Nels, I had just typed up a reply but managed to delete it somehow. I used to compete with a stick burner, now I use pellets and a charcoal water smoker. I am happy to answer questions about my...

I went for my post op follow-up appointment Tuesday. The doc asked about my continence and how many pads I was using. I told her I do t use them during the day at home at all and only leak when I do...

Happy New Year everyone! It would have been a little happier if Michigan would have played a little defense today. Larry...
MJ, Did he have treatment for the prostate cancer? My dad had Brachy and external radiation. It killed the prostate cancer, but later he developed bladder cancer. The docs at Washington U in St....
Great News!...
Good to hear the great results Dude! I am looking forward to the T work you are looking into. I am 6 weeks out from surgery, so too early to know what will happen, but I have avoided any T...

As long as there are more good than bad I can’t complain. djin, I changed my signature....
It has been a while since I posted an update. I had the catheter removed on November 30. I had to wait extra days due to the Thanksgiving weekend. I bought a different brand than depends, and they...
My surgery was the first one in the morning and I got out about 10 the next day. Doctor said not driving with the catheter. My wife drove the mile home....
I expect he will call to go over the Path report tomorrow or Monday. It just posted to the app today and at Vandy I get the results when the doctors do....
He was speaking to my wife after surgery, maybe that is the difference....

I had a toe fusion and it was nothing compared to this. Tomorrow is day 4 if you count surgery day so I am looking forward to more improvement. Today started well but went down hill a little as it...
That should have said I don’t hurt much unless I move around....
Day 2 is almost over. I was more worried about what came after the surgery than the surgery. That proved to be true. I knew this part would be hard at first and I am unsure if I had overbuilt it or...
Djin, I have a post started for post op. I added my signature to that one. I was trying not to use too much space just for a question. Thanks, Larry...
Ok. Will do. Vince- bbq brethren has them all the time. The other hot topic is using a binder before you put a rub on the meat. I used to travel around doing BBQ competitions(hence the name)....
Mumbo, I have a pair with snaps I got to try. I also have some real thin sweat type pants with the elastic waists. Just finished breakfast and another walk. Up to 700 steps today. I am very ready for...
Am I supposed to last all my updates on the same thread I started yesterday or do a new one each day? Also, boxers or briefs with cathader? I hope this doesn’t start a fight like fat side up or down...
Thanks Halbert, Naps should come easy after not sleeping in the hospital. They have mainly had me on Tylenol since the surgery. I have made two walks around the hospital floor. They said I get a gold...

Thanks Glen! Hope all gets better for you....
Trail guy, I am aware there may be worse things lurking in the deep. I am making the best choice for me given the information that I had placed before me. If something else comes up we will deal with...

Thanks Terry!...
Thanks for the advice Mumbo...
Jim, Thanks for asking in a thoughtful manner. I was expecting to take some heat over the choice. I did look at the radiation options, but our family history has not done so well with it. Most of the...
I am not sure if I had posted this or not, and a search seems to say I almost did somewhere along the way. I have decided to do RALP with Dr. Smith at Vanderbilt. After the last biopsy earlier this...
I have also decided it is time for me to leave AS. Your PSA is like mine. I have a yoyo, just with larger swings. The perinueral (SP) invasion was what pushed me over. URO said I could go on if I...
Congratulations! I hope to have the same results later in the year!...
Congrats seems like a weird thing to say here. Sorry you had to search the group out. Congrats on the excellent outcome. Congrats most deserved for all the people like me who found this forum and...
