Again thanks for encouragement & great advice. But as it is, my numbers shot up to 445 last blood draw so doc says its a no go as of now....
Thanks to all for your valuable feedback, think I'm going to give it a try....
Sorry been awhile since I last visited or posted. Have a question about treatment & side effects and benefits about testosterone replacement treatment. The best answers I ever got about PC were found...
Been awhile since I've posted or been on the site. Guess I didn't feel I had anything new or interesting to share. After surgery I experienced ED for the 1st time in my life, I knew things weren't...
My Script has always been refrigerated, is a week shy of 1 year old and still works, although it only takes 50% of the amount I originaly started with. I hate to waste it and spend the $$ on refill...
I think I've probably read a thread on this previously, URO but me on 5mg cialis right after cath came out app 14 months ago. First month I took my "free" script, 2nd month my $210 script, since then...
Wore pads first couple weeks after surgery was pretty much dry at four weeks. Now at one year post op it's not anything I even consciously think of. Very small insignificant stress leak maybe once...
You are exactly a year behind me, had mine out May 29th of 2013. Your next big step is getting catheter out. It's a big relief to be done with it, but also the point at which most of us realize, oops...
After we arrived at hospital and checked in that morning, they directed my wife to a waiting room, I tried to follow her until they stopped me and said your coming this way...
I took Trimix on 12 hour trip home to destination island and back again without refrigeration six months ago. I'm still using same script & requiring slightly smaller dosage....
One year ago right now they were wheeling me into the recovery room after my app four hour surgery. As I recall the night before I was really considering skipping out on the appointment but thought...
I'm coming up to my one year surgery anniversary and had a similar start to my journey, PSA wasn't very high 2.5 or so but a nodule discovered at annual physical. I didn't think it would amount to...
I thought 10 cc referred to 1/10 of one ML...
Yes to refrigeration, my URO told me to start at 25 cc and work up as needed. After reading here I decided that was to high a starting point so I tried starting at 10cc which worked great, next time...
After surgery & catheter removal I was up 4-5 times a night to hit the bathroom the first few months, now 10 months out only once a night. Once in a great while I make it the whole night without...
I've been using Trimix since Nov 2013, had a couple close calls, but a little extra strength sudafed did the trick. My URO told me to start at 25cc and work up to 50cc. From what I've read here I...

Have a great time all, and post some pic's!!...
If you go to the website and read the article, then look at all the comments, about half of the comments are push back from our fellow PCa brothers, describing how their cancers would have been...
Great News, congrats!!!!...
81gyguy, Your last paragraph really nailed it for me. I was having dinner with wife and teenage grandson. After the doc mentioned the C word, I got a little short with him, told him I was in the...
Realized when I woke up this morning, today is the one year anniversary of my DX. Call came at 5:20 pm just about four business days after my biopsy. I knew when I saw the caller ID, the calendar and...
I had the same swelling in the scrotum, mine was the size of a large grapefruit, in fact doing a google search on it, is how I ended up finding the HealingWell website. Mine lasted about eight days...
I was getting quite comfortable with the 45 minutes. We had a romantic beach dinner than went back to the room. A while later my wife suggested, it's still early perhaps we should stroll over to the...
At 10cc I believe my Trimix costs 55 cents per date. Lol...
It was 13 hours out of fridge, but traveled in a small thermal pack with a little ice, in checked luggage. It Was still pretty chilly upon arrival....
On my first big post surgery vacation down in the islands. Been using 10cc since Nov with 100% success, lasts bout 90-120 minutes. Down here bout 45 minutes. Question, anyone experience difference at...
I remember having dry heaves after surgery, most likely from pain meds. And I remember getting up every 90 minutes all night long to urinate. It was one of the worst SE's at the time. It gradually...
Andrew, Read a bit of your blog. Enjoyed the part about attending the Nutcracker production. A few years ago, my wife took me the the local production a couple weeks before Christmas. We had to make...
I waited 11 weeks, I had a previously scheduled trip to Vegas that needed to be completed....
My URO told me to start at .25 and move up to .55. Having read and researched here before trying, I decided to start at .10. That works great and lasts 1-2 hours, the 2nd time I moved up to .11 and...
That stuff is great isn't it! If they sold stock in it, I'd go long (pun intended). Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be....
My first two or three times I drew my 10cc then while it was warming to room temp, I had a stiff mixed drink. After the first few times I discovered that it wasn't necessary, but on occasion I still...
I'm not the expert but I believe 5ml is 500cc, at 20cc per injection, thus 100 jabs from 5ml....
Don't think I can add a thing, I'm like you, I decided on surgery then scheduled it for ten weeks later. Not certain I'd have that long a lag if I had it to do over, to long to think about it. Once...
I was exercising prior to DX, I also had heard that food containing tomato products were good for prostate Health and tried to partake in them as my dad had an enlarged prostate. I was felling great...
Short & sweet answers, yes to question one and no to question two. Your a few months away from feeling like your old self. Best of luck!!...
First week post catheter I got up 6 times per night, now six months out I get up only 1 or 2 times. The six times was a bit annoying. Good luck...
1st 3-4 times I pumped to enlarge the target, now my little guy plumps on his own at the appropriate time as he knows it will be time for fun. I never thought I'd be able to do this, but one second...
I discovered the error of my ways. I didn't understand the bottom of syringe plunger from the top, I apparently cut my .10cc in half to .05 the one and only time I drew it myself. Works again, Merry...
Merry Christmas to all!!!!...
After success first four times, had my first dud last night. There were two changes made, one being as I'm left handed I finally stuck the right side, and secondly I drew the dose for the first time....
I did four nights in Vegas the week before my surgery, I was surprised that I was able to put it out of my mind the entire trip. I remembered shortly after the plane touched ground however. Now it's...
Congrats on the ZERO !!!...
The only question I have at this point is, where is the ignore button I've heard spoken of, where as you can turn off certain members posts??...
I'm six months post RALP now and I can pass gas, laugh, sneeze and everything else without any leakage, just have to give it time....
Update Moved up to 0.11 from 0.10 previously. Difficult to believe such a small increase made such a difference. At 0.10 I was nearly 90% and lasted 45 minutes. With the small increase still around...
I had my first injection at home week or so ago. My doctor had told me to start at 0.25 then move up to 0.50. From what I read here I thought that was a bit much, I started at 0.10 and it was about...
I bought one that was recommended from someone on the New Prostate Info Link before I discovered this site. It was from a UK company called Noggleberry. It works fine and cost app $60 USD with...
In regards to the drain removal, my wife states I acted as though it was wrapped around my vital organs, the CNA's had to consult with my surgeon after they took the first tug on it, before I'd let...
