Oh jeez....sorry to hear Mrs. Purg is in pain..I don't wish back pain on anyone...how is she today?...
Welcome!! Deep breaths...try to stay calm. Hubby is the same age as your hubby--he is 5 months out from surgery and doing GREAT!!! It s*cks to be in the big boys club but it is what it is..read as...
Hubby has an appt Nov 20th I believe...a meeting w/ the surgeon to discuss if he wants to do radiation..I'm pretty sure he's not going to do it unless his PSA rises at some point .. so as long as...
Wow. When I read he tested for celiac my jaw dropped...can't believe the gastro didn't do that...I pray it's as simple as that..it would s*ck being on a strict diet, but the pain would go away and...
So still...seems to me the jist of this article is adjuvant radiation helps decrease the possibility of reoccurrence...but has no effect on long term survival rate vs waiting to see what happens and...
Yeah. Done and done...fingers crossed you are done for good!!!...
btw how the freak do you quote a post? I cant figure out how to get the cursor out of the text box so I can reply..the last time I did it everything stayed in itallics... (!)...
Startech Hubby's not really the forum type...I sent him a link to HW but honestly I'm not even sure he's been here..I am hands on when it comes to this stuff...Hubby isn't--he's literally too...
Ugh the million dollar question...Hubby's surgeon recommends radiation b/c of a postive margin but left it totally up to hubby..so far so good..PSA test 0...it seems to me it's a crap shoot...and the...
Whoah didn't proof that last post..I really do know how to type lol.. :)...
My husband was very open with his PCa which actually surprised me. He talks about it openly. When he was first diagnosed and 'word got out' that he had it, guys started crawling out of the word work...
Yes!!!! Great news! Congrats!...
YEAH!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!! LOVE these posts!!! Take a load off..enjoy life and reeeelaaax for a bit!!!...
Hello there and welcome!! I'm a newbie too and totally agree with your thoughts on the forum....such a wealth of information and the friendliest people around! Glad you joined! Hang in there-we all...
YESSSS!!!!!! Great news! Man I could feel how nervous you were! You must feel on top of the world--and rightfully so! There is NOTHING like the rush of a '0' PSA...people just don't get it unless...
Good luck today! Hubby was VERY swollen in the ab area for about 2 1/2 weeks. He couldn't even wear his pants for about 3 weeks. For some reason he just took a while getting rid of that air and fluid...
Congrats!! That's great news..when hubby has his PSA drawn it is on the same 'scale'...the lowest reading he could ever get at that lab is <.04.....I have seen some readings here got out three...
Great post. I find myself not worrying as much about the small things..things I know I can't control. Since hubby was dx'd with PC it has helped me put things in perspective a bit. I find myself more...
Congrats!!!! Jeeez...she must have had a bad hair day..it amazes me how some of these nurses just don't get the PSA anxiety...anyways go celebrate!!! Yeah!! Great for you!...
I agree with Billy Mac...that was a very hard read..I could feel your pain...I can only imagine how helpless you feel that noone can diagnose what the problem is..if the pain starts so fast after you...
Congrats!!! I know exactly how you feel...hubby was just tested last week and seriously when the nurse texted it was 0 I swear I exhaled for the first time in days...people just don't realize unless...
Ok thanx David I thought it was when something 'stuck together' but wasn't exactly sure WHAT...great explanation..jeez..I hope you don't have these but if you did at least it may explain your...

Yeah Congrats!! I never tire of reading great news!!...
Oh an David your posts are spot-on...Very very thoughtful posts and heartfelt advice....
This thread is amazing. I just ate a ton of cheez-its reading every post. Very humbling reading everyone's views on sex/love/intimacy. It is so true that everyone rates sex in a marriage at different...
David I just can't imagine how you're getting through all this. It must be horrid for your wife to watch you suffer so. If it IS radiation damage, then perhaps with some time the symptoms will...
Congrats! Now breath.....that's great news!...
Good luck today!!! Waiting is the WORST..I remember surgery day like it was yesterday...SO glad it's behind us and you will be too..In a few hours you will be with your husband in his room.I was...
Thinking of you Purg...don't you get your results today? Funny I think of you everyday..everything you've endured and you continue to have a stable attitude. You are amazing and we learn from you....
I can honestly say I never smelled anything although hubby was constantly worrying about it. I bought him some Old Spice body spray last year and he never used it until after the surgery bc he was so...

Hi demtap and welcome! I am new here too although I've been lurking for MONTHS! I agree with zimac...don't focus on the bladder cyst. Cysts come and go in all of us all the time and we don't even...

Thank you everyone!!!I have to say I am amazed at all the responses! One minute I'm for the radiation, the next I'm dead set against it. The radioligist is in the same practice as the surgeon..It is...
