This is not a healthyplacefor me. I did not goto Loan-ketteringor Johns Hopkinsor SarasotaorHenry Ford. And I did not have the fancy tests people here require. I just trusted my physicians and second...
Guys, I was here three years ago when I was first diagnosed and scared. I left feeling terrible because of how poorly you treat people and how you demean them for trusting local physicians. You seem...
David, I am seriously offended by posts that suggest only a few experts and the latest tests are the only true hope a patient has. I find those posts toxic, self-aggrandizing and to some degree...
I'm sorry. I'm missing something. I'm not cynical here but I am skeptical. I've been involved with multiple aspects of the medical and biomedical community all of my adult life. I was married to a...
Yooper, Grab me a beer once, aina hey? Da skeeter must be bad up nort, you so far sout from da yoop. You have a similar dx I had about three years ago. I don't think my urologist would call that a...

Toronto is home to the world's largest pharmaceutical company, Pfizer. They make money selling drugs. They don't make money from surgery. Notice this is one more study involving older men, where less...

Leg bag is a good idea. Instead of hospital, call your pjysician's office for a scrip, and pick one up at a decent pharmacy or a medical supply store. It's cheaper and with a scrip your insurance...
Didn't mean to leave, lost my ID. S'pose the cancer didn't leave either. Fourth day of radiation. I do it over lunch, the hospital is a mile and a half away and I power walk there and back. You can...
