PSA test was drawn Monday morning early.  Called today as
instructed to get the results.  No call yet...ugh!  I hate this wait.

I tried Cialis in lieu of Viagra for the first time last night. Wow!!
I'm hooked on it. My wife prefers morning sex and I can take it the
night before rather than get up an hour earlier in the morning to take
it. It gave me a lot more bang for the buck for being 4 1/2 months

This is a passage from Businessweek:
"POTENTIAL RISK."  The problem with the PSA test is that it's too
sensitive -- and that can lead to unnecessary treatments with nasty
side effects, including incontinence and impotence. In a large

I have been diagnosed with very little prostate cancer.  Out of 14
snippets taken during my biopsy, only one showed a trace of just 5%.
I refuse to have the prostatectomy!  However, I have heard wonderful
things about the freezing procedure.

I posted a question a while back about post seeding urination issues, since I was
concerned about that potential problem. The responses were helpful, and set my mine to
rest. Its only fair that I post my experience after a couple of days.
I was seeded on the 2nd (I had voted ...

I am 56 and have Gleason of 3 + 4 = 7.  PSA 10.9
Have had a turp and the biopsy was done at the same time.
Will be seeing Oncologist for the 1st time on Tuesday.  Wondering if the
seed implants may be worthwhile?

Well, it has been going on 10 months since my RRP and I had my PSA taken
yesterday. It returned today as 0.04 (undetectable). That is three tests
so far. Hope it stays that way.

Used shampoo last night to "help myself" under use it or lose it theory,
had disasterous results skin is like wrinkled paper and cracking had to see a
dermatologist and it's like a bad chemical burn.Cream is supposed to help.
Clearly this is not the thing to do .

I've just got my latest PSA results - <0.01 - all good! Next appointment
12 months away.
The doc gave me some Levitra to try to get over the next hurdle, maybe
I'll be able to pole vault over it :-)

I am trying to help my father decide a treatment plan. He had radical
prostate surgery 5.5 years ago (in 1999) and a biochemical recurrence
was detected early this year - around January. He has a tumor (about a
centimeter big) detected near his collar bone. He is trying to decide

As someone about to undergo radiotherapy for prostate cancer, I wonder what
side-effects I can expect, or where to look on the net for further
information.
I assume I will experience proctitis, and possibly diarrhea, also tiredness

My father died last year of prostate cancer. He was Dx in 1994 and had
radition and seeds in 1997. The cancer came back a few years later.
I talked to his urologist shortly after his death, as my father never
wanted to talk about his cancer.

My Dr. gave me Viagra... perscription for a little more help with ed.
I get a 100 mgs pill and use about 1/3.  It is very good, and works well.

since the sex with the drug is fantastic.

  Well, last regular uro visit this morning.  Have to wait a couple
days for the PSA results, 15 months out now.  The bad news is that in

where I shall stay forever more :(((  .    Advice = do the Kegels and
