Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / August 2005This is the week.....
The last 6 weeks have been a whirlwind but my Nerve Sparing RRP is scheduled for this Friday (8/12). Dr. Alan Partin at Johns Hopkins will be performing the operation. We leave South Carolina Thursday morning and I hope, er...PLAN to be home by Monday evening (8/15) to hug and kiss my kids (8 and 5). Thanks for all the great info over the last month or so, and I'll keep you all posted after the surgery. Reminder: Age at Dx - 37 PSA - .7 (yep, you read it correctly) Gleason - 6 (3+3) >10% in 1 core; >5% in second core Clinical Stage - T2b Biblical support - Lamentations 3:21-23 USC Gamecock, You will be in my prayers for a fast recovery and good results.

It probably will be for you too. Steve U hi USC - start making plans now for a big party when you get back. the odds are very low on anything major happening on the table while out like a light. but i wouldn't plan on running the 10k race that weekend. have to wait a little bit. :) best of luck, ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Growing old is invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so." http://community.webtv.net/PALMER_ENT/doc Hi USC. You're a young buck and will be back with your kids...full of 'piss and vinegar' in no time. Uh...forget that 'piss' part. :-) All the best, Ron B. Chicago Good luck! At your age you should heal fast. Keep us all informed; we'll be thinking of you.  SignaturePeter Headland Wesley, We will all be praying for you. My RRP is this Wednesday, Aug. 10. This is our week!

Dr. Alan Partin at Johns Hopkins [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Clinical Stage - T2b > Biblical support - Lamentations 3:21-23 On August 7, USC Gamecock, to whom I wish the very best, wrote, in pertinent part : > Biblical support - Lamentations 3:21-23 For those who will not bother to look, this is what those verses say: 21: This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22: It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23: They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24: The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. Regards, Steve J My sincere hope for a great outcome. I don't know Lamentations, but I will give St. Peregrine a call in your behalf. Remember as you go in, you will sleep through the whole thing. It is your family that has to go through the rough part. When you wake up, you will wonder what all the fuss was about. And your biopsy is expected to be as good as your numbers going in, i.e., GREAT!
