Dave uses it every day. He started a few days after the cath came out. He doesn't like it for sex and uses it for therapy. I think it's one of those, "do I take a chance and not use it or if I don't...
Thank you all!! And to top everything off, my GFR (kidney function) is in the normal range for the first time in 4 years. I have kidney disease. Normal GFR is 60+. I've been in the 35-45 range for 4...
Dave's 6 months PSA is ZERO!!!! WOOHOO!!!! "His" Red Sox won the world series! We are off to Mexico on Thursday for 10 days for a much needed vacation. He is seriously happy!...
I have to give myself an injection of Enbrel every week. It's $2400+ per month without insurance. With insurance, my copay is $75. However, Enbrel has a "patient assistance" card that brings my copay...
Don,Happy, Happy, Happy means fun, fun, fun!...
Use organic coconut oil on your face. OCO has antifungal properties. Hubby got jock itch when wearing pads. OCO cleared it up....
this is not funny, but seriously guys, where do you get the names? Johnson???? Unit????? Junk???? This has a diagram on where to inject: http://www.trimixinjection.com/trimix_instructions.html Dave...
Of course, as a woman, we tend to look at things differently. To me, intimacy doesn't have much to do with anything physical. We are always intimate even when dressed and out for dinner. That has not...
Awesome! A reason to celebrate this weekend! I do have a question. Is it the 100% disability that took so long? I understood that pc was a no questions asked, no proof needed approval. But not sure...
yes it is, but I just can't think of a better word....
I travel with a syringe filled with a drug called Enbrel. No once in 10 years have I been questioned. I have traveled to Europe and Mexico. However, just to be on the safe side, get a letter from...
My husband's wife died in 2005 after an 11 year battle with breast and ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer on her 5 year anniversary surviving breast cancer. He told me the...
I just read all your blogs for the month of October. I am sitting here in awe of a strong man, not willing to let this cancer control his life. I am also in awe of the woman beside you, who loves you...
Wow...I sit here with tears streaming down my eyes, so thankful I found this group. While "just" the wife of a guy with pc, I am no less on the journey with him. David, your post and everyone else's...
Welcome home! Glad you had a great trip! Hope you feel better soon....
Thanks Peter. I thought it was, but then thought I read somewhere it is also spread. It would be an interesting question to ask a doctor though....
Once you get a prescription, you can purchase it from any compounding pharmacy. Call them and get a price. Our doctor believes in aggressive penile rehab soon after surgery. He said pills for...
I wonder if the gel is spread on the penis, if it would affect the woman coming in contact with it either vaginally or orally. As a woman, I'd want to be assured it wouldn't cause any reactions and...
Congrats! It's a great club to be in!...
Shanchit, Doctors deal with that everyday. Your doctor probably deals with it everyday too. They are professional and should make you feel ok about it. You should NOT do an injection without a...
An, What an inspiring post. From that, I believe you will overcome the cancer and everything that has been thrown at you as opposed to letting adversity beat you. The role of a caretaker is often...
Dave is approaching 6 months post surgery. We talked about leaking today and he said he's not really leaking at all and doesn't even think about it anymore. He said last week he got caught on a...
Safe travels and hopefully, the spirit of the cruise will help you feel better physically. Have fun! Nancy...
I have a friend that would like some sites to go to for BPH. Does anyone have any forums you can recommend for that exclusively? Thanks! Nancy...
Glad it went well!...
It was testosterone that allowed Dave's pc to be found so early. I agree with Steve. If Testosterone lets a cancer be found earlier instead of slowly growing in the body till it's at an advanced...
Good luck. Dave had surgery last Thursday for a torn meniscus. He's doing great. Though by Saturday, I was ready to run a "free to a good home" ad in the paper! Hope it all goes well! Nancy...
Good news! Reason to celebrate!...
Glad he is better! yes, I am in sunny AZ....
Trimix states it usually works when BiMix doesn't. I would definitely give it a try. And it sounds like the trimix dose is much smaller. Dr. Mullhall has an excellent video on YouTube:...
My husband was given medication for the kind of spasms you are describing. It's pretty common after surgery, though maybe not as severe as your dad's. I would ask for medication asap. My husband was...
Good luck! Sending positive thoughts from AZ....
Awesome! You deserve to do the happy dance! Oh wait, I think you already did! In any event, celebrate!...
Good luck! Here's to a successful surgery and uneventful recovery!...
Thanks Terry, I took it out....
I am so sorry your mom passed away. Please know that thoughts and prayers are with you. Nancy...
I was tired yesterday! It was a fun party! correct email: go by email in profile Thanks for the catch. Also, if you guys would also tell me what dose works for you that would be great too....
jwalk: the bottle should have the names above the numbers, probably separated by slashes as well. Here is my guess: Prostateglandin comes in mcg: so yours is probably 7.5mcg Cpap starts at usually...
I'd like to chart out the dosages given for Trimix and Bimix. If you guys want to send me your cocktail that is on the label, I will do a spreadsheet. It might show some interesting data. I will keep...
We paid $110 for 6ml in 3 vials. We get about 35 total doses for the 6ml. Peter is right in that the cocktail makes a difference in the cost. Here is Dave's cocktail and the usual prescribed strength...
Thanks. Was curious if we happened to go to the same practice. it's happened before to me....
Well crap! I just discovered I have two profiles. How did that happen and why was I automatically logged into the other one that has never been used? PHXDave....I'm also azsunshine2012 and I still...
This brings tears to my eyes. My prayers that the family finds peace. No matter how bad we might feel, there is always someone in worse condition. Celebrate each and every day and the ones you love....
Awesome! Another convert to the shots! I am concerned with you guys drawing blood back into the syringe. That means you are in a blood vessel. Our doctor said that was a no-no and to withdraw the...
Congratulations! We love the Trimix too and yes, it does take a little practice. I'm really happy for you!...
Good for you! Not many put mental and physical health over status and money....
Congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness! I'm so very happy for you!...
There are excellent doctors out there with compassion and excellent doctors out there with zero compassion. Personally, I prefer those with compassion. You can get that too. YOU deserve that. A...
My mom had a hysterectomy when I was 22 years old. She was worried that she would die and gave my sisters and I a special gift. She didn't die and that was 38 years ago. Then about 8 years ago, she...
Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you. Enjoy and celebrate your love today!...
