Hi everyone. Was having some discomfort in my knee in the side. Needed to go for MRI but covid broke out. Fast forward took an MRI and said advanced osteoarthritis in back of knee ,torn meniscus and...
That's why I posted this thread- to alert EVERYONE to get a second opinion- this urologist thought he knew it all When I told him I was going for a second opinion he said " I bet it was meta static"...
I am the wife of a prostate cancer survivor . It's has been a few years since diagnosis -he had a radical prostatectomy and Thank G-d all is well. the reason I am writing to those who are newly...
my husband just had the radical prostatectomy and his doctor is giving him 20 mgs of sildenafil (viagra generic) even with the catheter in....its supposed to help blood flow...

Hi Jim, reading your thread since you had answered mine (regarding hubbys thigh numbness and testicle enlargement after surgery) he went to sloan kettering and in the new Josie robertson satellite...
Hi everyone-my husband had robotic surgery on the 28th of January in Sloan Kettering with doctor Vincent Laudone, a really good surgeon with a great bedside manner also. Hubby has a catheter and has...
I agree Halbert. Glad we live near this world renown facility :smile:...
And yes, MSK is very reputable and this doctor has alot of experience in genitourinary oncology....
Yes Pratoman Dr Morris is highly recommended at MSKCC where we went. He explained options to us and getting it all out is the way to go. Yes, he has a Gleason 7 which is intermediate, its not like a...
Thank you all,thanking this support group for all the info and if I can help anyone with posting how crucial it is to get another opinion especially from the oncologist who specifically deals with...
My husband was diagnosed with metastatic PCa to the pelvic bone in late August. His PCa had gone from 3.6-7.8 in six months and a bone scan done from his urologist showed pelvic met. He was started...
. Dr Morris from MSK is putting Sam through another set of scans (even though he saw the bone scan with dye from north shore hospital ) he's going to have bone density one day, MRI ( I don't know if...
SammysWife, 3+4 is generally better than 4+3 in that the type 4 cells are more aggressive than type 3 cells and in 4+3 disease the type 4 predominate. But it's not always a big difference. If the...
Hi logostat. Thanks for your reply and appreciate your input but hubby never had surgery, he was at a urologist when his PSA doubled in 6 months from 3.6 to 7.18. His father and brother had prostate...
my hubby saw oncologist Dr Michael morris at MSKCC Oct 27. He is sending my hubby for bone density,MRI,lab tests and other tests. On some lab reports its says cT2 and possible M 1. He is taking...
[sub] hi everyone, I know it sounds quite simplistic but I have been reading the gleason threads and saw that a gleason 3+3 is a score that probably wouldn't metastasize. My hubby was diagnosed with...
Hi everyone- I appreciate all your input about the other thread I posted about my husband's diagnosis. The question, the CONFUSION that I have about PSA numbers are...... if my husband was checked...
I again appreciate all of your input on this thread,you are all wonderful,encouraging,and I wish you all the very best of health in the years to come. We are going to see a Dr Michael Morris, he is...
Deanna, I too see how caring and supportive you are to others -and I'm sending prayers, hugs, and letting you know that hospice was a godsend to my mom. My thoughts are with you both. Joyce...
To everyone that has responded to this thread I thank you for all your input and support in giving me direction to help my husband. We live in long island so I was able to make an appt for him to see...
I also belong to another forum but I know the ladies there didn't mean to freak me out but a response I has gotten to something was a little unnerving..... Sam my husband just started (about a month...
someone in another forum mentioned a geniurinary medical doctor or oncologist, is this in addition to the urologist? also, as I mentioned the urologist started him on lupron, casodex, and will give...
Deanna Kay: I'm so sorry for what you and your husband are going through-reading your story shows how very lucky your husband is to have you and vice versa. Wondrous will be the day when they find a...
I wanted to ask another question, as you are all very helpful. When the biopsy is taken, and the pathologist studies the cells, HE (the pathologist) is the one who is able to know which cells they...
I really really appreciate everyone's input here, because being new to this (who even knew prostate numbers before this?) I'm picking up information that I never knew before (hubby also) . I live in...
Also forgot to say my husband's urologist says it's stage 4-saying anytime it goes outside to a bone somewhere it's that stage. Again my head is spinning so I'm trying to absorb as much information...
I really thank all of you for responding to my post,I think part of my problem is the fact that I lost my mom from rectal cancer this past November and as her only child I went through each step...
Thank you for your reply Andrew. I asked Dr regarding radiation and he said something about if someone has bone pain they usually do that maybe his his a little differentiated on his pelvic area. He...
