Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / August 2005miyk
Dear Family, FYI. Here is a post I sent to the Prostate Cancer news group I joined: After freezing and slicing up my prostate into myriad sections (yum!), the pathologist said I had negative margins! He said I had cancer in two, not one, lobe but that they were both Gleason 6. The cystogram showed no leaks, so the catheter came out -- good riddance! But my drainage bag, which is nearly as much of a pain as the catheter, must remain till next week when drainage will hopefully have diminished to 30-40 ml per day. Dr. Tewari said I had healed well, better than normal. We celebrated -- my wife and daughter and I -- at a Korean restaurant in Ft. Lee. Yes, I had gas pains afterwards from the kim chee, but it was worth it! Thanks to all of you for the helpful and informative posts. Glad to see you are doing so well, Michael! I love kim chee, too! ;) Take care... and continued speedy recovery.... MikeH :) > Dear Family, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks to all of you for the helpful and informative posts. Congratulations on the negative margins Michael. Best wishes for that first postop PSA. Hmmm, "kim chee"? I must admit that I do not know what that is? Good luck to you!

KimChee is a green leaf type of salad that has been processed so that it is cold, crispy but hot tasting. It's yummy. Most hot foods tend to want to rip my tummy to shreds but not KimChee. Don't know why it doesn't happen, it is supposed to be good for the digestive system. Bev > Congratulations on the negative margins Michael. Best wishes for that first > postop PSA.

The kim chee my Korean friend used to make was fermented, pickled cabbage seasoned with hot pepper... MikeH :) Yep. Almost, but not entirely, unlike sauerkraut. >> KimChee is a green leaf type of salad that has been processed so that it >> is [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > seasoned with hot pepper... > MikeH :) I forgot to mention - it's a Korean food.
