I used to come on here all of the time, but like others have said sometimes you just sort of move on. I had my 5 year checkup from my robotic surgery and still remain at <0.1, so feel totally awesome...
I am exactly the same way, when my grandson runs up to jump in my arms, while jogging, lifting something heavy there can be some leakage, but nothing huge. So I would say I am in the 99% club. Just a...
So glad for you!!...
Went to my urologist and got the news of a fourth year of <0.1. The day of waiting is always a tough one. I count myself as one of the lucky ones, while my PSA had been rising for several years, the...
Glad you had a good visit and have a decision. My advise is always, breathe, think about it, breathe, and come to a decision that is right for you. Best of luck....
I just did the Dad's Day 5K run in downtown Houston on Saturday. This is my fourth year as a survivor, but I ran it in honor of my dad and in memory of both of my grandfathers and two uncles. I...
I am definitely not an expert as I was only on Trimix for 3 months. I would have 3.5 hour erections and when I talked with my URO, he told me (like others have here) to drop the dosage slowly till...
Totally understand your thought and reasoning. I was an elementary principal working 80 hours a week and had already decided to retire in June 2014, then in May I got my results from my annual...
You have received some great advice and I wish you the best. I'm in the Woodlands, so not too far. If you are a runner, there is a Dad's Day 5 K in downtown Houston. Good luck!...
Congrats on the last visit and sorry about the food poisoning. Living outside of Houston I know how good MDA is with everything. Cheers and blessings!...
Sounds as though you are on tract. I am over 3 years out now and as someone said, it becomes a memory. Only time I have any trouble now is in picking something up - like a 5 year old grandson running...
I had mine taken out on day 6 and had no problems. I imagine it just depends on how well you heal. The drops of blood are normal from what I was told. Best of luck as you continue....
Sorry about your news. I met with all possible options before making my decision. Good luck as you make the right one for you....
Fantastic!!!...
Skiing Texan - it is downtown at the Wortham Arch. Here is the website where you can sign up. Be sure to sign up as a SURVIVOR: http://dadsday5k.org/ It is a good run, but it hot....
Those are the Zeros we want! Yea!!!...
Htownman and ddyss - I had my surgery at Memorial Herrmann in The Woodlands. I have no problems with anything - one of the lucky ones. I did have to use Trimix for about 3 months and take 5 mg of...
I had my 3 year follow-up yesterday and was awaiting the results and they are in . . . "PSA undetectable, great!" <0.1 I always feel the relief as many of you know when I get these back. While I...
While I chose surgery, I did look at all options prior to making a final decision. I just think it is best to consider all options so that later on there is not the question of What if?. Once we got...
That is a bunch of stress to deal with. I go Tuesday for 3 year check up, never think about it until the day of, then anxious until results come in. Hoping for another 0....
I was very fortunate that my doctor talked about all of those with me. He shared that to many men the lack of semen being ejaculated was the toughest part. I count myself as one of the lucky ones as...
I take that same dosage about 2 times per week now. I wake up with night time erections most every night, I would just celebrate if I were you. I was on Trimix for about 3 months and those erections...
So Sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I have followed your posts, but didn't comment. Praying for peace for you during this time....
First so sorry that you are encountering this. Many people will give you pros and cons of both procedures. I decided for surgery and had DaVinci, but others with the radiation route. I think you have...
I understand your feeling of loss. My mom passed away when I was 19 and then my dad passed away almost three years ago. The pain really never goes away, but you do get through it. Memories become...
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Cherish the memories and I pray for comfort....
Glad they found it and everything looks good. Hope it all continues to go well for you....
Hang in there. Just like others have said it takes a while. I had surgery one August, and started on Viagra one month out - but it did nothing but make everything very bright. I then started on daily...
I am a half marathon runner. I had my surgery August 8, 2014. After the catheter came out, I started walking. I walked until a month after surgery - got up to a 5K. Started a very slow jogging at a...
My dad was a 3 + 4 and mine was 4 + 3. My grandfather was diagnosed at age 75, but had no score that I knew about. He decided to do no treatment at all....
Great news, once I got that out, recovery went fast. Take your time and listen to your body. You will do great....
You should be okay as long as there are no complications. Once I had the catheter removed I was able to do anything I wanted to do. Best of luck....
I am participating as well. I've done this for several years, first for my dad, then for me....
Glad your surgery is over. I haven't been on much so didn't see your posting until today. I had my surgery a little over two years ago. Listen to your body, do as much as you feel like. I have been...
I am sorry to hear of your loss, but glad you have so many memories to cherish....
Always great news to get a zero! Congrats....
Had my annual check up last week and results are back. Had prostate removed two years ago and continue to be cancer free - another zero - if those actually exist. Those days of waiting are always...
Great news. Congrats. I go Monday for my 2 year check up....
"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we are here, we may as well dance."...
Mine is August 8. Two years since surgery. Those couple of days before and after are ones that I try to keep extra busy on and just not think about it. Best of luck to others....
Great news on the report. I go in about a month for my two year check up. I don't really worry, but am always glad when it is over. Enjoy and celebrate!...
Joe, I run about 1,000 miles a year (that is my goal) and I was back to jogging very slowly after 3 weeks - with my URO's permission. Since I usually go about 20 miles a week and had no problems...
Unfortunately it starts at 8, so temperature is on the rise at that time. It is the one at the Wortham Arch in the theater district....
Today I ran my second Dad's Day 5K run as a survivor. All proceeds go to prostate cancer research and many were there from MD Anderson here in Houston. Previously I would run this in honor of my dad...
Glad you are recovering well. Listen to your body, do only the things you feel like doing. Glad you stopped the Kegel, I didn't do any with the catheter in. Continue to heal!...
Welcome to the group, sorry you have to be here. When I discovered I had prostate cancer, my first thought was panic, but then I decided on the following: Get a second opinion on your prostate...
I know for me, I had been researching for a year or so because my PSA went up some from one year to the next, plus I have the family history of both my dad and my grandfather having prostate cancer....
Congrats on being done. Take it a day at a time, listen to your body. Once the catheter comes out, it goes much better. You got this. :-)...
Congrats on making it through. Best of luck as he recovers. Once the catheter is removed, life improves greatly. I walked as much as I could, but when I was tired, I simply rested. I am a runner, so...
I can't speak about the Viagra as it just made me see bright lights and a blue hue. I did do the Trimix shots for about 3 months and they worked great for me. My cost was $98 for 2 frozen vials that...
