I'm sitting in the patient room, working through some HIPPA paperwork,
thinking about a hell of a lot of stuff I got going on at work (worked 7

  Can anyone please tell me what to expect with the Caverjet
injection?  Does it work like Viagra, stimulation is required to

My husband Merle went through treatment for PCa in 1996. He had Lupron for 6

indicated that I had osteopena which as I understand it , is one step
below osteoporosis.However my primary physician prescribed Fosamax
several years ago,so I suppose it is under control.

What a wonderful group we have here. Discussion helps us all.
Am 65, have had the procedures, am well and most things are
working just fine ! Pee like a racehorse.
But....sex isn't what it used to be. Have tried Viagra and it

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer about three weeks ago.  Had an
unusually high PSA (10), but also had a colon infection...urologist
retested, 2nd result was 6.  Had 8-point biopsy, positive in one-tenth
of one sample, Gleason 6 (3+3).  I'm 45 years old.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "since you're motorcycles have made
people happy, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."
Arthur ! thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out

just got a peek at my post op pathology report, and everything (to me)

To answer Mike's question and sort of as a celebration - it will be two
years tomorrow since my husband had his brachytherapy. The brachy was the
final treatment after 25 EBRT's. His last PSA test was 0.15
So everyone raise your glass or cup and join me in a toast!
