Wow sounds like a lot of options. Best of luck to you....
Yes the PSA tests have been at the same lab for the last 10 or more years. I even sent a second message , via the portal to my GP adding some history so as to remind her, just crickets. Health care...
I appreciate the quick responses.....
I really don't have all my history available at hand but thought I would ask. In December 2012 I had a Rp, Followed by 36 visits of RT I do remember mention of seminal tubes being affected, anyway my...
Wow what a question! The only thing this trip hasn't changed is my faith, but why should it? Everything else has changed to the negative side, sex, finances, all bathroom habits, oh and did I say...
I just obtained my newest PSA on line. This is my 30 day after 8 weeks of RT and 6 months after my RP = 0.09. Which is also the same as my post op and later. I expected all o's but will settle for an...
5 days ? I hope this option is available to all someday....
Hi Berk, I am 57 and after surgery I found my path report to tell me the trip isn't over yet so I added my CAD and a bad back history and thought I'd try for SSD. That was in September- I got my...
What a strange trip this has been. I refuse to be to pessimistic simply because I was raised to believe someone always has it worse, and I believe that. I now have 2 more RT sessions left and I was...
I hope it stays "uneventful" Monday I will receive #18, my halfway point hoping after this is all over my fatigue and the feeling that my diet may have consisted of broken glass is gone I will be...
Thanks, I terms of "measureable" if it don't go up,(PSA) I guess the RT was a good decision. 32 more treatments to go! Good luck to you....
Thanks, I'll try to get my hands on them....
I think its 13 weeks post open RP now and just finished day 2 of 36 days of RT. After surgery my PSA never got over 0.09, Tested at 10 and 12 weeks but my surgeon and Oncologist still said RT was...
Congrats, volv9300, I will read more about Trimix. I still have nothing going on but only 13 weeks after RP. I am however starting RT next Wednesday for the first time thinking it will only set me...
I do apologize about my wording in the thread as my intent was not to break any rules. Actually some got my actual question which was " What grade of care should I expect with no Insurance?" The...
Good for you, I wanta join your club. Wish you many more....

Easy- DRE The Doc said Huh! I feel something isn't right! PSA Showed a 6 Then my Biopsy I was 56 and was given a DRE once a year but really just thought it was for something other than PC...
I have a tough time even saying this but I have to wonder. What grade of care should I expect with no Insurance? I have had a really bad last 3 years with countless losses combined to "unbelievable"...
Good for you Joe. Something to celebrate!!...
I guess I can post here, my positive does outweigh my negative. I'm still learning so please don't confuse my ignorance with negativity. RP- So far I'm ok with it having little to no incontinence...
Having had a heart attack back in 06 I quit smoking then and still on a hart healthy diet except for the occasional chocolate or donut binge. I do however take a multiple vitamin,(maybe I shouldn't)?...
Diet or "proper diet" seems to be an issue I've seen lately in the disease prevention and or treatment for Prostate health. Is there any documented cases or have any of you folks here that have...
Wow Terry that prostate was twice mine! As far as the ED it would be great at some point to have the thing work since I have 15 years on my wife but you know if it don't, worse things could happen....
To answer some; Post op is the same from what I can tell so I added that information. The 10% thing? I still have some surprises but as long as I'm real carefull 10% is a good answer. I didn't even...
Tall Allen said... The obturator helps you move your leg. The cavernous nerve is the one you want spared for erections. I'm going to have to ask about that nerve, I can't find mention of it. Thanks...
I see it on my profile page I will edit and try again. I just got my reports today,(way more detailed than I thought) 7 pages but that includes the surgery notes....
I probably won't talk to the doc til the 22 nd for my first posy op PSA. This is what I understand so far for my signature....
Hi, I believe I'm interpreting my report and surgery notes pretty good but have a stupid question. I interpret "taking care not to injure the obturator nerve or the major blood vessels" to mean they...
Thanks, I was going to get all my information last Friday and couldn't get in town, but will this week. The day I visited and spoke with my Doctor I was focused on his speech throwing me off guard...
Thanks, No I had no hemorrhoids in the past, this was almost immediately after surgery. I still haven't picked up a copy of my path report but was told I am now a T3B with invasion outside the bed so...
25 Days today and I'm not real sure so will ask is this normal or am I just complaining? I am fortunate I thought to not need a pad after the first day or so I guess? but still sometimes think I leak...
No one could say he didn't have the stones!...
Actually I have been relaxing but that bothers my backside, its mowing and working around the shop that's been getting me in trouble. Walking I can and will do, walking gives me less discomfort than...
Got Ya! I've been told to slow down by family already. My Dr. don't talk much he's really just a matter of fact type and I have never known anyone who's been through this kind of surgery, but I'm...
Thanks people, I called and will pick up a copy prepared by my ur doc/ surgeon tomorrow. Question its been a little more than 3 weeks since my RP should the boys still feel like they were used as a...
Thanks for the welcome. I will read more than ask I hope but do have a question. I see all the exacts of some of the stats I can only assume to get those from my Ur doc? I do know I was a post op...
New guy here out of Florida, I see I have a lot of reading to do but already had a laugh at some of the wit. Truthful I'm sure from experience so far but funny. I am a post-op from a radical 3 weeks...
