Marko, My MRI's were done at the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis. They were performed on the same machine, but I don't know who the radiologist was. My Urologist, Dr. Figenshau, showed me the...
I had my surgery last week. If there is anything I wish I had done in advance it would have been to take a laxative the night before and then an enema in the morning like I did for my bioptsies. I...
I had the catheter removed bright and early this morning. I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for my appointment. The tube came out and the staples were removed. I spent the rest of the day waiting...
Thanks guys, it's comforting to know that the problems I am experiencing are typical and not the prelude to an infection or other complication. The tube comes out 8:30 Monday morning....
It has now been four days since my RALP. Up until this point the catheter has been a nuisance, but not a major problem. Now I am having some soreness at the tip of my urethra. In the past, I was able...

I was diagnosed with PC in May. PSA 9.9, Gleason 3+3 I chose Active Surveillance. Three months later my PSA is 14.0. Is it time to abandon AS and seek treatment? Would appreciate opinions from the...

I would like to thank those who took the time to respond to my question. I have not been treated for infection or prostatitus, nor am I suffering from any symptoms. I do not know if an fPSA test was...
