctor tells you. Like my wife...
YAHOO!!!! I love my AMS!! This is sooooooooo nice. Finally....
Marcus, I wish you well in your healing time aqnd a very positive outcome. I am so pleased with the results from my AMS. No pads at all now. Dry all nite, dry all day. I hope your results are as good...
Neo, I have a good friend who had bladder cancer. the doc who did the surgery also took the prostate- seems like that is more common than we knew....
Sept. 19, 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometime between 1:30 and 2 this afternoon Dr. Latini activated my AMS800. Actually took her three attempts to get it started- a bit painful. Shestopped...
the man who had an AMS installed after me has had a lot of problems. he ended up spending the weekend in the ER (We both had surgery on a Friday morning) and had to keep a cath in for a few days...
I'm so encouraged by you guys sharing your stories. I am just over a week away from activiation. I have been handling the device to get use to it- it seems o much bigger inside me than it felt when I...
I am making progress. I can feel the entire device now- 4 weeks out tomorrow. My scrotum is still sore- sensitive. It is amazing, before surgery some time ago I held a AMS in my hand and thought- not...
I can hardly remember a night without pads. I think this is day 18 from surgery on Aug 5. I had my 2 wk post surgery check-up yesterday. All is looking well, the button is exactly where it should be....
knotreel said... Trew, I think that is why the wait as long as 6 weeks for "activation". Mine was activated at 4 weeks and by that time the wall of the scrotum had thinned and other swelling had...
I had a combination of proton and external beam radiation at LLU in souther CA. LLU pioneered the proton treatment in the US and I am delighted to see so many new proton centers starting up. I have a...
2 weeks past AUS surgery. I have been doing my best to tug on the device in the scrotum, but after two weeks I am still very tender. I think today has been the first time I have been able to actually...
I need help putting together a list of questions to ask the doctor when.... This is the setting. You have had a biopsy, you get phone confirmtion that there has been a positive sample taken and the...
I am very leery about venturing into this topic. some sexual content in dreams is not unusual. Before PC treatment those dreams would involve normal activity. After treatment, I would have terribly...
Change of direction on the topic of prostate cancer, but following prostate surgery and the hormone treatment and radiation, well, my dreams about sex have really changed. I am just wondering if...
Neo, that is encouraging to hear. I have been thinking for the last few days- this is day 5 today- I can hardly stand to touch the box and gentle tug it dowward as instructed. Will there ever come a...
I am swollen- day 4. but the worst seems to be over. I see the urine stream is getting a bit stronger and the color down below is returning to more of a normal color. Touching the button is, well,...
The deed is done. I am home from U of MI and a very up close and personal appointment with Dr. J. Latini. I now have a AUS 800 waiting to be activated in 6 weeks. I have a nice comprehensive list of...
I need to order a medical alert card. I am wondering what others with the AUS have on their medical IDs? And out of curiosity, what kind of ID are you using? I am going to get the velcro wrist band....
neo, the condumn cath is a solution I hadn't considered. I do not want to sit in a wet pad while I am healing. Very helpful suggestion- thanks....
I have a question about the incision site for the AUS surgery. the incision is about as bottom end as it gets- and for six weeks one is still incontinent- how do you get the incision site clean and...
I am reading and counting down to Friday. I call U of MI Thursday to get a surgery time for Friday. I hope it isn't the first surgery of the day. I am looking forward to this so much. incontinency is...
An AUS question- I am wondering if anyone had problems with nite leakage and if the AUS was able to control the problem. I had been an active backpacker until cancer, but the backcountry is no place...
Aug 5, 2011 Dr. Latini will be doing her magic on me. I am impressed with her compassion and her ability to put me at ease. I have been scoped by her so many times the last 12 months and she just has...
After surgery I told my doctor to put everything back, I decided to try something else. That did not work too well, either. I wish you well....
