Am I the only one who is suspect of the analysis that's gone into the real reason for causes of death in centenarians????...
Beating a dead horse perhaps, but once you've had cancer, you are never totally "cured" and out of the woods. Long term remission would be very good, as is active surveillance of what's going on with...
....and many reviews are driven by personality, likability, rather than much harder to quantify medical and technical competence. That takes time, research and an open mind....
For those of you who have tried Cologuard®.... It's a noninvasive colon cancer screening test for adults 45+ at average risk. Just poop in a box!...
You clearly do! He obviously needs to work on his sense of humor....
Really not clear if he died OF prostate cancer, or WITH it....
14 days of Vanco did the trick for me. One and done! C Diff can kill you! Cleaning everything, repeatedly, to protect your friends and family is critical....
In the deep dive research I've done on a number of ailments and cancers, the innovative research, out of the box thinking, and yes, the published reporting comes from outside Big Pharma USA. China,...
Long term 'expensive' research plays into 'their' bottom line profit motive, and while 'they' may not conspire to keep us on basically unproven meds, it sure drives 'their' revenue and profit sky...
No other UC meds, don't know what "ec" stands for. I've assumed some kind of extended release. I may just have to return to 9mg Budesonide (Uceris) Thanks.....
I've been tapering down slowly from 9mg tabs,after taking them for almost three years, to 3mg ec caps, with the hope of being off it completely soon. In the last week I've had urgent diarrhea almost...
A TURP is no walk in the park, and recovery will take time, if that's what he is having done. The misinformation about PC knows no bounds! :(...
Yes, his songs about his father, his wife, his love of animals, and his appreciation of life....still resonate. Also agree with the ease of reading the valuable posts from Cyclone, without any need...
IMHO ED, your news is FAR from bad, and your positive news outcomes abound. Try waiting to see what your PSMA Pet scan shows, before you start worrying. Good luck, and my gut tells me, you'll be...
Guaranteed....it is! As an insightful physician once said, "sooner or later, all my patients die." As do we all. Worrying about it is wasted energy, IMHO....
Dan was a wonderful man and a great songwriter. He took his chances, with the best information he could get, two decades ago. Most of us to the same today. He loved horses, and wrote this song to...
U/C for fifty years..... I've been taking 4.8gm of Lialda (mesalamine) tabs for about 24 years with no know ill effects. During a fair I'll add Uceris (budesonide) 9mg. It helps, but don't stay on...
He may find it, he may target it, he may hit it, and while HE may be successful, YOU, I'm sorry to say, will never be completely "done with this"....
Always informative to read the observations of a long time contributor. While unnecessary, seems kinda bold to use Italics.......
Try Magic Mouthwash....it works! https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/cancer/magic-mouthwash Good luck,...
You might want to try an abdominal binder. Under $20 on Amazon. Helped me after surgery....
"The inhumanity of man toward man is our greatest sin." ALL of us.... In 1673, Samuel von Pufendorf, "More inhumanity has been done by man himself than any other of nature's causes." How a civilized...
Depends has some super absorbent diapers, there are many types of condom catheters, fighter pilots wear diapers ago...and they work well. There is an app that points out nearest public restrooms, but...
Yup, strong core, strong abs, smart use of kegels....and keep a pad handy ;-)...
Your biopsy is not alarming; Decipher and Epstein are mandatory, PSAMA-PET scan would be premature; and deep dive into treatment options should start soon. No obvious solutions, no absolute answers,...
That's what we're here to listen for. ;-)...
Maybe he means kegels and lox... You're getting humorous, Djin. I like seeing this side of you.. Keep 'em coming[/quote] No, Djin was being serious, as always ;-) I try to help, and all I get is...
Kegels have become a way of life. I do them daily without even thinking about it....
I've probably had 100 scopings over the last 50 years, with 1,000's of biopsies. Never had an issue, knock wood. I haven't had a polyp in about 15 years, and ALWAYS have some inflammation in my...

Not "ALL about", but rest assured it's a 'major influence'....
That's correct, the Modena booster now is half the dose the primary Modena shot was. Struggling with two cancers, ulcerative colitis, and a lifetime autoimmune disease, Behcets syndrome., I think...
Thanks, everyone. We all make the best decisions we possibly can with the data we have at hand. Even the best of science, is nothing more than an educated opinion. Do your best, don't have regrets,...
As much is known about dry eye as is known about the cause and cure for UC ;-) Could be your meds, your age, your surroundings, your make-up, the time of year, what you use to clean your home....and...
My uPSA yesterday was 0.089.......
Try spending some time in a pool, with a bathing suit or not.... Just might help you answer some of your issues. Good luck!...
Yes, my PSA never was undetectable after surgery, or after SRT for that matter. Four months after surgery it was up to 0.054. There was a 1" tumor on my cavity wall, near the apex, that Da Vinci and...
Fascinating stuff....thanks for the research guys. My GI doc had told me dermatology was one of the most difficult specialities to enter. I suspect the reasons above are valid. Radiology seems like a...
Well, I guess it was on some internet site. Based on too much painful experience, I find it completely unbelievable!...
I was 72 when I had surgery, and I would do same again, if I had to. No major issues afterward, other than the surgeon left a tumor on my prostate cavity wall. Less than a year later I had SRT, and...
Good thought 1Wish... IBS, if not UC, runs in my family. DNA and genome testing indicates we pass most everything, good and bad, along, BUT no guarantees what will show up, so worrying about it is...
Wonderful story, Stephanie. You and Jeff are in my thoughts and prayers, and his attitude is great. Many here could learn from it. God bless and keep you both....
No poop! Goes hand-in-hand with PCa affecting both brain function and testicle size :-)))...
While it's low, I don't think it's due to surgery, or even PCa. How long have you been monitoring it? Compared to many of us, especially guys who had radiation, it's not bad. Good luck....

No silver bullets.... This is good stuff, made in Florida, I believe: https://www.fulllifedirect.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlbn2monG9gIVAp-GCh1YAA_4EAAYASAAEgJ3hPD_BwE...
Based upon my experiences, I agree with quincy. Alternating at this point, is your best course....
Excellent data, Djin & Rob.... Thanks!...
There are NO 'silver bullets'. Not for Hurt, not for us, not for a $150,000 check, not for anyone with cancer. A good long remission, with no suffering, other than mental anxiety for some, is the...
Yeah, 'natural'. PCa cause ;-(...
