I am getting my T level checked for fatigue. Prior to surgery i would never be laying in bed like i am now ever during day. Dr says its normal but if a year ago i could code all friggin night and now...

I don't recommend losing your prostate. But if you need to.... this is a great resource before and after as nobody I have found really wants to talk about it... at all....
I made it through all 4 quarters with undetectable PSA!!! Saw my Dr yesterday all good. While I didn't use this forum before the event I go on here all the time. Its really wonderful the support...
I think they are as good or better overall. That said they are completely different and I would say they are much longer often not as good and often way better. Prior they were almost always very...
How can a person get above 4.0 and not get a biopsy or be spoken to about it? These numbers make no sense to me at all unless its possible to jump from 4 to 1900 plus in 12 months....
Why would u get a DRE if u have no prostate? I am about to get my first primary care physical as last couple years were a bit... off. But i was thinking if they want to do it should i say i got nada...

Great Run! Lots of the top runners get their prostate removed to increase their speed. Without that impediment pace is much smoother and times are shown to drop....
This is an insurance controlled industry. Not to over simplify but auto insurance is much the same. Someone scratched my bumped. Assessed repair 770. Cost of new factory bumper 395. 8 maybe 10...
Ditto Tiger There is a level 4+3 and above anything positive is a huge positive. Higher the number no offense but the lower every odd. But if surgery is a viable endgame v part of solution then...
It is quite common for people to do this as it gives them some measure of control. Being an insider. I am totally a victim of this. It seems every woman remotely related to our circle is aware of...
While others feel differently I went to arguably the best hospitals in the US due to my location in the US. The layout of side effects surgery v radiation etc are factors of three things. Location...
Mike people like that are known to be terrible in bed ! My experience is women are alot more interested not less. Just keep looking. Not sure why it matters to a woman or anyone that actually cares....
If someone cares they care. Health issues are everywhere once you reach 40+. You know in short order if the person you are with is going to support you. You can't know beforehand. As to surgery and...
This disease hits so much in the wheelhouse of being a man it is very tough for a woman to understand because they are women. So although I am married with kids and friends... on this one I am mostly...
I will chime in with my usual statement which is the absolute most important thing in prep for your surgery. HAVE SEX AS OFTEN AS YOUR WIFE WILL ALLOW.... cause that party will be over for a long...
Conditions change in life. I made a decision a while back. But it is good to know there are options. I am pretty sure I am done but as time passes it is more appealing. My wife has several years left...
Young means u can bounce back. I would definitely dig into the research. See the best in your area screw the drs feelings go with the best. You are in no rush but doing nothing (AS) is not a path I...
Good luck. The waiting is no fun. Better to know...
In my case this was absolutely discussed several times by multiple doctors. I am currently researching TESE for a possible procedure down the road. At the time I was really concerned and I still am....
Agree completely a few were more painful. But if the report comes back badly its really doesnt even matter as its one of the lesser things to get done. And with good news it does help ease the mind I...
Happy Birthday !!! Good to see an update from you and hoping you find a path to better times....
Sweet keep them coming!!!...

Runs in your family best case you have a baseline for the future. Good luck...
I just posted this the other day. Our timing is similar. I called my dr and they suggesred working on my abs as i was overstraining my back. Started doing stomach exercises which hurt. Since then my...
Very best and let us know the result. The cycle of stuff happening can be so draining I hope it all turns into something simple....
Could be a sideeffect of medication or psychological due to extreme stress. I would try my "cure" assuming the drs have no answers. Certainly no harm in it I wouldn't think. I think it stabilized me...
I have some appetite but not enough to stabilize my weight. I ate what i can and kept losing. Now i basically torture myself eating the extra sandwich 3-4 times a day when i have no interest in...
No difference so far as I can tell. But stimulation and firmness are impacted which could be viewed as shortening. The firmer the longer i assume. Its that way for me anyway. 1.5 is a huge difference...
I had (hopefully) and didnt fail either test and had no family history of any type of cancer. Its random. Good Luck to you!...
So sorry for my typo. Peanut Butter and Jelly aka pbnj. I have been searching for a way to stop losing weight as i kept dropping and dropping. Looking at bodybuilder sites the theme had lots of...
Weak stomach muscle area was the answer. Told if I work those my back pain should reduce and / or go away. I have a 40 pound 3 YO I gotta lug around sometimes and you need to be tip top to have small...
Wishing you well! I have near zero appetite either went from 180 to 140 at time of surgery. I searched and one consistent weight building strategy is pdnj's basically whenever you can fit one down. I...
I am now nearly 4 months out from removal surgery. I am wondering if others experience back pain and spasms as a result of this operation. I have not seen it on the list but I had none prior to...
No fun having that inserted. Its not flexible at all its a straight pipe up your rear. I bled and sitting in an office chair or car for an extended period that day or next would not be advised. But...
I too find Clocknuts post to be one of the best written I have ever read on here. It must be....
Well I'd agree last thing you need is BS pressure from the least likely source... Might I suggest you invest in some powertools for you to use on her. That should reduce the problem you can get her...
Keep calm and retest. those test vary as others have said. No offense if anybody works these places but my blood tests over the years have come back completely wrong sometimes. I can see it happening...
I did not have high PSA. I did however develop a heart arythmia due to being completely freaked after the biopsy. Probably most are the most freaked right after being told we have cancer....
My statement is / was that as a 6 or even a 7 (3+4) you have time. If you are higher (like me unfortunately) you do not have time. You need to act. My ten cents has consistently been that age and...
Nice! Enjoy being untethered!!!...
You have time and several have given good advise. I will add that your plan could easily be dictated by your available doctors. If you had a top 10 doc in both fields... now then you would actually...
I am in a period of now 7 years of consistent bad news of epic levels I never experienced. Now 3 months past surgery I just hope this was the last for a while. But you just never know....
Age and general health is a huge factor in such a decision. Surgery is quite restricted in whom it's available to as a logical option. All these studies are obsolete the day they are released....
