For the golfers... Just got this one this morning and got a good laugh. Police are called to an apartment and find a woman holding a bloody 5-iron standing over a lifeless man. The detective asks,...
I'll do some reading about ACA so I'm better informed. Based on what was posted above and what I have read elsewhere, my current understanding is they can't deny a person coverage because of a...
Sort of along the same lines... One of the factors I considered when I was deciding on my treatment options is what would happen if I went the AS route and I lost my job and insurance. If I were...
If you are concerned about it you should have them re-run the test so you're not thinking about it for the next 6 months. I had a similar situation, I found out the lab keeps the sample for about a...
I lost about 15 lbs from the surgery and maybe made me a little more health conscious so I checked "caused a positive re-direction" but aside from that nothing good....
My doctor used an ultrasound probe to do the biopsy and he hit 4 out of 8 cores positive. He said he could see the tumors with the ultrasound so not sure why an MRI targeted biopsy would be needed...
Something to consider is if he doesn't get treatment under his current plan, how will his pre-existing condition impact his ability to get health insurance on his own if he doesn't land a job with...
Actually had mine done 1.5 months before you so I'm at the 3 month mark right now. Trying to figure out what my options are so wondering if Tewari or someone in his office wrote a prescription for...
Gedman, I was going to ask you how you got the pump because Tewari also told me he doesn't really believe in it. My stats and recovery are almost the same as yours and I'm in the process of...
More like a walk in central park but at 3AM, getting mugged, beaten, left for dead, and then you wake up in ICU trying to schmooze the nurses for ice chips and more morphine :) I just had mine done...
I continue to be amazed at how much information is available on this site so thank you for sharing. As a side note I think you must have been the guy standing next to in the rest room last month :)...

My Doctor offered me a Valium, I declined but afterward I wish I had taken it. Call me a wuss but if I had to do it again tomorrow I'd take whatever drugs he would give me. Probably the most painful...
I didn't get the feeling you were trying to tell me what to do so no apology necessary there. You have a lot of knowledge about radiation therapy so I think it's good that you are willing to share. I...
[i]Quote from A Yooper - "With this being your first post, I would encourage you to join in" Thank you, I will. Quote from A Yooper - "but please be carefull of making statements unless you have the...
By all means please prove me wrong! I have not done anything yet so my options are still open but all the data I've seen so far suggests otherwise. When I plug my data into the calculator posted...
Aachen, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, looking for answers and getting ready to make some hard decisions. I've read this entire post twice but you appear to be overlooking the statistic...
