Hey, Bertb, It's been awhile. Great report. My Dr. said the magic number is 2.0. I'm not expecting to see that for a long while, if ever. Great to see your report. Ken...
Great report David, You have a very good Dr. Your in good hands. Hope the rehab slows or even helps with the pain. You know that I am praying for you and all your medical team. It has to be hard to...
Lewvino, All three tats are for alignment. The with mine the machine stopped in 7 different positions (counted them every day) to shot me. The idea is to pass through a different spot to save healthy...
David, What a great opportunity! You will be fine with the speech. Since you are a writer, it might be advantageous to do what I do. (it works great for me). I script first, then do a couple of dry...
fauntleroy, I've been off Lupron for almost 10 weeks now and all I can tell you is what my experience has been to this point and what my Dr. told me. First the Dr. told me that I would probable see...
compiler, Sorry to hear the news but Lupron can keep your PC in check by itself. Take a breath, it will work out. I'll be praying for you buddy. Ken...
Thanks all, :-) Cenami, your treatment started when they put you on Casodex. Yes, it is typical. The theory is that they weaken the PC as much as they can before hitting it with other treatments,...
Good stuff, Congratulations. Ken...
David, Now that is really scary. I have seen a lot of chiropractors that are nothing but quacks and just one or two that I would call good. Know what you mean. Keep up the good fight my friend. Ken...
David, Sorry your appetite is gone. I would hope that it does return soon. You can't afford to miss meals. On the acupuncture, I've know quite a few people that has benefited from it, even if it is...
Fulltlt, Great news. Congratulations. Now forget about PC and enjoy life. Ken...
Thanks all, Just returned from my Dr.'s appointment and we were both happy campers. I did ask about the T level and he said that the 202 was higher than he thought it would be but was not completely...
volv9300, Sorry to hear of your troubles. You have received some good advice. Take steps to deal with the depression and perhaps get out of the funk that you are in. Putting a cork in the bottle is...
Bjnemo, Sorry for your lose. I will be praying for you and your family. Ken...
Thanks guys logoslidat: probably the RT+HT, had very good response to treatment. F8: I was surprised by that number also, will ask the Doc about it, but it would explain some things on the ED front,...
Great new! Enjoy life....
Just got the call with my psa results after stopping the Lupron. I've been off for 9 weeks now. T is 202 and the psa is <.01 :tongue: hot-flashes are gone, fog is clearing up, joint pain is...
Hey bertb, I'm 2 months ahead of you. All I can say is that you will like being drug free. Still praying Ken...
David, Keep on keeping on. I have you and your Dr.s in my prayers, daily. Ken...
I had 24 months of Lupron. I had my last 4 month shot 5 1/2 months ago. My doctor said that by the time I see him 2 weeks from now that I should notice a difference. I have, the hot flashes seem to...
David, That is a lot of posts. There are more readers in this forum than posters and I'm sure that many of them look for your posts. They are, for the most part, insightful and helpful. Keep it up....
So Ga Patient, You might want to ask about a pretreatment T count, what he recommends to help with the SE (including flare), I he will work with your GP during treatments (blood sugar and cholesterol...
Aachen, Very good questions. I think you could say that I am an insider, in that I was involved in the process of bringing in the Dr. that treated me. I would look at where the Dr. went to school,...
Goodlife, What a horrible accident!!! You, your wife, and your family are in my prayers and our prayer team's also. Ken...
Aachen, I had my RT done by the Calypso. The whole experience was fairly uneventful, although, I would say that about 25% of the time the machine would stop and we would have to re-aline things. It...
I've been on HT for 21 month (only 3 more to go). I started with Viagra but have been taking Cialis 5mg daily for the last 6 mo. All for the same reason and I would hope that it works for long term...
Curt, My Uro has me on Cialis daily 5mg. He told me that if that didn't work to add a 10mg on days we were sexually active. Most of the time 5mg. works I'd say 80% but everyone is different....
clock, I would first go to the network and sharing center and run the network trouble shooter and see if that works. If that doesn't work, it's probably something to do with scripts. HW seems to use...
I've been on Lupron for 20 months now and really it hasn't been as bad as some, but I hate it. Periodic joint pain, periodic fatigue, about two hot flashes per day. The memory part that I notice is...
deros, I was told that, for me, the max dose was 84. As you can see in my sig, I was just under that mark. My RT was my primary treatment. Good luck with yours. I would think that, that 38 must be...
Great to come to the end. Just some advice---you now have a lifetime excuse to take an afternoon nap. :) Ken...
James C. That's great. If you don't mind, may I use that for an opening to my sermon tomorrow? Ken...
bertb, At the time I still felt like I could go bear hunting with a stick and my blood work looked good. Probably had something to do with it. :) I still feel pretty good, although the HT does start...
Hum, I got my shingles vaccine and flu vaccine when I still had 3 weeks of RT left. I was also on HT. I spoke to my GP, Uro, and my RO. They all agreed that the risk were minimal and the reward out...

Welcome back David, Looks like you had a great time. It also looks good to have gained weight rather than losing it. Hope that trend continues. I hope that the docs can come up with something this...
That happened to me once. When I talked to the doc I told him that even though I liked him if it happened again I would find a doctor who would make sure I got the information right away. Now they...
PaxNova, I worked every day during my treatment. I had my treatments at 9:00 AM and went right to work. The last 2 weeks I had fatigue toward the end of the day, usually 10 hour days but overall the...
Great news David, Will keep praying that they find the problem and can solve it. Ken...
ROTFL......thanks kbota, If that happened to me, I think I would just have to cancel the rest of the service. :):) Ken...
David, I know I seldom post but I do read the forum often. I have read all your posts over the last year+. I pastor a church in town and have an extensive prayer team. You're on their list and mine....
My RO said, no fiber. At about 4 weeks I ate corn on the cob (wasn't thinking). Some advice-DON'T DO THAT! My RO just laughed when I told him. :):) Ken...
Hi David, Glad you enjoyed yourself. I am in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, and am fully aware of boat therapy. :):) Diane and I both have 5 weeks of vacation each year and we go to the cabin...
Winnie, My thoughts are just my thoughts, I'm not a doctor. But anything that can be done to increase the % is a good thing. In my case I am throwing the kitchen sink at the beast and the doctors...
Bert, I am saddened to here your news. My prayers go up for Frank, his wife, and for you. Ken...
Im_Patient, I am on staff at our local hospital and to my knowledge HIPA only requires you to verify your identity. That being said, the lab will only report to the doctor's office unless they have...
Thanks for the good wishes. Time to relax and live life. Ken...
Ray is in my prayers. Ken...
That is Great news. Look for many more. God is indeed AWESOME! Ken...
Great post Raddad, Happy anniversary! Diane and I celebrate on July 26th. Number 32. It's great to be alive. Ken...
