Thanks again for all the great advice! Especially on the prostatic nerve block. I will definitely keep that in mind when I go! You all are always the best!...
I generally like roller coasters and will ride any but this is one that I hate and wish I have never gotten on. And since for some reason my signature never shows let me catch you up to speed. My...
I sincerely want to apologize to all you here for my pettiness and down right babiness. All of you are going through so much and my situation is minuscule to yours. I have wasted your time for having...
Thanks Micky! I have a couple of friends who had their prostate surgery at Wake Forest and they did well. Just hadn't heard of this particular doctor....
Finally got my blood work results back today. PSA came down from 5.1 to 3.5. Also had the free PSA checked this time and it was 15.7. I'm assuming this is basically borderline between high risk and...
What I am really wondering about is the free PSA number and the PHI number. I get the PSA part but; no offense to anyone here, but I'm just a simple hillbilly who has lived his whole life in the...
It may show on this one....
I went into the edit my profile and in the signature area put in my history; which is limited at this point. However, here is what it suppose to show. Age 44 12/27/16-PSA 5.1 No prior PSA to set a...
Thanks Michael_T, Andrew, and Paxton for the great advice! And that's my thoughts exactly. If it is something then I want to get a quick start on it. I have a great friend who did the active...
Well, I'm sort of anxious but also sort of dreading my PSA recheck this coming Thursday. As most of you know, my first PSA came back at 5.1. Been on antibotics and now it's time to see what has...
Actually my pharmacist did suggest for me to purchase the rest with cash and he assured me that it really wasn't expensive but I was like you Michael_T I thought 4 weeks was a little extreme....
Somebody please explain this to me. My doctor prescribes for me to take 4 weeks of Cipro because I had a high PSA at 5.1 and then come back for a recheck. I take 2 weeks and had to go back to...
Here is the link that really caught me specifically about milk: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/does-milk-lead-to-prostate-cancer/ And Tall Allen anytime you in Southwest Virginia you can look me up...
I have been researching and reading everything regarding prostate problems while I am waiting for a second PSA test. Does anyone here find it to be truthful about the red meat and dairy consumption...
Thanks Tall Allen and Hope4all! I know this is probably wrong of me but right now I haven't consulted an urologist. I'm still going through my PCP. Now before you fuss at me; LOL, where I live we are...
First let me say that I'm sorry this question may be stupid or simple but I'm new at this. As I previously posted before I'm only 44 but had my PSA test come back at 5.1. Sort of shocked men but...
Will be praying for you. You have come a long way so stay positive!...
Here's some more information based on what has been suggested so far: No bicycle riding or sex before the test. No possiblity that it is a STD. Married for 25 years and 100% faithful on both sides....
Thanks! I forgot to mention that we have ruled out a UTI or bladder infection. He wanted to try the Cipro for 4 weeks to see what that does to the count....
Curious as to your thoughts: I am a 44 year old male who is in general good health other than a little over weight. However, I have been having issues with my prostate. Frequent urination, low flow...
