Thanks for sharing peanut, He did not have any nodes radiated. With the scans they did they said that they were not showing any involvement. I am unsure how accurate scans are at being able to tell,...

Hi guys, Thanks very much for the feedback. Kind of relieved that your opinion is consistent with the docs. I think the idea of possibly doing chemo early was the assumption that he has Mets although...
Hi all, Wondering if I could get some feedback or advice. My father is a g9, 12 of 12 positive. So far all body scans, bone and mri have shown no evidence of cancer outside of his prostate. Psa was...
Thanks Chas, He was actually back in there today with more spasms. They decided to do the cysto. Results came back all clear, uros words were 'bladder looks perfect inside'. Still no answers......
Thanks all for the comments... does anyone have a guess on what may be causing this? His urologist seems to be stumped as well. Find it very odd that clearly the cath started the spasms (they started...

Thanks Hawaii. Great info. For some reason when I asked his urologist about brach, he said he didn't think he would be a candidate for it. I'm am unsure as to why as it seems to be a desired...
Thanks Andrew!...
Hello all. We have been patiently waiting to get in for a mri. I was told today that the reason for the wait is because the mri can't be done until 6 weeks after the biopsy. Reason is because the...
