As some of you may be aware from an earlier post of mine, I just found
this discussion group about 2 hours ago. I wish I had found it earlier!
I had radioactive seeds implanted into my prostate gland approximately
10 hours ago, and a ecstatic with my recovery to this point. I will ...

Not sure where everyone is, but on Channel 2 News in Chicago at 10pm
tonite, there is suppose to be a health segment on a new way to treat
prostate cancer without radiation. So if anyone can get CBS news in
Chicago tonite, it might be worth a look at.  Nothing posted on the

Hi all - not thrilled to be here.  I just turned 47 and by a lucky fluke had
my PSA checked.  Urologist said it was high, let's do a biopsy.  Results
caught me off guard - of the 10 samples 8 were malignant, one uncertain and
only one was clear.  I'm now scheduled for CT scans and ...

I start my fasting for my cholesterol and post-RRP PSA test and go in
in the morning, 3/24, for the blood work.  This will be my first PSA
since my 12/15/2003 robotic RP.  I am a little anxious about the PSA.

I've read many posts in this n.g. about incontinence, E.D., viagra, etc.,
but not much about dry orgasms.
I'm approaching a year post IMRT treatment, and the good news is I'm totally
continent and can achieve a decent erection. The bad news is that the "dry"

It has been four days since Phil's surgery, he is home and up.  It is
sort of a funny site, I got him a plastic pail for the catheter bag,
and he just walks around holding on to the pail.  His spirits are
great and he said that the catheter is not as bad has he thought it

The PSA is back down.  History every other week: 44, 10, 32, 36, 31, 10.
 Perhaps it is merely being off the chemicals, or maybe it is the ice cream...
I am off the chemotherapy "permanently", at least for quite a while, so perhaps

My husband of 33 years was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June of
2003, and he had surgery October 22, 2003.  The process has been a
struggle for the two of us: reading books on prostate cancer;
researching treatments; 3 discussion sessions with a local urologist;

I was told that Tomatoes, blueberries etc were good foods to consume for
their anti-toxin abilities, are there other foods that can be used for the
same result?  I am recovering from Post prostate cancer surgery and, as you
can imagine, would like more of a variety in my diet.

Posted about this a few days ago and though an update might be
helpful.  My surgeon-who-was-to-be called today and said he had
reviewed the op. notes of my hernia repair (bilateral laparoscopic
with mesh--1999) and cannot perform the retropubic procedure.  He said
