J's Wife - I wonder if you continued your quest for the PSA lowering diet. We haven't been dx'd yet but it sure is heading that way and I'm just trying to see if we can do what we can, diet wise, to...
Hi Biker 'Wish I had good news but not so much. The last PSA he had done was in 2010 and it was a 5 - somehow he was never told that he had this elevated reading. Hmmmm - not happy about that. The...
Thanks, also, to Denis. Best idea - learn as much as you can, keep up with the latest, best information and treatments then just try to put it out of your mind and go on with your life. After my...
Hey Biker, just about one day to go. I can't tell you how your kind posts have helped me. As I said we don't have a lot of friends - pretty much just the two of us. I can't talk to him as I don't...
Hey Biker, Yes, my husband and I are "loner's" too - that's why the very idea of him being really ill is mind boggling to me. I went through that with my darling mom with home hospice. As soon as he...
Hi Biker - just wanted to stop in and say hi! "Our" urologist appointment is 1 PM Thursday. Still very anxious - 'hope I last until then! I feel I can hardly breathe. Counting the hours but trying...
Hi Bikerdude My husband and I are in the same boat - well, you are a paddle or two ahead of us as you have your PSA score. Seems nice and low. My DH has Crohn's disease and while having his yearly...
Hi, Its me again! Trying not to consult with Dr Google but....I had a question on this topic and then had a problem in what Dr. Sartor said regarding patient #1. At one point he said the man...
Plus it notes that PC not detected by PSA have a worse outcome. Ouch....
Here is that scary article I was talking about: anything positive to walk away with?? http://www.practiceupdate.com/content/worse-prognosis-among-older-men-diagnosed-with-prostate-cancer/61025...
I'm humbled by all the wonderful advice I've received since I arrived here the other day. I knew this was a great site with great people! "Hitchhiker" - thanks to you for the kind words and valuable...
Thanks very much, Andrew. We are learning more every day. He will call for an appointment with a uro tomorrow - want to get that information as soon as possible. Thanks, again....
We feel a tad better (can sleep tonight!) after DH discussed the topic with our TCM MD. He said he should definitely see a urologist for another DRE and PSA and see what happens from there. He wasn't...
Thanks for the welcome, "N." Just sitting here waiting for the comments the TCM doc passed along....hope they gave him some hope. Thanks, also, for your comments. He's trying to get in with one of...
I've been living on the internet since last Thursday and, in terms of user friendliness and being current, this is the best site I've found. We don't have any confirmation of anything yet but last...
Well, I did have some cauliflower last night and woke up in the middle of the night with a slight stomachache. Think it was a gas pain....
Iamcurious: Why no cruciferous vegetables? I thought they were supposed to be good for us. Too much roughage?...
Hey - maybe he's been super cautious because of my age - I'm 72....
Hmmmph! I was just starting to relax.....now I'm worried again.......
Thanks very much. It means a lot from you guys, rather than on a non-specific disease forum. Scared the beejazuz out of me as my esteemed doc gave me the "ok."...
I've had UC -pancolitis for about 10 years. 'Am a little rattled today as I got my biopsy results back and I have one of these - in the rectum. Oddly my GI doc is one of the best in the country and...
