Hi Diane Hoping this is just a blip, keep us posted!...
So after all that, quest and labcorp are not permitted to test via walkinlab in NY! Just my luck! When we meet with URO next month we will ask for labcorp script with uPsa ... although he may not as...
Hi Diane Can you double check that website for me, it doesn't exist as walkinclinic.com Thanks a million...
Thanks TA, i had no idea about these incisions until i researched last night. Apparently when removing nerves it happens quite often, as you said to even the best of them. The waiting and wondering...
Hi Michael Thanks, yes the G6 at the margin is very appealing and the qty of 4 is very good also. He seemed more concerned with the intraprostatic incision ... i researched this last night and from...
HI Diane They are very similar indeed! I requested a uPsa but the surgeon's practice only does it to 0.00. Does anyone know if you can request a PSA yourself without a script from the doctor and if...
Hi Everyone Last week i had hubbys slides sent to Epstein for a second opinion. I have to say the level of professionalism as i had read here truly is outstanding! Dr Epstein emailed himself from...
Hi Prato Let us know how today goes :) Wishing for the best outcome!...
Thanks so so much to everyone who spent the time to reply and to give their views. And thanks to the comedians who did give me a good laugh! I guess in short what i'm taking form this is that while...
Thanks TA, i misread your first response. I guess its a personal thing whether you feel diet restrictions/changes aid in preventing BCR....
Prato & fiddle that is what i was wondering, thanks for the info. TA and PDA, i was coming at this from the view of how to keep from BCR and avoid fueling the beast because in my mind i was figuring...
Hi Guys Hope everyone is well today! Im hoping you guys can tell me what lifestyle changes you have made since your diagnosis/treatment. Hubby is blessed with regards his weight/fitness level etc BUT...
@Jaybee&GG lol :tongue:...
Another feel good monday story!! Many congrats!...
Lovely way to start Morning, good news stories are always the best!! Congrats and wishing life long zeros :) !!...
Wishing you luck for tomorrow Prato!!! Crossing my fingers for you next week also ;)...
Hi Redwing thanks for that! Tried to find old posts on this but was not very successful! Now where are all the math whizzes lol...
Hi Guys Does anyone know if the PSA amount corolates with tumor volume? Where i'm coming from with this is my hubbys PSA was 5.6 pre surgery - Jan 2017 ... it was 4.3 Nov 2017. Pathology states tumor...
Pratoman, your post is like as if you were reading my mind to the point where tuesday i had my husbands slides sent to Epstein for a second opinion. The very same as you, the report has left us with...
Husband age 50. PSA 4.0 2015, PSA 5.6 2017. PCP referred to URO due to high PSA, no symptoms of any kind. PC found on first biospy....
Unfortunately Nick it seems to be the way it is! I made an inperson apt to discuss my hubbys pathology in person and to get a copy of the report, when he entered the office he asked why are you here!...
Hi Oceanfisher58 There is a very good chance that your PSA is rising from something other than cancer. Waiting the 3 months for the next PSA and then deciding if a biopsy is necessary sounds like a...
Great news!! Enjoy the celebrations :)...
Hi H4H Sorry your here but your results are very favorable as everyone has said which is good news. You could get a prolaris test done on the biopsy, its is a gene test that shows the aggressiveness...
Love good news stories!! Well done! Enjoy the celebrations....
Tommy, I think you would be better serving your needs if you go to a forum dedicated to overall prostate health. From what i gather your initial visit here was when you were in need of advice when...
Sometimes it really hard here to tell if someone is being passive aggressive or if they just have a weird sense of humor? E.g Tommy that last post comes across to me as trying to stir a pot that was...
Thanks pratoman!...
Thanks so much for the input guys! Can anyone shed any light on the area of the prostate that had the epe? Is there an area more prone to BCR than others? Due to the fact its closer to nerves etc....
Hi Everyone Hope you are all well. I wanted to post notables from the final pathology report in the hope that i can get clearer information here than that of the surgeon! While he is excellent at his...
Beth I'm so sorry for your loss, both you and your family have been in my prayers and will continue to be. At last Gary has no pain. May he Rest in Peace....
Beth I just wanted to drop by and tell you what a great job your doing! I have been following this post since you started, you have such strength during the most difficult of times. Your candidness...
To the best of my knowledge the only definitive way to know if the tumor has broke through the capsule is to have surgery. There are ultra sensitive scans that "may" show it I believe but TA will...
Hi John Sorry your here but there are great people here that will help out with advise and support. It seems to me so far your doing everything right, your doing your research, getting opinions etc....
Hi Mrbaseball So sorry that your here but your in good company. There are a lot of great people here to give sound advise and support. My husband was diagnosed earlier this year as a gleason 7 (3+4),...
Aw bill, well you go and enjoy that wine!!! And hoping you'll be toasting for a long time to come! Great news with the PSAS...
Cheers Peter, our surgeons sound similar for sure but my guy is based in westchester, NY and he's been here for over 10 years but like that he seems to be out front on stuff and is also the first for...
Ah TA, think you might have hit the nail on the head. I was just curious especially when it was our surgeon who was promoting it (not to us directly). Assuming cease and desist! I've not seen it...
Hi Everyone So when I was reading up on my husbands surgeon I come across a video from 2016 where he is promoting this HIFU as another treatment option. He explained in the video that it is not FDA...
Almost there! Best wishes, love the attitude!!...
Hi Frosty Sorry your bday falls into the middle of this but try your very best not to let it dampen your spirits. If you type SBRT into the search bar on the top of this page it will bring you up...
Hi Islandtime New and inexperienced here so I hope its ok to give my 2 cents. I imagine 90% of the people on this board who may be facing BCR come to the point of regret and go back to that time they...
Will be thinking of you on the 11th and please keep in touch with us here. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the first two sticky notes on this forum. They are super helpful when you start...
Hi Mrbaseball220 Try your best not to worry, it could still be something other than PC and even if it is PC, as previously stated by the guys here in MOST of the cases it is very treatable,...
Thanks for sharing and congrats!...
@island time .... 🤣🤣🤣...
Hi Sallyyy Glad you found this site, its pretty amazing isnt it! I dont have any knowledge about the treatment type your hubby is on but i wanted to welcome you and tell you that the whiz kids will...
Hi frosty You've found a great site! My husband was diagnoised with a similar Gleason to you earlier this year, he is also relatively young, we also have very young kids so I can relate to every...
Again Thank you everyone. Im thrilled to have found this site, it really has been such a help!! Will be sticking around to try and "give back" to the newbies as so many of you do! And really looking...
:cool: The subject line says it all!!!! Phew, Thank God. Thanks to everyone for all the help the past 3 months :)...
