Otis, Yeah during the day it feels like i am full and ready to urinate and then very little. At night, I fill up the pad to the max, i could sleep through it but i don't then when i get up - i...
Also, Has anybody kept track of how many guys actually have a rise in psa after having 0's, Is there a percentage or something, or is it a matter of time and everyone's will start multiplying? Just...
Have any of you guys been experiencing some wetness, with a small urination during the day but 2 SOAKING PADS per night and when i get up to change them - i piss like a race horse....
I see it hasn't but the MODERATOR said that should be expected, so I am trying again....
Thank you for providing the info for my signature, hope it works. Gene...
Thanks alot. I'll try it. Gene...
Hey Dowstrategy, From one Marine to another, Semper Fi Brother. When I came on this site originally, I think I came on to heavy but after awhile by reading the posts, I understand alot more but there...
Good Report and upbeat as well, keep up the good work. On a personal note; how do you add your information to the bottom of your posts; you must be able to do it once- right? Thanks...
Hi, This is probably not the right site for me to ask this but; how do you add all your information to the bottom of your posts. You must be able to do it once and it always comes up - Right? Thanks...
Incho, If that's the case then I will refer to you as "Ultra-Incho" meaning "Ultra-Mature". Maybe I should ask the MODERATOR about the additional findings. Actual, I text-ed my doc and he said "not...
Incho (what does Incho mean?) Anyway, It shows us both that you never know and endless worry doesn't make it better (or maybe it does) since the hubby got better, anyway you know what I mean. Hang in...
Incho, I am on the same page as you. That is why I introduced myself to this site with that fine statement; Is there anybody out there that can tell me what really is going on? Why are there so many...
Incho, I like the Dr.Catalano site, don't you? He really seems to know what he is talking about, not that I would know if he didn't know what he is talking about, you know what I mean. So, what are...
OK Guys, Next title for discussion is; Additional Pathological Findings; on your pathological report. Does anyone have; HGPIN or Malakoplakia? I'll bet you don't. I beat you guys on this one too....
I am happy with it. I bet him on the premise that <0.01 was lower than<0.03 and it is - correct? Because 1/100th is lower than 3/100th - right? So I still get the 10 and I am telling the truth. Man,...
HI Incho, Did your number go way up from <0.06 or did they get it wrong the first time you got it done. I am praying for you kiddo, you seem like a good guy and hope for nothing but the best for you....
Moderator, I need the 10 bucks so i win. But not to slice hairs, if you get the test done and it goes to <0.01, it's testing to a lower level of psa then if the test went to <0,05 - right? See, so I...
Thanks to both of you. I will have to see my friend and get the ten bucks from him, I won. INCHO welcome back, Is everything ok. I really was concerned for you. I hope you are well. Gene...
Can anyone out there tell me which psa result is considered better < 0.01 or <0.03, I bet somebody today that <0.01 is lower than <0.03. I figure that .01 is one tenth and .03 is three tenths -...
Thank you TIM and FORUM MODERATOR, It doesn't take too much "banging of my head" to realize that <0.01 is UNDETECTABLE - Does it? I just have to "cool it" if I can. I go away from the computer and...
Incho, I hope everything is turning ok for you?...
One more thing then I am probably done asking questions-really. Does ANYBODY come out of surgery with a complete 0, as in .000000000 -ANYBODY???? It seems to me that nobody is ever completely...
I'll tell you, you guys are great. I hope I can help out as a "new-bee" with all these questions because you guys have been through it for some time as I can hear. It seems that I found the right...
Hi Incho, WELL SAID. I had a bad year, my sister passed from bone cancer brought on by Breast and Lung cancer and my brother in law (my sisters husband) who was closer than a real brother to me,...
Worried Guy, Thank you. I guess you know that "Not Identified" means the pathologist couldn't find any cancer, I got that confirmed by my surgeons office. Peter, Thank you for the calculator work, I...
I guess I am talking to myself on here but what the heck it saves me from going to the Bar. anyway, I called my surgeons office (Samadi) and spoke to Arta who pulled up my Path Report and went over...
another question i have, on my post-op pathology report: what do they mean when it is reported like this; Seminal Vesicle Invasion: NOT IDENTIFIED (I TAKE THIS AS THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY INVASION, CAN...
Thanks, Inchoation. I am a Gleason 7 (4+3) but Organ Confined so I am either in the 6.6-11.0% or the Organ Confined percentage of 0.8-1.5%. I wonder which one?...
Riverunner, Thanks for the post. Sometimes it is hard to keep the faith. My wife also has me sleep on a "pee pad". Congrats on the report. Gene...
Thank you Peter and Inchoation, I have been thinking something was wrong with me. I am doing the Kegels (hope I am doing them right) about 50-60 a day. I am just over 2 months since the surgery and...
I found Dr. Samadi to be a fine man, great doctor and nice guy. I am sure he is extremely intelligent. When I got my results, I think he was rushed and short with me, but usually he is always there...
So, your numbers fluctuated (and went down). Just trying to get a feel with all this. I guess they can go up and down as long as they don't get to 2.0, is that the case. Thanks...
If I am reading you right, those 3 tests were done on 3 completely different machines? Possible from 3 different labs?...
So, what are you showing iSpark? That the numbers flucuate all the time? That they use the < sign all the time or what? I am just getting used to the Lingo. Thanks...
Hey F8, It just came out wrong. I should have known that people are nervous (like myself) but I am the same as alot of guys, if it is undetectable then it should be zero but someone explained that...
Thank you guys, I really didn't want to give unwarranted stress to anybody. This was my first post anywhere and didn't know what to expect. I hope my question did not sound like an accusation that...
That is about all i have. How does all of that look to you guy's. I'm really new to all this. Thank you for anything you can give me. I was a wreck until some of you gave me hope....
