The rise to 17.5 seems to be a bad test....I agree that rise is way to fast in that short time. To really nail down your PSA trend, you need many tests over time that show what it is...it does...
You asked the dosage of Avodart...he put me on .5 mg for 30 days. How are you doing BTW ? Cheers, Curt...
Hi Sunnydog- Here is an update on my situation....I have been on a yearly PSA test for some time and over the last 9 years it has risen very slowly....it has gone from.06 just after my RP to .4 last...
Sunnydog- Did your surgeon have an idea about how he removed your prostate....did he leave prostate tissue behind for the same reason mine did ?? Seems like reading your case that he could have done...
Hi Sunnydog- I am still here now after 8 years since my RP and my uro says I still do not have a recurrence of cancer....just the very slow rise every year of my PSA as my benign prostate tissue...
Hi Tall Allen- Prostrate tissue does generate PSA and as it grows, your PSA will go up naturally...that is certainly a fact, that is why our PSA goes up slowly as our prostrate enlarges with age. "I...
Hi Tall Allen- I was careful picking my words in my post....My story is just that....my facts are my facts and only time will tell the entire truth for me. I try to keep an open mind for myself and...
I feel that there are others that have probably had the same surgery situation as mine...but, because of the rise in their PSA, they pull the trigger, and in some cases, end up getting needless...
It has been awhile since I posted and thought I would update. My RP was performed on 5/11 and my surgeon felt very strongly that my cancer was totally contained inside my prostrate with no...
Hi Brian- We live very close to each other, Silver Lake is only about 1 mile from where I live...if you want to go have a coffee or just chat, let me know. Sounds like you are doing really well....
Hi tennis23- Congratulations on coming over to the other side, sounds like you are coming around and Wow !! great test results. It takes awhile to get that bladder under control, but that will come...
Everyone is different on how their body reacts to trimix...some are very sensitive and some are not...some end up in the ER when their erection will not go away and some wish they could have more...
I have been taking 2000 mg of Niacin daily for years now to control cholesterol which went from 220 down to 125, it is a great supplement for that if you can handle the flushing it causes…. I am 5...
Make sure you hydrate yourself really well the day before your test and then stay hydrated until the test is complete. PSA results will vary with your hydration and when you are looking at very small...
Hi ksk54- After my prostate was removed, my PSA started to rise slowly, my Doc put me on avodart for 6 months to see if it would drive my PSA down to zero and it did which proved that the PSA rise...
I have been using trimix for a few years now and it worked really well in the beginning but as time marched on, things started to change. At first with a regular prescription of trimix, .25 cc would...
Happened to me also for several months after my RP......everytime i lifted something heavy I would see a little blood but it went away quickly after a few urinations. I called my Dr and he said that...
How long does 10ml last you? The compounding pharmacy I use advised me to use up my prescription within 3 months. I was also told to store it in the freezer, take one vial out, storing it in the...
My new "Super Trimix" certainly works better than my original prescription...with my old mix I was using .5cc and that was not working very well anymore. With my new mix, .2cc does the job nicely :-)...
A member from "Frank Talk" turned me onto this company.... "Talon Compounding Pharmacy" in San Antonio, TX Their price for any formula of Trimix is $66 for 10ml plus $32 for overnight...
I have traveled by air many times ( inside the US and International) with my trimix vial (on ice) and syringes passing through TSA with no one asking anything...it is a prescribed medication and you...
Hi Worried Guy- Thanks for the info...I just want the vials, I like to fill my own syringes and adjust the dosages....I use the very small 30 g needle... What are you paying ? And yes, I would like...
My Uro has now written me prescriptions for a more powerful Trimix and also Quad mix. In the past, I have always ordered it directly from his office...standard strength trimix in a 10 cc vial for...
Great report and great news for your treatment !!! My uro's office wanted me to see the Dr. everytime I did a PSA test...I told them no, no...I understand more about what is going on with me then...
I have been having poor results with my trimix now after using it for several years. My current Trimix is "Standard" Strength. My Uro said he would look into a stronger mix for me and also suggested...
Hi Startech- I just sent you an email.... Cheers, Curt...
What size needle is he using ?...sometimes the Dr prescribes really large guage needles....a lot of us just use insulin syringes which are very small guage and you hardly feel them...they go in...
Hi Sophie- What size needle is he using...sometimes the needle is just not quite long enough and you just push a little harder on the syringe housing and the plundger goes down very easily. I have...
I will ask my Uro what options he might recommend and go from there...my first thought was to just increase the strength if my current prescription was on the weaker end of the spectrum. Thanks for...
I went from 25 units all the way up to 50 units over the last few years but stopped using it because it was not doing the job anymore.....it would be several days between uses. I use to get rock hard...
Hey Guy's........Over time, I have found that my trimix prescription does not do the job it use to….. :( My prescription comes from Wedgewood Pharmacy and is labeled "Tri-Mix Standard" on the 10ml...
And I am 63 and my wife is 39...that certainly helps a lot with the rehab...my rehab is still underway after 3 yrs..still using trimix...but life is good !!! :-) Cheers !!! Curt...
Thanks Steve- I will be called with my test results while spending a couple of days away with my wife for our anniversary...hopefully we will be celebrating both, our 1st year together and good PSA...
Well...it has been almost 1 yr since my last PSA check. With monthly checks for a year to validate a level baseline of about .255, I finally convinced myself that it was ok to wait awhile before my...
The only way you can confirm any real margins and involvement is to have it removed...get it out, then radiation is always an option later if anything escaped the prostate. I just wanted to get mine...
I also use a 5/16 31 gauge needle and it has always worked great and has very little pain when injecting….if it is hard to push the plunger, then I just push it in a little harder….works great !!!...
Here's hoping your path report is better than expected :-) Curt...

Congrats !!!! Welcome to the "Prick Club" !!! It is amazing how trimix can lift a guy's spirit and other things !!! :-) Cheers to you !!! Curt...
I also think it should be for all the reasons you listed.....I think that the thought of most guy's sticking a needle in their love machine gets in the way most of the time. It is only after...
I also prefer trimix over pills....longer lasting erection after climax, it is quick and pretty cheap.... Trimix has my vote all the way !!!! Curt...
Living in Seattle all my life.....The Seattle/Saints game went the way it was suppose to go from my vantage point !!! Go Seahawks !!!! Cheers !!! Curt...
Hi Scooterdu- Merry Christmas to you too !!! It took me several months to get total continence back, ie...no pads, but probably a year before no leaks at all....sometimes when lifting something or...

This is a post from "Frank Talk" that got me thinking.... "Another tip for being sure you've hit the sweet spot is to see if you can draw blood back into the syringe, it's obvious if you can and...
