Maybe it will come back, maybe it will not. If sex has always been an important part of your live, the lack of it is very devastating. DW is now in the phase of not wanting to even try. He loves his...

Ellen, we paid out of our own pocket for a private clinic and treatment. Ins. doesn't cover HIFU. The poeple that went for HIFU in Canada and Mexico all got treated very well. We just happen to have...
Hi to All of you concerened and well wishing people, It's amazing how the body doens't want to heal if the mind doesn't will it. DW and I realy believed that HIFU would let DW return back to work...

Dear Wicket, I have to be silent, bite my tongue, but why is everyone always rushing to get their prostate out. I only hear wives saying get it out fast, faster. Don't the men have anything to say in...

Mama Bluebird, my impresion of Ms. Janet Farrar Worthington, and that's mine please remember this, is that she is one cold blooded women without compassion or any idea what we the wives feel when our...
Wicket, one more thing. Dr. Walsh pushes the 25 year old Radical Surgery procedure. 25 yrs ago women had their breasts removed at the drop of a dime, their uterus too with radical procedures. Hardly...
Wicket, my god i should have told you about that scary book. I had to throw it away. It scared us so much and clouded our decissions for months. It's outdated by 5 yrs and so Dr. Walsh is an imminent...
Wicket, I am right behind him in Bulkhead so I can take care of him, that's ok with me as long s he is comfortable and I can get to him when he needs me. Bluebird, thank you for your prayers. We will...

SJC, I too will have to fly back home on the 2nd day after my procedure. How did you manage to stand up in the plane? The stews constantly chase you back to your seat. How did it feel to sit in these...
