What is dialation and what symptoms is it supposed to relieve?  Someone
posted that they had one done.  Hubby is having a major problem with
urination.  It seems that he feels an urgent need with burning when he
can go, but mostly there is nothing there to be relieved.  His Dr told

RRP August 1, 2003, and nine month follow-up visit today.  Still using pads,
1 or 2 a day.  Got a prescription to try Detrol.  The doctor said that he
could do a scope procedure to see what is going on in there, but that can
cause incontinence problems itself, so he does not want to ...

Good news:
My first followup PSA was < 0.1 .
I'm going all night without a pad, and seldom leak during the day.
Had enough of an erection last night that we didn't have to get into a kama

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way
computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo

Just got home from the Royal Marsden Hospital (London) after
commencing stage I clinical trial of taxotere combined with omnitarg.

Well, for some reason, AOL will not let me access this newsgroup from the
screen name I had been using, so I've been 'absent' from here since about
February.....
I never reported in my PSA results taken 2 weeks after my RP - it was 0.3.

It was the real thing!
Yes, it was long awaited and worth every minute.
Of course I'm watching with baited breath and saying "don't over pump it".
Well he didn't but we went to use it and it fell. So we tried the ring.

Know of any good ones? I could use one but all links I've tried from the
urologist are apparently defunked. Any info would be appreciated. This one

   Yesterday spent some time looking at other supposed "support"
newsgroups.  Was appalled by what I saw.  I have said before that I though
there was a great bunch of people here, but after what I saw yesterday I

estimates that he and his partner have done 1,000.   Is 50/year

There has been plenty of discussion about when does one stop worrying over
PSA tests. As I have mentioned in the past, my secretary takes better note
of my schedule than do I.  She advised me that my PSA had to be taken today.
I had forgotten all about it.

25 Rad treatments to go,
25 more to go,
I'm feelin so',

Have completed 13 of 25 IMRT and urine flow was grinding to a halt. Last
