Thanks guys, that's reassuring. :-)...
My husband was dxd with PCa (G4+3, ?T3a) last month and we are currently researching treatment options. A recent letter from the urologist states his Prostate volume as 32 cc. I read that normal...
Thank you John. I suspect we may have to look at a combination therapy and your results are very encouraging....
Hello John, We would go down the private route if necessary although don't have medical insurance. Hopefully UCLH will be able to offer us the best option on NHS or via trials which are free of...
Very good points Halbert. I hadn't appreciated it was quite that small but did realise its close proximity to other organs, nerves etc. I'm certainly getting the message that we need much more...
Thank you Gemlin, that's a very good point. And thanks again Michael, it's good to know that there are more viable options than immediately apparent....
I think he may have offered radiation with HT or RP but I missed the start of the appointment as we expected the two hour delay we got in the clinic on Christmas Eve, so I'd gone to fetch us a coffee...
Thank you very much for your welcome and words of encouragement, they're much appreciated....
Thank you Allen. I did ask about ECE at the initial meeting and the urologist said no there was no ECE but the same guy also told us (incorrectly) that it was 3+4 not 4+3, so I guess we can't be...
Interesting to see your treatment Michael. The urologist told us that brachytherapy seeds wouldn't be appropriate in my husband's case. They described his cancer at the last appointment on Christmas...
Thank you Michael. We are seeing Mark Emberton privately next week. He offers HIFU or cyberknife under trials at UCLH. Even if these aren't appropriate treatments it will be good to have an expert...
Hi, My husband was dxd with PCa on Christmas Eve. I've hopefully put the details in my signature. The urologists at our local hospital are pushing for robotic RP and claim that any treatments except...
I forgot to mention that I did suggest maybe 6 months ago that he have a PSA test as I'd noticed he needed to urinate more at night and it would take a while, in particular it seemed to not be a...
Thank you for your reply. My dad is doing OK. His initial PSA was 27 and went right down to 0.9 after his first six months on HT. It's creeping back up and is around 2.5 now but he's otherwise well...
Hi all, My father has been suffering from high grade (G9) PCa for about 18 months so I'm not new to this. But my husband recently had a PSA test and the result was 6.something (he's unsure of exact...
Hi everyone, I'm new here and have a question about phlegm. I'm not sure it's related to GERD as my daughter, who has the problem with phlegm, doesn't appear to have GERD and this is a bit of a...
Hi everyone, I'm new here and have a question about phlegm. I'm not sure it's related to allergies or asthma as my daughter, who has the problem with phlegm, doesn't appear to have either asthma or...
