Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / December 2004PCa -- Just a Bump in the Road
Dr. Walsh said in his book that for some people, Pca is just a bump in the road. I have now put myself in that category. I went skiing yesterday for the first time in two years at Big Bear, California and it was great. I am 5 1/2 months post-RRP with a PSA reading of 0.03 three months post-RRP. Pre-op PSA 6.2, Gleason 3+3, age 66, all PCa containted in prostate at post-op biopsy. I will be monitoring my PSA over the next decade, but I am in the 98% bracket for non-recurrence. Congrats, Jim. I'm going in for RRP in 48 hours. Age 52, PSA 114, Gleason (3+4), all tumor markers, bone scan, CT scan clear, all indications are transition zone, contained. John, Houston, TX > Congrats, Jim.

I had my surgery two years ago... it was *much* easier than I even imagined it could be! Most aggravating part was the catheter for the few weeks afterwards.. not painful, mind you... just aggravating to carry around. Next week this time the worst will all be behind you! Take care!

You are almost done with that. Good luck. Steve > Congrats, Jim. I'm going in for RRP in 48 hours.

I'm now 5 1/2 months post RRP and it's not slowing me down. Okay, I've got some issues with peeing too frequently and dribbling when I pass gas. also, erections are now drug induced, but, hey, at least I can get and maintain and erection!! haven't gone skiing yet this season, but it's in the plans. BTW, a skiing accident is how my PCa was discovered, last February. Sandy K. > Dr. Walsh said in his book that for some people, Pca is just a bump in > the road.

I am now 100% continent and have donated my leftover pads to the Goodwill. I am doing OK in the erection department with Cialis (although not like pre-op, at least it is sufficient for penetration). It is supposed to improve over the next two years. > > Dr. Walsh said in his book that for some people, Pca is just a bump in > > the road. I have now put myself in that category.
