Yep...DH is a member of this club to... pT3bN1Mx....
Me neither Thurman......
Let's keep hoping there's something to it...can't hurt right? Dave has been taking Life Extensions Pomegranate 2x daily since diagnosis. Was drinking his 8oz daily too, but just got sick of the...
Sending happy thoughts and big fat ZERO's to you all!!!...
Chas, My heart is literally breaking for you and your family. As a mom with 2 young girls in the midst of a BC unresolved waiting game, this strikes very close to home----and I just HATE everything...
Just as a quick side note...my husband has been on HT for almost a year now (post-op/pre-Adj RT) and has experienced NO side effects at all (except for the fully anticipated ED SE's...but that was...
Prayers have been sent their way......
Hey Miki:) Well that's good news---for now right! Yes, take a breath for a few months and trust that the radiologist sees nothing to be immediately concerned about. I'm very happy that they're...
Yes Sue, I'm waaaayyyy over here---St. John's, Nfld....I literally live in the most eastern house in North America. Next neighbor is in Ireland:) And yes, the waits in the hospitals, scans, Dr,...
Thanks ladies:) I know...it's all beyond frustrating. I did demand the mammo (I mean, do they really think we're just itching to get in the squisher---like it's fun!!). They flat out refused...
Hey Miki, well you know I'm in a similar boat---playing the waiting game....I'm sending you happy and healthy thoughts and prayers. Just remember that 80% statistic that keeps coming up with the BC...
@Moon---lol, it's okay, I try and add a little of my east coast humour to this whole ordeal when at all possible! Only happy if it makes you chuckle! I still have a little of my ha-ha intact;) Over...
Just to add a tidbit on the "free" medical...yes it's "free"...although you may be dead as a door nail by the time you actually get to be seen. On the east coast, we have to fly to Halifax, Montreal...
It's actually scary how inadequate our system can be.... to add insult to injury I found a one inch mass in my axilla---my own Dr deemed it urgent for a mammo and Ultrasound....here we are 10 weeks...
Hi ladies, I just had to join in as yet ANOTHER canuck whose husband's Dr. IGNORED his rising PSA and flags from the lab for SEVEN YEARS!!!! Yet another man at age 57 to be diagnosed with G8 Node +...
My husband had his psa tests done every year from 2005-current...back in 2005 and 2006 it was in 1.5 range---then doctor didn't tell him or inform us of any results after that until it hit 13.8 last...
Just came across this---and thought it was an interesting read---somewhat relating to this discussion:) News & Perspective Drugs & Diseases CME & Education Log In Register printPrint Metastatic and...
Thanks Bill from this wife too:) That was a very helpful and insightful post! Hubby is 12 months post-op (and still on lupron) but I am wondering why his Urologist hasn't even mentioned any of this...
Miki---I am SO happy to hear this fantastic news!!! Congratulations to you both:)...
Welcome pz. My husband had a RP with the knowledge that he would more then likely need additional treatments. However, he really wanted the surgery to get the bulk of the cancer out (I think this was...
So---this lump is getting larger--now my same side boob is aching. Hurts to lie on at night...and the axilla has puckered over the lump, and same side nipple has a prominent vein protruding. Yep....
Watch the youtube video --- "Run From The Cure"....whether you personally believe it or not, it's certainly an interesting and thought provoking hour. My thoughts are: Can't hurt!...
LOL---well that must have been quite the sight ;) Point taken---thank you for the heads up! (I keep wondering if I should make a batch of happy brownies and give them out to friends and family on...
Beautiful words to live by. Needed that tonight. Merry Christmas:) Thank you....
Great report Miki! I think congratulations are in order. I can only wish that Dave's stats were even close to that:)...
Thank you y friend:) I will do that. And yes, Ginger as a suppository would certainly make life....interesting ;) lol...
Thanks Moonlit:) Yes--we're newfie's! No Dr's are willing to prescribe it here (I did ask several) but it seems that they're all scared to death to be the first one to do so.... I'm more curious at...
Thank you:) Yes, it's not exactly easy to get here in Canada either....I have watched all the video's and read the articles, and just can't seem to see any real downside to trying it....if it works...
Hi guys... I'm sure this discussion has been had many times over....but if it's permitted I'd like to hear any and all opinions and personal stories that you have regarding the Rick Simpson Oil....
Thinking of you Miki!! Hang tight---he's in the right place. They'll get their act together and in a few days he'll be right as rain....and ready for you to be the one cleaning his catheter;) PM me...
Happy Birthday!! Here's to many many more:)...
This is a quote directly from the RO: Your PSA is undetectable at less than 0.008mcg/L. Regarding the blood seen in the urine, I am not concerned at this point. Following radiation therapy it is...
Great news!!...
You got that right Ziggy! Nothing much good to say about this whole disease......
This is very informative:...
Thanks guys. We're waiting on the next pee. He spoke to a urology tech at the ER who said not to be concerned unless it continues extensively or even worse, if he can't pee at all. So I'm going to...
Hi guys, Hubby is 10 months post-RP and 6 months post RT...he just peed a full stream of (burgundy colored?) blood. First time this has happened. He does have a cold, so lots of coughing and...
Hi Miki:) Thanks for the advice! I will definitely try those. I just came from the Dr here in Canada---flew home last night....and she has requested an appointment for an Ultrasound,mammo and an...
Hi Miki, I completely understand...I also have a husband with aggressive PCa...and we have 3 and 6 year old little girls...and I also just found a lump in my axilla that is needing a mamo, MRI and...
Hi there,This is my first time on this forum (although a frequent visitor to the Prostate Cancer forum since DH was diagnosed last January...) So call me panicky, but with 2 children under 6, I'm not...
Not one single response to this hey....well so much for that....
Hi all, Just a quick update and a hello from Panama---where we decided to spend our summer. Hubby finished his 34 adjuvant radiation sessions one month ago (psa 0.029 going into rt)....had a psa 2...
High grade, highly aggressive, advanced ect....not many good points on this report....and we knew that ART + HT was a given even before the surgery. So I guess they're just getting with it....they...
Well, after getting his 6 week post-op psa of 0.080, myself and DH were relatively pleased with that number....went to meet with Rad Onc yesterday only to be told that unless its 0.008 then he does...
Hiya, no---no other therapies yet....just the RP. They had warned us going into the surgery that because he had advanced/aggressive Pc, then the adjuvant radiation was almost 100% certainty... So the...
Hi all, I have a little trouble maneuvering this site, so I usually just make a new topic! So hubby just got his 6 week psa.....0.080. Yay! Still dropping. 2 week post-op: 0.548 4 week post-op: 0.122...
Hmmm...changed my (his) signature, but its not showing up...also, I only got one email notifying me of new posts...so my apologies for not replying sooner. I just didn't think anyone had posted! oops!...
Thanks everyone for the kind words:) I should say---it wasn't the surgeon who wanted the psa tests done---it was hubby. LOL. The "not knowing" anything was driving him mad---so he got it checked to...
Hi everyone, just checking in...not much to report. Hubby had his first psa test 2 weeks post-op---it was 0.540, then he did another at 4 weeks post op---0.122 So here's hoping it continues to...
