Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / December 2003PVP+1.5years
Nothing new to report at 18 months after PVP. No BPH symptoms (AUA score 0). Very strong flow (50 ml/sec). No frequency or urgency, can hold all day and all night if I want to. No retro or any other side effects. PSA is 1.6, same as six months ago. So far results are very durable. Glad to see others enjoying similar results especially Derry in the UK. Patrick > Glad to see others enjoying similar results especially > Derry in the UK. Patrick, If things progress as they have done so far I am afraid my posts are going to be very very boring! I swept out and hosed down four kennels this morning, brought in a bucket of coal (lifted and tipped the sack -- must be about 35lbs in there), and brought in a few logs for the fire. Went out this evening to see if there was any water in the pond or any ducks coming in to feed (no to both). Then had a short walk back to the Land Rover. Nothing remarkable at all though I did see a nice covey of Greys patridges (Huns to you guys) and saw signs of a fox! :) I think I would have got tired quickly if I had stretched myself but I am determined to take it easy. Next week I may sit out for a deer or the fox as I am behind on the cull anyway. I have come to the conclusion that the slight light headedness I am experiencing is due to the pain killers I have been prescribed. Can't think why I have them because I have had no pain to speak of. Earlier there were a few dark flakes in my urine, probably scar tissue as I had similar after the biopsy. The kennel duties were mildly tiring and I did worry a bit about the coal lifting afterwards but everything is OK. I don't intend to do anything that will be a strain. I'll report back after the check ups. Derry dERRY: You don't consider this straining --- scary!!! I wish I was in half the physical shape you are!! BTW -- how soon can one do treadmill exercise after PVP??? Mel > > Glad to see others enjoying similar results especially > > Derry in the UK.

That is yet to be revealed. I'd guess that Muir will want to see me one more time at least. He seems very thorough. I am now getting the hang of these London round trips and may try to do it without an over night stop, possibly using the Sleeper. Derry > > Where will you get the check ups ?

Not unless they video taped it. As far as I know, only Muir, Cutting, and Degun attended (apart from the usual nurses and anaesthetist). When I went down for the initial interview, Muir asked if I'd mind some students attending the operation, adding that "King's is a teaching hospital, after all". I said I'd no objections but so far as I am aware, this did not happen. At 75 grams I doubt that I'd have been a very interesting case anyway. Mike Degun seems to get around. He said he was just off to visit several EU countries. I think Belgium and Germany are on the list. I know he was recently in the Far East. He's a very likeable guy and very switched on.

Must have done over 200 miles and I still feel 100% fit. I've given up on the pain killers -- not needed. Derry |
