Hi mrbaseball. Like others have said, you are definitely not alone in this journey. I was diagnosed at 39 after my primary care doc decided to check my PSA during a routine physical for fear I...
Good question and I did not think to ask before or after my surgery. I really wanted to know what my post surgery sex life would be like. I had my cath removed 7 days after surgery and first orgasm 5...
No doubt! I too have what looks like a double belly button at first glance. I now have an inny directly above the original inny. Gonna start working on this gut some, we'll see if that helps....
Had same thing about a half inch to an inch in on bottom left side of penis. At times it was very noticeable. Could feel urine pass by the area and get a strange sensation almost like it was being...
Tall, I am probably wrong but I am under the belief that PC is only linked to low T when men are taking supplements to raise their T levels. Either these supplements or naturally occurring high T is...
After reading many articles that correlate high testosterone levels with baldness and high testosterone levels with prostate cancer, I got to wondering------How many guys on here that were diagnosed...
GC, Glad to hear you have made through the hard part well. Best of luck with your pathology report, sure it will be great. Take it Easy for now and enjoy the down time cause being back In the grind...
Hi Patrick, I had RALP on 10/28/13. I think what you are dealing with is like most. When at work I generally have one pad on from about 0630 to 1200 and change right after I eat lunch. Pad is soggy...
Glad you found this place. It has certainly helped me through my journey. There are a ton of good and knowledgeable people hear and all have been exactly where you are right now. I too found my way...
Hi Clanda, glad you are doing well. As far as the urine leaking around the catheter, I had this issue every time I sat down to have a BM. Really freaked me out the first time but was told that it was...
Pathology showed minute foci G6 in right apex(where my 1 biopsy core was positive) and minute foci G6 in left base. Very small amount of adenocarcinoma found. All margins, SV invasion, PN invasion,...
Don't you feel better after making a choice? I know I did. If it were me I would do the same thing. Nevermind, I already did(haha) Had mine done on 10/28 and trust me you have nothing to fear....
Thank you for the replies. I had never heard of mesalamine enemas. I assume they are by prescription only? It is funny the mentions of me probably having rectal inflamation because this seems to be...
Hello all, I was diagnosed a few months back with UC of the entire colon and I was wondering if my symptoms were consistent with other UC sufferers. I had some diarrhea issues about 5 years ago. Went...
mandjk, The gas pains and inability to initially have a bowel movement really seem to be common complaints I have learned. I have been good to go since my first BM. Think all of the walking finally...
Thanks for the encouraging words. Had BM last night after dose of milk of magnesia. only pain was from sitting on the can and not from BM itself. Feeling quite well 4 days post op. Abdomen muscle...
Thanks. My spasms defiantly made it fee like I had to urinate. Terrible feeling of pressure in penus. Totally was not expecting that. Now I kind of feel like I did the day of and day after biopsy....
What my doctor has called bladder spasms. This was extremely painful the first 24 ours out of surgery but the pain has lessened I think due to meds. I am also experiencing rectal pain which is...
Tudpock 18, Yes the biopsy is something I am glad I will never have to do again. My slides were reviewed by a second pathologist that gave the same report. I will be shocked if my post op pathology...
GC No, I did not have a second biopsy. We did discuss a saturation biobsy and I really struggled with going down the active surveillance path vice surgery. I figured the second biopsy was only going...
GC, sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with this disease so young like myself. Really is amazing how similar our stories are. I am 39 and was diagnosed back in June with very similar stats. 2...
Melg- your husbands story is exactly what my gut is telling me is going on with me. If my PSA were in the 2-3 range I would feel a whole lot better about it. I just don't trust this stone age biopsy...
Love that list gedman. My wife and I have decided not to tell our kids (6 and 9) about my PC. If/when I opt for surgery we are going to relate it to something like appendicitis. But great list as I...
No antibiotics but before my first PSA test in May I was having stomach issues that prompted me to see my primary care doc in first place. She referred me to GI for that issue at the same time she...
Thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I have been dealing with this since late May and I am hoping to decide by the time I meet with my doc next week. My only worry and the...
Thanks davidg. My slides were reviewed by a second pathologist at the lab they were sent to. Not sure if that counts as a second opinion or not. I have talked to 4 oncologists and you are right, all...
Hello everyone. I am new here and wanted to get some opinions on treatment options. By pure luck this disease was caught early as my primary care doc thought she felt something during DRE(routine...
