That's really hard to read......
He did stop taking prednisone after about 6 months of starting. I may have jinxed myself by posting. Hope not....
My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer that had already spread to his bladder. He also went to MD Anderson in Houston. If he would have had surgery, they would have removed his bladder. We...
My other half has been on Zytiga since June 2012....
Mel, I'm so sorry to hear this... You and Cheryl will be in thoughts & prayers for a complete recovery....
Jim, You and Karen remain in thoughts and prayers. Much love sent to both of you......
Great news, Beth!...
This was very interesting until I got to this part: "Patients who have had prior chemotherapy for prostate cancer." Mr.WW had 3 rounds of Taxotere/Carboplatin prior to IMRT....
I agree. Especially with an insult out there that I can't touch....
Very interesting articles. Thanks for sharing....
Sue, Wishing you comfort and peace in the years ahead. Thank you for always sharing with us. <3...
Great topic! We will be in San Diego at the end of March, so this gives us some great ideas....
Great news! I echo what Celebrate Life stated about the pestosterone club! :)...
I did find this which basically states in advanced cancer... there is no clear answer. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/prostatecancer/detailedguide/prostate-cancer-treating-p-s-a-levels-after-treatment ...
Ray, You and my better half seem to be following the same course. The only difference is that your T level started rising much quicker than his did. We don't have PSA numbers for October, November or...
You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.......
Personally, I don't see where such a post will help this cause. The petition makes zero mention of Prostate Cancer... so maybe it should either include it, or be posted on the heart disease forum?...
Done! I'm just curious, why aren't the below included on the petition? "Prostate cancer, testicular cancer and penile cancer are biologically unique,"...
Can you please send me your email address? I attempted to send you something a few days ago, but noticed your email was not open. If you choose not to, I understand. Thank you. :smile:...
Sue, Thank you for taking time to contribute an excellent post. My Grandparents passed away within 2 days of each other and I faced this exact issue with their auto deposited social security checks...
Beth, You should "get a second opinion" on that last beer. "It's not that bad," but if you have one too many, "that sucks! :) Andrew, ENJOY!...
I've mentioned this very same subject before. I know when I showed up here, I was beyond thankful for all points of view, all suggestion, and certainly the shoves to get another opinion. The only...
Thanks for sharing! I wonder how long it will be before it is approved for use in the US....
Aumoe ho`olaule`a???? ;)...
Thanks Allen and Gemlin for sharing the links. I read your link earlier Allen, and then ended up reading several other studies. I appreciate that which challenges me to seek further knowledge. Thanks...
Yes, he had samples of some of those pieces as well. I thought it was all quite fascinating, however, I see no reason to keep any around in my house. :)...
That would be really interesting. It's also interesting to note that as we speak (type) the radioactive stuff on an auction site, has a relish tray currently going for 232.00 with an hour to go in...
Lapilot, Have you been spending time with "The Wizard" in Rochester? It sure sounds like it. :) Interesting info you gathered! As a side note, recently learned from "The Wizard", stay away from the...
And the moral of the story is choose your screen names carefully! (laughing) Seriously, if I had signed up as "OMGMyHusbandHasPCaButNowHeGetsToSpendWonderfulTimeWithMeEveryDay," (which by the way...
Worth a bump up.... He is now at 21,988 signatures out of the 50,000 needed. Please take time to help this little man, in his attempt to get others to bring awareness to men, by signing the petition...
Signed and shared on social media. Great effort by this youngster! Kudos to him!...
Your strength and courage are incredibly, Cathy. Thank you for taking time out of your hectic schedule to give us an update. Keeping all of our Pca warriors in thoughts and prayers... and their...
I agree 100%. My posts was based on banking and life experience and not meant as legal advice. :)...
Thanks for all of the great answers! This particular patient has already been proven to be node positive with 3 of the 5 suspicious nodes biopsied and also has mets to his liver. Surgery seems like...
I really try to stay on top of things and aside from some recent confusion with Tall Allen and I about scans (my fault) via email, I think I do a pretty good job. However, I belong to a cancer...
Make sure that 3 ring binder on the shelf is in a firebox. :) Also, to avoid complications, make certain all jointly held accounts read Mr. or Mrs. and not Mr. AND Mrs. Same for safety deposit...
This is a great thread! The only other thing I would also put out there... ....and then there are those who have separate property acquired before their current marriage, with children from prior...
I just wish the incompetent GP would have told my husband that he was actually doing annual PSA tests since he was 40, gave him the meaning of the test, and had given us the frickin' results. There...
Very nice gesture. I would consider donating Southwest miles as well....
Agree 100%!...
Yes... husband's story is almost identical to that of "Almost A10," in terms of being diagnosed later than he should have been....
49.... but likely at 42 with a decent doctor....
He didn't have RP...he had IMRT....
Husband went to GP due to weak stream. Had been having PSA test since he was 40 with annual wellness exams but never knew it. Had a PSA of 4.8 when he was 46 but was never told. Looking back at prior...
Congratulations! I hope you thoroughly enjoy your retirement and travels!...
Allen, Is there a time limit in which one can have original biopsy samples sent off to have re-evaluated? More specifically, is 4 years too late? Thank you....
Deanna, I am so sorry. I wish I could find proper words of comfort... I suspect there are none. You've been a wonderful caretaker of such a brave fighter. Please try to find some time to take care of...
Jerry, That is the route MrWW took. Early Taxotere/Carboplatin in January 2012. He was scheduled to begin in September 2011 as immediate 1st treatment with Lupron and Casodex but his oncologist said...
All of these insurance questions also make me question what happens to those who choose AS over treatment. I had never really considered that aspect before....
Sophie, My email is always open and I am willing to lend an ear....
