Agree with all 100%. That is a good analogy between ovarian cancer and testicular cancer. I guess a woman's fear of vaginal cancer would be more analogous to PCa, sort of. PCa seems to be less...
Excellent posts Tony. Based on how my wife and I followed up on her OvCa surgery over 4 years ago, I have to say that anyone with any type of cancer should get both and 2nd and a 3rd opinions if they...
As I said in my first post, I'm completely against the recommendation to not do PSA. I also don't think that GS6 should not be classified as cancer. It is cancer, so classify it as such. I would not...
I don't understand the negative opinions of something like this calculator. If my numbers gave me a 68.7% risk of PCa and a 27.3% risk of high grade PCa, especially if my PSA were above 4, or more...
This might clarify things a little (or make it more confusing): http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Multivitamins-and-prostate-cancer.htm...
I would be happy to pay the copay to see a uro. Hopefully he/she would not be one of those who still believes that TRT causes PCa. I'm leery of doctors after what we saw when my wife has OvCa 4 years...
I would be very willing to get another PSA test, but Medicare only pays for 1 screening PSA every 12 months. Excellus BCBS said that they will cover it if medically necessary. Since BCBS will reject...
Thanks for the replies. She is actually my PCP. She wants to send me to a urologist for a biopsy. My wife and I both think this is nuts too. @T1cN0M1b-in-FL - How do you feel with a TT level of 3?...
I keep thinking of things to add. I'm 68 YO, with a BMI of 24.0. I take doxazosin for moderate BPH and have had BPH for at least 10 years....
I forgot one item. I took four 25-30 mile bicycle rides 6-11 days before the blood draw. I was getting sore down there by the last riding day. However, I didn't do any rides for 6 days before the...
My old doctor retired and I now have a new doctor who is recently out of residency. Just over 5 years ago I had many of the symptoms of low testosterone and the doctor tested me for total T only. It...
Quote from the article: "The side effect can occur when men take high doses of the drug." I have searched for more information, but could not find much more than in this article. Has anyone seen what...
I've had a moderately enlarged prostate and mild BPH for about 10 years and my PSA has always been between 0.75 and 0.82, at least from the 5 or 6 readings that I have at home. It has not gotten...
Has anyone seen this study? http://www.goldjournal.net/article/S0090-4295%2810%2900311-0/abstract Here is some info in the Meso-Rx site. I can't get the entire article, so this link has a little more...
Wow Casey59, you are an expert at taking something out of context. You must be a politician. :) My entire statement was "So in the instance of these generics, my opinion is that you get what you pay...
If it is sildenafil citrate and the correct strength then it should be the same as brand name Viagra. However, there is nothing that guarantees that any uncontrolled generic is the proper formula or...
Manly, Silagra, Caverta and others are made in India and are generic forms of Viagra. They are not really legal in the US because they violate the US patent that Phizer holds for Viagra. They are...
I don't have PC, but I have used Viagra, as well as Silagra, Caverta and Manly from ADC. I bought 1 order of Manly and 2 orders of Silagra. The Manly is relatively weak - less than 1/2 the strength...
I laughed and took it as a joke the second I read it. I use the same line at times. I guess I understood because I was a mechanical engineer before I retired. Still remember those college classes. :)...
A suggestion on the lube. Use a thick gel lube for the seal and a thin liquid lube on the penis. A lube on the penis like K-Y silk makes it slide easier in the tube than a thick lube. However, you...
I bought the Osbon ErecAid Classic (2 part pump) a couple of years ago when I was struggling with ED. I have used it with and without the sizing insert and had no problems. It works best with the...
I don't know anything about him, but I did a search (Google "Dr. Vipul Patil orlando") and found these: http://www.globalroboticsinstitute.com/en/urology-robotic-prostatectomy/why-dr-patel...
What I got from HB is the good information and discussions on hypogonadism and sexual health. There is a Men's Health board and a Men's Sexual Health board. There were good discussions on TRT and the...
Quote from medved: "I find the way HB enforces its policy a bit ridculous. For example, I have sometimes wanted to post links to urology/oncology journal articles there - that were directly...
Yes, there are some very helpful people on HB. The site also does have many excellent discussions on many different conditions. However, the tight restrictions on what they can say to help others...
Yes, they are jerks about that. However, you can still read the forum. I had the same problem, but if you wipe out your browser history and cookies or use another browser then you can again read the...
Thanks for the clarification....
James, thank you for your reply. Much appreciated....
Just a question. What I have done on a couple of other boards is to give a short description or title of a published article and the link to the article. Then I sometimes quote (with quotes) a couple...
I read this thread about a year ago when I was looking for alternatives to Viagra. I had low testosterone and had ED problems and was using Testim and Viagra. I ordered twice from ADC and it included...
Since this particular thread is not about someone's problem, perhaps I can ask a question here. I think that HW is an excellent board - perhaps the best that I have seen. However, I don't see a place...
Hello gentlemen. I hope you don't mind me posting on the PC board, as I don't have PC. I have been reading this board for about 2 years though and gotten some great information from it. I had ED...
