Today marks the first anniversary of my surgery....
RLRP (DaVinci robotic LRP) at UANT/Arlington, TX.
So far the PSA's have been <0.01 and the Doc has been pleased with my

  Hey everybody long time no post! How's all my old pals? I've been
successfully ducking my latest PSA testing for several months now.  Doesn't

daily. I had Polio in 1940 at age 10 and am confined to a wheelchair and

I had planned to start salvage RT and had an appointment back in Jan.
to get a Lupron shot as part of that Tx. I also had an appointment w/ a
new uro the day before. The uro told me that he had seen no proof that
adjuvant HT prior to and during RT had any beneficial effect on ...

Is anyone familiar with the AO Force supplements from aoforce.com or with
Proancyol 2000.  Both appear to be valid supplements for PC survivors.

I have PC and need to choose a surgeon in the Boston area for RRP. I
know of a few but the search process is overwhelming. I have seen Dr.
Loughlin at BWH (looks good) and Dr. Libertino at Lahey Clinic has been
highly recommended. Does anyone know of Dr. LaFontaine at Mt. Auburn in
