I’ll be talking to my PO about ADT tomorrow, thanks guys...
You guys are awesome, really appreciate your input! Funny story: So the guy is doing the setup for my SRT and tells me I have too much gas etc in my rectum. “ would you like an enema” ? I was a...
So do you do ADT at the same time as SRT or immediately after?...
I just don't think I could handle it, I'm told I can still do it later but from what I hear about it, I think it might work on my psa but the rest of me might not survive. Most likely un warranted...
I had active surveillance for 9 years, things started to go off a bit and I was advised to get treatment by January, this was August. I checked a lot of stuff and final said screw it, take it out,...
So glad you guys are here. So, after DiVinci had his way with me last November my PSA jumped from nothing to .03 to .09 and now .1 with another test tomorrow. I'm scheduled to start SRT next week, 40...

According to my doctor pet scans only work if you’re at .2 or above. Thankfully I’m not there yet, but my big worry is having salvage radiation and then all the while the cancer was living somewhere...

Yikes, 9 months post RP and this happens. Needless to say I am pretty much freeking out. After waiting too long to get the thing out, T3a I don’t want to wait to take the next step, but who knows if...
I agree with the fellas, go to the absolute best. Do what you have to do to get there but don’t screw that up. If your where you should be everything gets better....
Thanks for sharing Your the Man! Well Done, All the best...
Both my brother and I had the same as you. He’s 7 years out, no issues, I’m almost a year out with undetectable PSA. My thing is eat right, enjoy what you have. I’d check into a book called eat to...

sted Today 8:54 PM (GMT -7)Options ▼ 3 months out of RP T3a, undetectable PSA. My Dr says talk to an Radiation oncologist Dr........not to do it, just to know about it if the PSA goes up. It’s my...
3 months out of RC, T3a, undetectable PSA. My Dr says talk to an Radiation oncologist Dr........not to do it, just to know about it if the PSA goes up. It’s my understanding preemptive radiation...
Terrific! Party on...

RP 11/27/18, going in for my first psa tomorrow morning. My T3a thing has me freaked out, I feel like getting an over/under pool going to at least make a few bucks on it no matter how it comes out!...
I didn’t forget anything, the time between seeing a change (MRI) and treatment was about 80 days, very fast in today’s world of medical appointments etc. , my point was it’s wasn’t fast enough ....
Thanks so much for the response. You guys are remarkable helpful. All the best!...
My Active Surveillance experience: I was diagnosed with a small Gleason 6 tumor 9 years ago, 1 or 2 out of 12 biopsied. For most of those 9 years I had color dopler exams every 6 months, MRI’s every...
I do like the see thru walls thing!...
I don’t think I could do Hormone therapy, if surgery and radiation don’t get it done I may just take my chances. I’m going to do everything I can, diet, exercise, bail out of stress issues etc and...
Just got back from the Doc. My T3a is close to a T3b, a microscopic amount of PC was left outside the margin. RP 11/27, he likes radiation within 1 year, I want to wait and closely monitor PSA and...
It is ALL about the surgeon. They need to have thousands of procedures under their belt, not some, not hundreds, thousands. If you get that your chances are very good on both. Don’t settle for less...
I’m 5 weeks out of RC and 98-99% good during the day but I’ve had 2 nights where I woke up and O my! What happened??? Now every time I wake up, like 2.5-3 hours I get up and go writhed I need to or...
Could not agree more. Being cared for before and after RP impacted me deeply. The love and care and concern was stunning. I know these folks are paid but the heart behind it is priceless...
Thanks guys, Prat, our stories are similar in lots of ways, so glad I found this forum...
RP 11-27, Dr appt this week, after 6 weeks I would like to get my PSA but my Dr said wait 3 months. I’ve seen lots of guys with tests much earlier. Thoughts?...
This thread covers all of it, the good ban and ugly. Bottom line, go where you have to go but get a top rated, well known surgeon from a great hospital. I went to USC and had the best, RC 11-27, T3,...
Thanks guys, I survived and it went well, I’m just a little off pre surgery. That had me worried, I think I’m going to be fine. Working on the leaks, doing good. Now that first psa test to hopefully...
