Greetings!, My wife Lorna is going through a 12 month chemotherapy treatment
after two brain surgeries were unsuccessfully at removing a brain tumor. As
you can imagine, our medical bills were and still are insurmountable. We
found a very helpful site that gave us links to grants we ...

My surgery is next week, and I should have thought to ask my surgeon this
question when I last met with him, but since I didn't -
When do they put the catheter "IN"?  Before, or after the anesthetic takes
effect?

I have taken all three of the ED medications and would like to share
their relative effectiveness.  I have taken Viagra in doses ranging
from 25mg to 125mg (recommended dose 100mg), Levitra both 10 and 20 mg
(recommended dose 20mg), and one Cialis dose of 10mg (recommended dose

I have been looking over the postings in this group for the past hour or
so. I have also read Walsh's book (given to me to read by my urologist).
I had a PSA of 5.3 and after taking Cipro for a month the repeat PSA was
again 5.2. I have been getting annual DRE's and this is the ...

I talked with Berky (and his wife) last night. He's doing well. He has good
days and bad days but no real pain. Sometimes he uses a cane and sometimes
he uses a walker. He tires easily. He has plenty of meds to keep him
comfortable. Sometimes he remembers and sometimes he forgets. ...

I wonder if any one out there is on watchful waiting. I am 74, PSA of
5.1 from 3.9 a year ago and a gleason of 3=3. One sample out of 12 was
2% cancer. I was given a choice of WW or seeds after hormone treatment.
I was told by several urologists that WW is a reasonable option if ...

RRP December 11. Uneventful convalescence.
During an office visit three hours ago, the doctor removed the catheter. He
gave me a pad and some Kegel instructions and sent me home. We stopped at
Costco on the way home and I bought a box of Depends. Just a few minutes

  So I'm in the hospital waiting room this week, for my little wifes
hysterectomy to get done. Who comes walking by, but my PCa surgeon from last
year. We exchange pleasantries, and he asks me why I'm there? I tell him the
aliens will be quite puzzled after today. When my wife and ...

  Well guys looks like we made it to another year. Isn't that what this is
all about? Trying to maintain a decent quality of life, while attempting to
outrun PCa, and die of a heart attack or get hit by a truck instead?

Scores, and ages as reported by the members when they join.  I sorted them
by the treatment dates and came up with some very interesting information.
The methodology is far from industry standards.  Therefore, I ...
