Count me in. 3+4 EPE but negative margins. Post surgery for 15 months and just got latest PSA back and is .04. (It was <.04, which i am still trying understand if its an emerging issue. My EPE was a...
15 months out. have had test every three month and each time Quest report came back at <.04. This time no < sign. Would this be considered a rise? or just splitting hairs?...
Who knows? But it does argue for doing all the diet and exercise suggestions to reduce risk. I kick myself for realizing too late that many of my habits are risk factors. For instance, charred beef,...
I am closing on on 6 months without much results. Cialis daily, pump and viagra at least weekly. Though be careful not to mix the two drug without a couple of days of spacing. Uro has offered the...
Same here at three months as it hadn't happened since I saw similar in the catheter bag back on 1st week. Just healing process. At least it didn't hurt like a kidney stone!...
What is a decipher test?...
Hey guys, As a new wrinkle to consider if you develop urgency or frequency long after your surgery, a UTI is something to consider. I got a urine test back after going to the doctor 2 months post...
Look up PSA density. As your prostate enlarges, PSA must be evaluated in context of your prostate size. My uro was not concerned about my PSA of 7-11 because my prostate was 180CC and there was no...
3+4 . 5 cores positive of 14 on MRI guided biopsy, 14 years of PSA above 7, 3 biopsy's and one MRI. All negative until my PSA spiked from 11 to 16 in 6 months so I guess I was on watchful waiting...
For the benefit of the group- My urologist and surgeon both said I was not a good candidate for radiation due to the 180cc monster prostate i have. The rationale was potential for damage to rectum...
Peter, (aptly named) LOL. Used viagra pump, and romance together today to achieve encouraging results from the pump. Will look at it as therapy not a solution for the time being. (btw-my non erectile...
Well, would be having more sex for one. Second, my anxiety would be lower, I can't think how PC could lead to a better alternate life unless somehow it brings you closer to your wife or appreciate...
I am 2 months post surgery. A good topic to rejuvenate the conversation on frequency after RRP for me. I had been looking forward to finally sleeping thru the night but alas I am getting up more...
Update, incontinence is gone. No pads. 2 months. One down, one to go(ed)....
Is there an early point of recovery where even a pump doesnt cause an erection? All I get is a bit of girthrgeo . but no erection? I am 2 months post surgery. Both nerves spared per surgeon notes. I...
Great clarification Halbert. Congrats on your Non-Detect since 20215! Have 1st post surgery Urologist appt tomorrow so I am hoping to get answers to more questions I've dreamed up since my post...
<.04 is first PSA after surgery 35 days ago. I am pretty sure this is good and considered undetectable. However, in my reading, it appears there are studies that say <.03 is a big marker for...
Djin, you are correct. I just talked to the surgeon. Yes, I was Pt3aNO. it was described as there were some cancer cells on the surface of the prostate they noticed via staining? so they removed all...
great comments. Talking to surgeon today. Final gleason was 3+4. Says 2 lymph glands were examined. Seems low. I'll post what the surgeon says....
Just got my post pathology report and am confused by one thing. Margins, lymph, and seminal vesicles all negative and it says capsule intact. However, it also says non-focal extraprostatic exension,...
