Since my last post I have found a urologist who sees no reason for me not to go ahead with PAE, but I need to be closely monitored afterwards. So I am looking forward to the op inside the next month....
Hi Bob, Leukemia & atrial fibrillation, don't worry about my prostate! I hope you have good doctors looking aftre you. Me, as I said I have low grade prostate cancer which was detected over 5 yrs ago...
I was on this thread aprox 20 mths & said I'd come back to say how the GG vien embolization turned out. I'm afraid to say there has been no improvement on my BPH. My low grade cancer is still under...
Zoesman, Did you gain any benefit from the ISV embolization? You waited a long time before your PAE which you must have decided on as you're symptoms must still have been intolerable. I've had ISV...
Going into a vein is considerably easier & much safer - when my Varicocele was done the radiologist went in up by my neck, I could watch the whole procedure on the screen myself. For PAE they go into...
It would appear to me having read a lot now about GG, which if you speak to an interventional radiologist is basically the same procedure as Varicocele, is that it should cost less to carry out than...
Frank, He had a few problems after the op. because he had a General Anaesthetic which effecting him adversely as he has ME. It would appear that his symptoms have improved just a few wks. after the...
Back again, just to say a very old mate of mine who now lives in Tassi had PAE carried out in Sydney about 6 wks ago. He is really pleased with the results although he is probably not the type of...
Well after having GG 8 months ago I have noticed little difference in my BPH. If I come off my Tamsulosine after about 3 days I can hardly pee. Should I go back & look at collaterals? The other...
I am about to have my 3rd template biopsy because a small 'nodule' was seen on my last MRI. After my last biopsy I had all the usual after effects that everyone expects although my ejaculate did not...
BPHOrC A template biopsy will not only tell you if you have cancer but also if it is aggressive or not, which is extremely important. An MRI will more reliably tell you where & how much cancer is...
DUSAB. Just saw your comments a little earlier which looked interesting. I had both R. & L. ISV's embolized. I was able to see the result on the monitor; it was a v. successful procedure. No...
Any good Interventional radiologist can do GG. There are a number of other procedures which are very similar. Because it is not usually done in the UK I'm afraid I'm unable to recommend the person...
Have had GG done yesterday in the UK. I wait to see if I have a good result....
Chicago Dave, Have been away so excuse the late reply. I have been in touch with Gat Goren also a hospital here in England The Spire Southampton where a Dr. Nigel Hacker does PAE. I have also been in...
Hi, Just joined this forum. I have been looking at PAE & then come across Gat Goren. I have low grade prostate cancer Gleeson 3+3 & have been on active surveillance since 2011 & the cancer has not...
