Like Halbert, somewhere around the 5 years with the < sign I didn't need to go to my uro anymore so I get PSA included annually when I have my labs with my GP. If anything changes I'll deal with it...

I got my AUS a couple of years ago and it was life changing. Before I used depends pads and used 6 to 8 per day. I now use the shields for drips and dribbles on some days and other days don't need...
It is probably a good thing you got it so now you have some natural immunity as well as the vax. I've tested positive at least 5 times and only the first time it was bad. My wife only got it once and...
TJ that is a quote I want to remember. Do you mind if i use it?...
Yesterday I was in my usual barber shop waiting my turn for a haircut. This is a one barber operation with 4 chairs for waiting customers. Being the end of the day, one customer was in the chair...
Yes, my Medicare covered. Life changing for the better. Surgery was out patient. No catheter. Not a lot of pain. I would do again....
Thanks Mumbo!...
Thanks for letting us be a part of Jeff's and your journey. I will continue to pray for you and your family. You will always have friends and much support here if you need us. Nog...
I believe I would be shopping for a new doctor. Hope they get you fixed soon....
Stephanie, Hope you and Jeff have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and Jeff gets some relief and rest. You guys are always in my thoughts, Nog...
I had the pain also but forget when it went away. The good news it does go away. With the hair growing back and scar being really sensitive, I got some body oil and just slathered it on as often as I...
Yes I did get it turned on this year. I did use some ice early on when things got swollen and ached a lot. I also used a donut cushion some if I was sitting a lot or out boating. My doc put the fear...
Sure hope yours goes as well as mine did. I had the surgery November 3 and had it turned on January 13. The holidays made finding a date good with me and the doc postpone turning it on. I took the...
Fantastic Randy. Enjoy the holiday season!...
Hi Friend, Thanks for posting this. It was long but moved very quickly for me. I wish it had been up before and after my surgery and radiation. It explained why I may have been so frustrated with my...
I will get the booster just as soon as I can...
I tested positive yesterday. I had gotten the jabs last Feb. Sunday was the worst day of my life, just felt like crap all day with a fever that never got over 100.5. Today the fever is gone and most...
I was a G9. Doc took out 70 nodes. All neg. I asked why so many, he said he wanted to be sure what he was dealing with....
FranPro, glad you found the thread and chimed in. Welcome! Great bunch of guys with a lot of knowledge now. None of us knew what we were up against when Larry (Skypilot) started this thread but we...
Hey BD, you may want to check out this series of threads about RT and ADT. It follows a bunch of us that started around December 2017 https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=3952177...
Thanks for updating us Donna. Hope Randy has a speedy recovery....
Donna, sure hope Randy gets some relief soon. We will be watching for updates and praying for you. Oh and you don't come across as whining or complaining. Noggin...
That sounds like an excellent, fun field trip Larry, I'll have to see if my keepers would let me escape to Menards....
Donna, sorry you and Randy are going thru this. I know nothing about the AUS's except what I have read and brief discussions with doc's. I have talked to two doctors about getting one but am a long...
That is a bummer. Sorry to hear that....
I got the results from my 6 month PSA. Another undetectable @ <0.07 Yeah God. Everything else was good except my blood pressure was a little bit high. I suspect it is due to the anticipation of...
Awesome news Larry. You deserve some much needed relief....
Great news!...
Hi Mumbo, You and I have about the same signature. I'm also a G-9 Grade 5. I had the RALP, ART plus a 6 month Lupron and 6 months of Casodex. My doc's wanted me to get it going within 6 months and...
Thanks Jim, I appreciate you folks keeping this one going. I have learned so much and gotten so much support from those posting. I hope these threads are helping the new guys know what to expect....
Larry, Sorry to hear you are still having back problems. Sure hope the Doc's can find something to help you. Seemed for about a year after surgery, everything hurt. Especially my hands. They got so...
Prat, Man it does get a lot better as the Lupron wears off but for me the belly is still hanging around. I started palates two weeks ago to see if that might get me in better shape. So far it has...
Captain G, Our stories sure are a lot alike and I wish you the best. I would bet your PSA will be 0 in May. I'll be watching close. Noggin...
It is hard to find this thread sometimes. 6 parts now? I'm a G-9 that started ADT and radiation back when this thread started in December 2017. I had another check up this week with labs and PSA was...
Merry Christmas to all and to all good health....
This week marked the first anniversary of my starting ADT. I began the Casodex 11-28-2017 followed by my only Lupron shot in early December. I quit taking the Casodex in May. By now most of the SE's...
Welcome to our club nobody want to be in. Throw the sink at it and keep swinging. Lot of good folks who can help you. You are not alone in this....
Heal quickly Rob!...
Went to my six month check up today. PSA still zero. Next appointment is in December with another doc at Emory to discuss an artificial urinary sphincter. I think the surgery and RT really did a...
Mine got worse during RT pretty much in the third week. I was fairly close to being dry. Now I am using about 6 pads on bad days and 3 to 4 on good days. Hoping it will get better or doc's can come...
Tats for me. Got them twice. First ones faded....
Thanks Richard, I think I have all my <<<<<'s fixed. I'm blaming that on the Lupron fog thingy that is still hanging around. Larry, my hand pain pops up at all times of the day and night. Usually it...
One other thing. I got my PSA results today and again it was < 0.01, keep them coming....
So, my last Lupron shot was in December 2017 and my last Casodex pill was May 29 2018. I'm still having some insomnia and hot flashes, but not quite as bad as when on the pills. The last couple of...
Good morning guys and happy Memorial Day. Thanks to all of you who have served or are currently serving. Today is a big day for me. I took my last Casodex pill this morning. I had one six month...
Good luck with the PSA Larry. Our group needs everybody to hit zeros. I counted my remaining Casodex pills and I have 30 left. I'll be done with this round May 23rd. I'm still having some mega hot...
Thanks Richard!...
That is so rare, and amazingly good medicine. You are most fortunate. In my travels and visits with too many physicians, it's become clear that they, and their medical departments are very reticent...
Yes Larry, my surgeon is part of my team and he wants to follow me because I participated in a couple of his trials. He wanted a follow up. Also if my continence doesn't get better I would go to him...
