Congrats on the 8 year mark and like the others, hope you continue. And also like the others, thank you ever so much for the contributions to the forum. You are a pep squad all by yourself and will...
I hope and pray as well for you. Mainly that he will overcome this adversity. Too bad the selfing wouldn't work out, but you don't want to cause additional damage. Also praying for your safety in...
Sounds like you can plan to attend the POCI Nationals in Catoosa this July. I've been thinking about it myself....
Not completely familiar with the whole AUS thing, but would the urologist allow you to self catheter? I mean rather than have to drive two hours on a full bladder? That had to be agony, especially...
After all of the anticipation, I am now the proud owner of 107 I-125 seeds planted gently in my prostate. Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that bad after it was all said & done. I...
Billy, I'm confident that if you go to a quality CBD store here you can do a whole lot better than that. I know for a fact that $100.00 worth of OG kush will get me by for nearly a week these days....
The problem here as I see it is that until the Feds let it go, we can't get the studies completed to offer the public education they speak of. My biggest fear is that when it does come about, big...
Two words man, Choco Taco!...
From what I understand, the CBD is great for inflamation so it should do you some good. I'm also under the impression it is a matter of consistency in use. You need to get on a regiment and use it on...
Ditto the Good For You Pratoman. You managed to address what may have turned in to a real issue. Issues as noted in a previous post regarding pain medications. Is this another place for medical...
My problem, that was similar in nature & came after laparoscopic (colon) surgery was due to a stricture in my urethra not my prostate issue. Thankful they found my PCa before they found out what the...
It was a lot of fun. I went for a week at a time in '69 & '70. You would practice through the day, then play a double header against some visiting team every night. The little league team I played on...
Anyone ever go to Mickey Owen Baseball camp?...
Mumbo, Search on the youtube. You can get numerous full show videos on there. Run it through a big TV and a pair of cornwalls and you've got yourself a treat....
Mumbo- There is a string cheese show at the fillmore and set one has some good ricky skaggs with friends joining in for a few songs. It may be of interest to you....
I have always been a blues listener, starting out on what is now considered classic rock. Also am a big guitar fan. Roy Buchanan has been mentioned and I totally agree. I have for the past few years...
I know life insurance gets really expensive as you get older, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone with a need for same and any sort of health issue would not keep it going. My term policy is...
Hey oldford ol'boy, A bit off the subject at hand, but I had a call yesterday needing an accelerator pump for a '56 Sunliner. If I'da known about you I coulda sent him your way. Glad to have another...
I had a stricture that was likely due to colon surgery and I can feel for you. Not sure if the procedure they are suggesting to you is the same, but I was glad I had it done. Pee like a horse on...
My first car was a '68 Pontiac Firebird and that car I got in '75 is still in the garage today....
Told the doctor this morning that I feel 'Urologically sound' and feel great, but it's time to do my thing. Based on all I'm understanding, I set up an appointment for seeds. Entering the planting...
I've been involved in a more than 40 year study regarding the ability of MJ to prevent or cure cancer. In this study 50% of the participants did not get (prostate) cancer. That seems impressive to...
I know personally how much better you feel. That's a goodboy....
After visiting with them for a short time, I suspect I'll pass. I don't doubt their abilities. I think from an overall standpoint they have a good product (total package) to offer. My problem is...
Not wanting to step out of bounds here, but there is a cancer treatment center advertised a lot on the television. They have a number of locations in & 'of America'. I don't seem to see much talk of...
MNP, Where'd you get your surgery at? And am I reading it was an open surgery or was it robotic?...
If they find what they're looking for, they should be able to address it at that time. At least they did it that way for me....
I'm having as much trouble deciding what to do about my own situation. I do not disagree that this holistic is a better way to live, I just don't know how much I would trust it as an only treatment....
I had it done just recently and it worked out very well for me. I also had it done with only the local and while it wasn't a walk in the park, it wasn't that bad comfort wise. Did have to walk with...
I've been through the diverticulitis thing and I know how awful that feels. My prior surgery to address that is getting in the way of my prostate treatment. Hope you heal well and be sure to get your...
I hope it does pass with time. I am curious as to whether he had any surgeries (not for prostate) near that area in the past....
Thanks for the input. BTW, I can use AAM after my name. Accredited Automotive Manager and can say, like my Urologist, I've had my hands (sometimes both at once) in a number of rear ends....
I re-read the 'read this first' information and the capital B is evidently regarded well by HW as a second op. Yes Jack, that's the one. I guess my only concern is the suffixes he used; MD & MBA....
Had the slides sent to what I thought was going to be JHU, but as it turns out they went to a place that starts with a capital B out of Memphis TN. Results were nearly the same regarding Gleason &...
I'll have to go by an 'average' of 3-4 myself. Through the week I'm on more simply due to access to a computer I don't typically have on the weekends. Since I have many distractions through the week,...
I assume they are talking about robotic vs open surgery?...
Go Rob! Been dealing with a semi-colon for a while now. Take care of yourself....
While I am a business owner, it is a small business. I have only six employees, but they obviously count on me. We have hundreds of clients that in some cases go back three generations and they count...
Max, All you got to do is use the pre-lubed catheter, find the hole, insert and aim. They showed me at the clinic before I left....
I feel for you. My issue was flow and that's how I got here on the H&W. Have not decided on treatment yet, but this makes me more afraid of seed planters. I was emptying ok as far as I know. My...
They can't bust you if they don't know what you got...
Hey Jason, I haven't been here long myself, but have learned a lot. Sometimes I think maybe too much. I'm not as young as yourself, but not much older in the whole scheme of things. Kind of like...
Siuberto, yes I'm going the right direction with the flow issue, but still have to deal with the PC obviously. And for reasons Santa brought up, I have been leaning toward surgery first....
With the urinary issues I've had, I must say I'm lucky the night time frequencies have not been a problem for me. I was originally given flomax and when it didn't seem to be doing much good my...
I feel for you with first hand experience. I did have a stricture (obstruction) in the urethra remedied do to a flow issue. Found that with a cystoscope; showed me on the monitor; was not fun; glad...
Thas a goodoggie. My Dazey comes to work with me every day....
bw, I am with you 100 %. That fact, in itself, is weighing heavily on my treatment decision....
Will turn 60 in January. Working full time (55-60 hours per week) at owning an auto repair facility. Wanting to slow down, but not because of the PC....
I noticed a number of lookers, but few responses until now. I was a bit afraid I had offended and if I did I meant no disrespect. At all. This whole PC thing is nothing to laugh at, but at the same...
I found myself walking with Mr. Foley again yesterday due to a procedure to clear a stricture in my urethra. Supposed to get it pulled Monday. I must admit it is a bit uncomfortable, but it's not ALL...
