Thanks to everyone. Got my first useable erection last night with 20 units. It lasted longer than it needed to. I took advice on here to make sure it was clear of ice crystals, and took my time when...
Gentlemen- My trimix experience over the last 3 weeks has been challenging. My first injection - 0.1 ccs (10 units) and a 75% result on March 18th. My 2nd injection- 0.125 ccs (12.5 units) and a 90%...
I lost 24 lbs on 2 years ADT. I ate 5 meals a day and worked out 5-6 times per week. 2 to 3 sessions of HIIT cardio and weights on non-cardio days. I cooked a ground turkey chorizo, chicken breast...
Great News_PaperLover We have similar histories as well. Have a great weekend....
142- you have been an inspiration to all of us "silent followers"- your radiation diary was invaluable to me and congratulations on your five year anniversary. Have a great weekend. Keep fighting and...
Thanks to everyone. Good to hear that 5-6 months is about the range, and that Peter is a 0.00. Sorry to hear about PSA return kenny. Quincy-7.5 years - much respect your way. Lost 20 lbs on the...
Haven't posted in quite some time. As you can see in my sig, had the kitchen sink. About 2 months past 2 years of ADT, I am tired and lack ambition. Feel like I should be going the opposite...
This is my first winter on Lupron and I can barely tolerate being outside when the temperature is below 40. Maybe it is just age but I can't remember ever getting cold so quick. Is it a common side...
Growing up squirrel and grouse hunting the hills and hollows where my grandfather had worked the thinner remnants of the Southeastern Ohio Nelsonville Coal following his return from World War I...
I have no idea. But I do know if you go to YANA site and filter by status="deceased" and treatment type ="surgery" http://www.yananow.org/query_stories.php#topoflist It makes for interesting reading....
I am going in for another Lupron shot tomorrow. Five months behind me. The physio chemists who design this stuff must be amazing, because I am fairly ambitious today. That has been the most...
too- We have very similar params and surgeries within a week. I beat you to the second party and am doing well. Hired a personal trainer when I started the ADT and workout 6 days a week, 3 with...
That's interesting and courageous. On the American Cancer Society Prostate Cancer Forum, there is a gentleman who is 40 months out from RP. The first 12 months under a PSA of 1 his doubling time is...
Has anyone ever seen distribution statistics of Gleason scores? Thanks Jim...
Bridgewater- From someone who is going through SRT right now, how do they explain the pelvic lymph node being missed by radiation? All I ever hear is that if it is in the pelvic zone it's dead. Best...
A group of 15-year old boys discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View Restaurant because they only had $6.00 among them and...
It seems that they give a shot that nearly eliminates your testosterone production and time after time the cancer goes to sleep. If they give you a shot that increases your testosterone level can one...
My radiation oncologist says we are due a wave of epidemic aggressive prostate cancer. http://www.cnbc.com/id/48149955/page/2/ http://www.cnbc.com/id/48149955/page/2/[/url] Brook...
BOOGEE- My doc wanted me to get right into the radiation I actually got my first lupron shot a week after radiation started --no Casodex. She initially sold the 2 years ADT pretty heavily but at my...
David- Thanks and yes it does- although as the ability to measure low PSA becomes greater, it would seem that there would need to be a mass of cancer cells available and it is hard to believe the...
Does anyone ever wonder about the behavior of the PSA after RP and the seeming coincidence of it all. I was just on YANA reading about a gentleman who had a PSA around 4 with G8 and an RP in 2005....
That is great BB. Very Happy for you. Brook...
It doesn't take too long to come to the understanding that there are 2 kinds of people in this world, those who live with cancer (or other such disease) and those who don't. When I was on the other...
That's great news and I know how you feel. When you read about PSA doubling time studies post RP, at these low PSA levels it can scare the crap out of you. Enjoy Jim...
Purg- Thanks for that-- at least I know I'm not crazy, someone else has wondered about the same. Have a decision to make about that next Lupron shot July 3rd, whether to take it or maybe to delay to...
Jeff- Thanks for the response and clarification regarding how radiation works. Like the trend in your PSA following SRT. Sure would make one suspect that your cancer was in the nuke zone. That 0.1...
Thanks for the thread and I am in the zone now. I read one page about how radiation works and it seems that cancer cells are distinguished from ordinary cells by the fact that they are dividing. My...
