Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / June 2005Seeding Done
Hi Everyone! Last Friday, the 24th, I had my seeding done in Scranton, PA. They did 83 I-125 seeds, stayed overnight at the hospital and have been home since Saturday morning. Each day has seen improvement in the plumbing department. Today I notice more discomfort in the injection site. It could be related to the fact that the air-handler fan motor burned out last night and I had to replace it today, some lifting but tried to go easy on things. Back to the ice. I'm on Flomax, started 10 days before implants, and Cipro. I'll keep you posted on my progress. -- John Hi John. We all wish you the very best. As you said...keep us informed. Ron B. Chicago John, I wish you a speedy recovery and many happy follow-ups. Steve U So far, so good. You're right about no heavy lifting. You've gotta take it easy for a while. Are you one-a-day or two-a-day on the Flomax? Good luck, Larry > Hi Everyone! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > -- John > So far, so good. > You're right about no heavy lifting.

I'm a little over one year since my seeds. I was two-a-day for about the first five or six months now one-a-day. Whenever I try to wean myself further, it gets uncomfortable so I'll just stay at that for a while. > > So far, so good. > > You're right about no heavy lifting.

When I was trying to get off the Flomax the doc suggested that I go to 1 every other day. That worked for me and now I'm off Flomax completely/ Doug Hi Doug, I've tried that. Can't quite get there - and it's my nature to avoid drugs - any drug - if I can at all help it. But I'm not going to make myself miserable trying to get off this one - not yet anyway. I'm very glad it worked for you. I've had a weak stream for a long time - long before this PCa came along, so maybe that's part of the problem.

At about 3 months post seeding I simply forgot to take the Flomax for a few days, the feeling was, "whoa, what's going on, it's getting HARD to go!" I started back on it and things improved. At 6 months, I stopped again, because it seemed like time. I haven't gone back to taking Flomax. The stream isn't as strong as with it but it is a good flow so I figure, I don't need it. That's about where I am with the Vitamin-V. 25 mg "helps". I'm not "swinging heavy" but without a Vitamin, I can manage a 3 (hmmm, good firmness there, quick! Put it in before it goes away! Drat, not fast enough.) on the 5 point scale. That's where a 4 is the typical tired middle aged guy and a 5 is, well, like the time in college with Trixy-Lee Hixon in the back seat of the '62 Biscayne. With 25 mg of Vitamin-V, I'm seeing 4's on the 5 point scale. Have not seen a 5 in over a year. Best of luck to you John. Take it easy on the lifting. You don't want to end up like me with two hernias! > Hi Everyone! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > -- John
