Thanks for the notes, everyone. Here's to seeing grandkids!...
6 months....
I feel bad for the sellers to have such a poor agent! With a list of disappointed buyers in hand, a good realtor should have been able to leverage a couple of points on the selling price. I'm in San...
Checking in here...haven't had a need to post, thankfully! My SRT seemed to have done the trick with the positive margins and all that crap. My PSA has been steadily <0.01. I feel good, hired into a...
Thx for the quick reply, gents. I'll go in....
Greetings all, Sorry if this question has been asked before.... I had it on my calendar to get my PSA test today. My wife was a little frisky last night and, so, well, no need to get into details. I...
It depends on a few factors. Are you performing well, do you have a good relationship with your sup, do you work for a company that values their employees? My previous employer was great....super...
What a relief to get the effing Foley out. I hated that thing....
It probably took me 5 months to get to 95% continence, so you're in good shape there. What was suggested to me post-op was drink lots of water. Then get in what ever position you leak the least in....
+1 on that. Hands down the best advice I've ever seen on this forum. Not only that, now is the time for any 'special requests.' :smilewinkgrin:...
Hang in there, Jack. Wishing you the best....
Sound like its going good for ya. I can relate to the piece regarding children. Mine are 6 and 8. I've had a great life and if it all ended tomorrow, i'd accept it. Its imagining my family at my...
Like Oprah said, "Eat right and exercise. There's just no other way, baby!"...
FIFY :turn:...
Good on ya, mate! I hope I can say the same in 9.5 years!...
Right arm! Uh, I mean write on! Oh you get the gist :turn: Congrats!...
I'd wish I'd have taken that tumble in the hay with Marylou back in '02!...
I think, to answer OP's question, plants, and lots of them. But also, it's a matter of what I don't eat (or severely reducing eating)...animal protein, sugar, processed/fast foods, soda. It is no...
To answer the OP, nope, but I wish I didn't have positive margins, ECE and an upgraded GS based on post op path report....
Yeah, my surgeon has been great, I got the whole package. I was in the hospital 6 nights due to slow recovery, distended belly. She visited each day except Sat/Sun when duty Uro filled in. She called...
I had slight testicular pain. I hadn't seen a doctor in. Maybe a decade or more, but after a few months thought to get it checked out. Dr said it could be any number of things and ordered full lab...
This is not an end. The road is long, there are lots of bumps. It is slow growing, you have time to get informed and make desicions...and the odds are in your favor...that and there will be...
Hang in there, guy. I hoping the best for ya....
This. There are things we can control, and there are things we cannot. I can control what I eat and if there is the possibility that it will delay any BCR or further cancer growth...well, sh!t...
Sorry I don't know any of those doctors, but I can highly recommend a Urosurgeon, Dr. Dena Lynn Engel at Sharp on Wexford. She has over 1000 robotic assisted surgeries. She sparred both my nerve...
Not t sound crass or crude, but have sex a few times. :yeah:...
Providers are hesitant to leave results on VM, and understandably so. There are things you can control, and things you cannot control. The results are what they are, and will be what they will be....
Nick, I was thinking about a response to this but went to my iMac, as I am a much better typer on a keyboard than on an iPhone!!! As some have mentioned, your continence after RALP is an unknown,...
Holy cow, lapilot, that's a lot of coffee! Despite drinking a cup or two a day, and a few glasses of wine on the weekends, my continence is improving. I got a Lupron shot a couple of months ago to...
After 10 years cancer free, you officially do not have a pre-existing condition. Not such a huge deal if ACA survives. If the special interest paid-out, boot licking, white men in...
Good on ya! Hope you're feeling good. Are you, by chance, a Toffees fan?...
Wishing you the best. Lots of people here can relate to the shock of it all....
RobLee, I feel your pain, man, and wish you the best. Do like I do...to cheer myself up, I turn to alcohol (in moderation, of course =). When I first contemplated surgery, my thought process was,...
Good luck, man. I'm 46 yo, had RALP and don't regret it. I wouldn't have know I was a GS 9 without it. I knew the risks and was willing to live with them. I've said before, I'd rather buy...
Not enough protein. Get a Plant-based protein powder. Go to GNC and ask what they recommend. I've got a basic, but, on a reco, my next batch will be a slow release powder of plant casing...or...
Any diuretic will make you pee more, and soda definitely fits that category. I echo others to say limit your fluid intake of any kind after a certain hour of the evening...after dinner, 7 pm or...
Thanks. I will check it out....
Hello, community, Any knowledge of San Diego-area ROs? I am leaning to get my IMRT done at UCSD Medical, as opposed to my current provider, Sharp/Sharp Rees Stealy. It is my understanding UCSD has...
It's nice to see positive thread here...there is so much gut wrenching here. I've got a Taylor 310ce, and play thru a Fender Acoustasonic Jr, two channels. The Taylor factory is in town. When I went...
I try to keep my worries back burner and live a happy life, but yesterday, this thread got me down. Without a word to my wife, when I got home from work, she was 'ready.' We f-ing rocked each other's...
+1 I got a 6-month shot two weeks ago, and haven't felt anything, really (except a sore butt cheek for a couple of days). I hope my doctors' recommendation of short course HT is just that....
This. My urologist and surgeon are fantastic. The first RO and MO I talked to, not so much. Fortunately, I was able to get a few more options. I am sorry for your husbands situation. Hopefully he...
Hmmm....I have cut down on alcohol consumption, but probably drink more than I should. This should give me reason to cut down even more....
Interesting...my uro surgeon said it would improve over time. I only have intermittent leaking at orgasm, sometimes more than others, and sometimes none at all....
That would have been a deal breaker for me!!!...
You and your husband are your number one advocates. If you don't fight for what you think is right or just, who will? BTW, you have a cool screen name....I dig it....
Good on ya! That is an epic post. I wish you and yours the best....
Thought I'd let you guys know how it went. Offer rec'd. We went back and forth a bit on terms, but before I accepted, I called him and said, basically: " I have a medical condition. I have been...
MO called me today with yesterday's PSA results (6 week + 2 day post op) of "undetectable." Meet with RO Monday, then RO and MO will present to 'the group' to formulate treatment plan. Very impressed...
Was in Borrego Spring a couple of weekends ago....the bloom there was spectacular. I guess a desert lily in bloom is an infrequent event. Apparently, the bulbs hibernate about 3-4 ft underground. I...
