Thank you for your responses. My wife has always been okay with our present circumstance, I just wish things were a little different....
Haven’t been on for awhile. Hope all are doing well. Just wondering something. I had my prostate removed in 2011, nerves removed, what are chances of injections for erection success? I’ve tried...
Thank you for the well wishes. Last summer my wife and I were riding the tandem in the same area and I remembered seeing an ER doc from the same hospital I went to riding his bike. We're not big fans...
yes, 2 stents so far. They said the other side is 80-90% blocked. I try and eat right since I was dx'd with PC, and I work third shift and it's extremely difficult to exercise as often as I'd like....
This past Saturday started out to be a good day. I woke up with the intention to do a 13 plus mile bike trek around the lake. As I was riding, it became much harder to pedal. When I got to around...
Thanks for the feedback. I wonder if distal vs direct has any correlation to proximal vs inner tissue invasion....
I don't post much, but I'm an occasional window peeper on here. Just curious to find out if it makes any difference the amount of SVI involved. My urologist informed me that the amount of invasion...
Alex, I'm sorry that you're in this situation. I can only offer my past experience. After my diagnosis, my wife and I sought another uro's advice in a different city. Although they had similar stats,...

Thanks for earlier replies. Just had open hernia surgery last Thursday, surgeon told my wife he couldn't perform lapriscopic due to scarring from prostate surgery and radiation. Normally, he would...
Had a meeting with surgeon yesterday for hernia. He told me it may be complicated due to placing mesh in area of prostate surgery and radiation. Anyone have similar experiences?...
My youngest son and I were working on a machine a couple weeks ago and he took a picture of my hair to show me how much hair I'm losing. When he showed me, I couldn't believe it. When I told my wife,...
Sorry to hear that you're having problems. How far are you from Las Vegas? Tony Crispino runs an USTOO prostate cancer chapter in Las Vegas, he was diagnosed around ten years ago with similar stats...
Wishing you all the best...
Thanks Cashless, 'hope things go well for you. I've been trying to follow a similar path....
Monty, T3b represents SVI. If there were no SVI, you would be considered T3a. You and I have very similar stats having the SVI and gleason 6. I went for a second opinion and was told gleason 7, 3+4,...
56...
Happy Birthday Gary, and may you have many, many more!...
I'm curious if anyone else has heard anything about Gouda cheese. I've read it has K12 and is actually good for prostate cancer....
Sorry. This weekend has been a very bad one. Yes, I was talking about my father in law. I left the hospital at about 930 am and Darc called and said he passed at 1230. My father in law was a short...
Can't remember if last weekend or weekend prior. I woke up this morning to my wife crying and knew why. The family met with Hospice earlier and we're just waiting now, just a matter of time now. I...
Deanna, I'm very sorry to hear about your hubby. This past week has been very emotional for me and reading your post tipped the bucket for the tears. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care....
Each year our youngest son and my father in law come to our house to share their birthday dinner about this time. We were looking forward to seeing them yesterday, but my wife got a voicemail from...
Thanks Tony, looking forward to hearing. Hope all is well....
Glad to hear things are going well DA. I read a lot, but don't do much on the replies. I know how you feel on the view versus reply percentage, so I thought I'd improve your numbers. Seriously...

FWIW, I was dx'd in '11 and had surgery in '12. I had IMRT the end of '13 and been undetectable so far, just had PSA test. I went onto YANANOW and looked at survivors on there with our stats. Most...
Thanks again. Just tough seeing my dad going through all this. They caught dad's PC early so he didn't need radiation. Before PC, he had a brain tumor the size of a softball. That was in his 50's....
Thanks guys, for putting me more at ease. Getting old sucks!...
My father was diagnosed with PC over 20 years ago. It was contained, he's almost 84 years young, been in good shape until about 4-6 months ago. He's been having issues with his hip, his doc doesn't...

Dewayne, Thanks for sharing. I'm an avid biker and enjoyed your inspiration. Upon my diagnosis, I had thought the only reason for the uro's concern was because I had done an extensive ride prior to...
