Thanks, Trailguy. Nice to know you’re out there. Yeah we all pee anywhere it suits.... Just want to make sure it’s outside my pants! 50 miles a week is good running! If I can find the Prostate...
Hi, it’s been a while since I have posted anything, but I want to make sure I get this in. When I was diagnosed in 2015 (deets below) I had run two marathons and was preparing for a third. I had RP...
Hi Paul, I'm also right at 4 weeks out, and so have little to offer other than hearsay (but the source was my surgeon)... My understanding from the Dr. is that frequent urge is common after RP (we're...
Thanks as always to everyone who responded. Taking it one day at a time :)...
Quick note to thank everyone who responded. Catheter stayed in another week, but everything seemed to heal up so that on Day 18 I was liberated from it. I have since talked to a friend whose catheter...
I checked "DRE part of regular physical," but that technically not correct-- it's just the closest answer that fit. The unfortunate truth is that my GP NEVER performed DRE and NEVER performed PSA's,...

The exciting conclusion..... First, thanks all for your input. I really appreciate every note. Right after posting the original entry starting this thread, Saturday night, I peed a bit more, but in...
Very promising!...
Hi everyone. Sorry this is so long. I had an abnormal DRE and a PSA of 5.0 in May. I was biopsied June 15 and was positive in 5 cores, 3 cores were (3+3) at total 95% core involvement (right mid) and...
Thanks again, everyone. jay1957, I may have some running related questions later on. I hope I do!...
Wow. My day has been completely made. Thanks to all of you for your good advice and kind words. My goal, beyond getting through this, is to be as helpful to someone else as you all are to me. Thank...
Hi to all, I got my Dx mid-June (Signature below). Leaning-- 90% decided-- to go with RA prostatectomy. I'm 56 years old. I am located in the Raleigh/Durham area of the US, and am pretty close to...
