That's what my husband's RO told us. The pathology report is just based on examining samples but not the whole prostate. He told us that's the reason why patients with clean pathology reports have...
Chrissy, sorry for you and your family. Stay strong....

you can also use Google Chrome, I have no problems with HW when I surf with Google Chrome....
Maybe it is due to different culture. My husband's RO and RT centre have ensured that my husband got 5 zaps per week. When there was holiday, the RT centre would operate on Sat to make up for the...
My husband is a G9 with positive margin. My urologist already suggested my husband to have ART right after he told my husband about his bad post-op report. Our RO mentioned about the higher success...
Happy to hear that your wife is much better after the surgery. Hope that you can meet the Dr. at Charleston soon to find out the cause of your pain and weight loss....

Good news, David !!...
My husband just did a PET scan recently, and they injected the dye ? via the back of his hand....

As a female, I fully understand your wife's feelings and I 100% believe that she still loves you. We girls enjoy dating rather than the actual action. Things like shopping, going to a nice...

Tonight we tried to have sex (I still think it is too soon to have it :nono: ), though not 100% as strong as pre-op, my husband still managed to have an usable erection. After the dry orgasm, there...
Bluebird, You are going through what I am going though three months ago. I am sorry to say that biopsy cannot tell the real situation. As for margin, it is the same theory. My husband is a G9, with...
Thanks everyone for the encourage. Tonight while I was washing the dish, and my husband having his shower, he suddenly shouted out. I hurried into the bathroom and he asked me to look. I stared at...

We met our urologist today. He told us that he has discussed with the oncologist about the oncologist's suggestion. He said he did not want to rush things and do unnecessary treatment. He also said...
Devasted, Our urologist is also a surgical oncologist. Our oncologist is clinical oncologist and is only responsible for radiation and chemo therapy. My impression is that our urologist is playing...
Mike, If you want to try Chinese medicine, make sure you find one specialized in treating cancer, not just a GP. It would be better to have referral from your Chinese friends, find one that has good...
David, I rechecked my husband's report and there is no mentioning of tertiary score. It only mentioned that besides grade 5 and grade 4 cells, he also has grade 3 cells. I think it is important for...
Katie, I can feel your anxiety as I am having similar problems with my husband too, though not as serious as your husband. Is there any friend or cousin, or better someone who has survived cancer to...
