Thanks guys! jronne, I don't know the ends and outs of the PSA number. Since 2013 there have been both normal and the other high sensitivity one ( whatever it's called). The latter has been used...
Oh no, I'm so sorry to read this. :( RIP 142...
Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted and wanted to give a quick update. It has been 2500 days today, since I've had prostate surgery. I'm still downloading 0's according to that blood...
For what it's worth, I've had trace amount of blood in my urine since forever. 3 years ago my uro doc did a cystoscopy and found nothing. Every time I do a "pee in the cup" at the GP's office, they...
Just got home from my last 6 month Urology appointment. :) PSA was <0.01 five years to the day since surgery. Doc said see ya next year! :D...
5 years post op for me. 100% ED without meds, and about 75% with them. -.- sigh......
Yeah, I always wonder if the result will be higher than 0.01. I get lab work every six months. I don't think I'm hyper about it or worried even. Gives me the opportunity to visit with the nurses. lol...
What about the 'Not sure I even had cancer to begin with.' question. I had surgery 5 years ago next week, and NOT ONE DAMN THING HAS CHANGED, except the erections are forever gone. So, my answer to...
My 4 year post surgical PSA is <0.006. I'm still on 6 month checks....
Just got back from the doc and I found out my PSA test was <0.015 Ultra Sensitive from Labcorp. I have a little bit of apprehension every six months. :-\ It has been 3 years and 5 months or 1243 days...
I should get my T score from 2012. After I was diagnosed with PCa doc wanted to check T levels. I would be interested to see where it was and how much it has dropped....
Thanks Allen. My July PSA test this year was 0.01, I'm on 6 month testing. And yeah, Low-T sucks, no energy, can't stay awake, always dragging around, and so far at least, my "desire" hasn't been...
Hi everyone. I had my my T levels checked at my yearly, and the doc said they were on the low side, 314 to be exact. I have been refereed back to my uro for discussion about possible treatment. What...
Born in Conway, SC but lived 14 miles away in Myrtle Beach, SC for 17 years. Moved back to Conway and have been here ever since. I'm a simple man and the song too......
I'm in the "climacturia" camp 808 days (2.3 yrs) out from surgery. I have zero Peyronies. I'm 100% continent and using 20mg cialis. I'm also on tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day to help me pee. :sad: One...
Prior to 2013, the year of my surgery, I dabbled in photography. :-\ I'm starting to get interested in it again. I use a Canon 5D with a few different lens. Here is where I keep my pictures....
The 7 hours was OR and recovery. I was in recovery about an hour. I doubt I was head down for 6 though....
I didn't even think of asking the eye doctor about a possible link to my type of surgery. I was pretty stunned about her saying I had glaucoma. I never would have guessed that in a million years. I...
Has anyone ever developed eye problems in the first few years following a da Vinci robot prostate surgery? It has been almost two years since my surgery on March 22nd 2013, and also 2 years since I...
Thanks guys!...
Great news!...
Been a long time since I've posted here, I do drop by every now and then though. Had appointment with Uro today and got my 22 month PSA result, the PSA was 0.0! I had a RP in March 2013. Life is...
I had Propofol Wednesday for my cystoscopy, doc used the rigid scope and did two bladder biopsies. I don't remember a thing. I was out fast and they say I awoke right after the procedure....
So I went in this morning for a scope of the urethra and bladder for possible scar tissue or strictures restricting urine flow. I ended up getting two bladder biopsies. :sad: Doc said everything...
Sorry you're here and also glad you're here. You found a good place with lots of info and people to share their knowledge and experiences! I was a G7 (3+4) and had the robot surgery 17 months ago....
I'm on Flomax because it's taking to long to pee, and is the reason the doctor is going to go in a take a look around next week. I get dizzy spells or light headed when standing up from sitting, and...
Sad news. Condolences to his family....
Thanks for the wishes guys! Not sure why they would list it as 0.00 instead of <.01, but anywho, I still have a big smile! lol Today my shoulders feel lighter....
Just got the PSA report from the doc this morning, and after having PSA lowering surgery 17 months ago, it came back at 0.00 I'm assuming this was a standard PSA test and not the ultra. This result...
He didn't mention a TURP, not sure he would do that since I no longer have a prostate. He just talked about possible dilation at the bladder neck, and mentioned I may need a cath for a couple of...
I guess the good part is, the doc said I would be knocked out. Not looking forward to the 3 day cath either. At least I know how that part is...lol...
Yep, he feels I may have bladder neck strictures. :-( The "stream" has been getting slower and weaker since surgery. I'm SO not looking forward to this. He did say he would sedate me, because he may...
I started Bimix at .20 and it did nothing. I'm using .60 now and getting about 45 minutes worth out of it....
I know more awareness is needed for this killer disease, but I'm not sure a DRE during a baseball game while singing "Take me out to the ballgame" is the way. Myrtle Beach Pelicans GM story ...
Thanks for the replies. Okay, I tried again with the 27g 1/2" needle and it worked I think, which leads me to this question. With injections, does it require stimulation like Viagra does to get fully...
I don't think it will matter since I had no erection from the miss injection, just resulted in a lump of fluid under the skin. Actually, the 27g 1/2" doesn't feel that bad, most people cringe at the...
New to injections and I think I missed the mark on injection #4. Didn't get any reaction except a red lump on the side. Weird looking to say the least. :-\ Doc started me with 27g 1/2" needles and...
I was taking Cialis 5mg daily, then I moved to Viagra 50mg whenever needed. Now I'm doing injections, using Bimix .60 dosage, nets me about an hour and adding the Viagra here and there....
Congrats clock! Such good news is pretty awesome!...
I had my first injection this morning. It was a very odd doctor appointment to say the least. I can't add much to this discussion, but after 16 months of nothing, I made the appointment last week and...
So sorry Nancy. My heart aches for you. Prayers for you and your family....
Thanks for the replies. Hmm I held my finger over the naval incision and coughed, I can feel a slight bulge or rise in the incision. It didn't hurt. At times it feels like a cramp type of pain right...
Hi guys. I'm 14 months out from robot surgery and 2 of the "holes" (the incision above the naval and the next one over on the right side) for the robot arms are still bothering me. It's not a...
I have nothing to add than what has been said already. I chose surgery. Oncologist recommended surgery, and then if ever needed, I could fall back on radiation....
David, so sorry to hear this news....
Congrats on your PSA number!...
Thanks Gedman and David Another question, Will my PSA ever level off and remain constant or will it always fluctuate? I know the difference in the numbers now is very minor, but I wish they were more...
Okay, thanks y'all! Forgot to mention, the doc moved me to 6 month appointments. That sounded good to me! Other than the ED, I am feeling pretty well!...
I had my 381 day post op visit and PSA test yesterday, everything is still looking good even though I seem to be bouncing around the number chart a bit. The PSA was 0.03 according to my doc. This is...
Just got home from a long day in Charleston, SC. It was a great visit today, my PSA 381 days out from surgery is 0.03! The beer is in the cooler and on the house!! :D :yeah:...
