My father started his radiation treatment for a recurrent prostate cancer
(elevated post-RRP PSA) about two weeks ago. Unfortunately, the machine that
they are using on him keeps breaking down quite often. This means that he
has to take breaks between his treatments, sometimes ...

Had robotic surgery on 12/14/04 at 53 with The Cleveland Clinic Hospital
here in Weston, So Florida. Just got up enough nerve to have my psa
checked last Monday. I was a few weeks late, I know. I was clinically a
T1c, Gleason 6, and psa of 7.6. Path report came back T2c, 4+3, no

Found this little bit of advice today...kind of apropos. Thought that
I'd share it.
Facing the Enemies Within
We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe

A friend of mine went to the doctor recently for a routine
checkup.  He had just retired and had a boatload of plans
for enjoying himself.
The PSA test in his checkup came back 245.  He got

I had RRP surgery 11 days ago.  Doing great, feeling great, and it keeps
getting better and better.  Common wisdom says to walk, so in addition
to roaming the house, I've been on the treadmill 20 or 30 minutes every
day for the week I've been home.  For the past few years, I ...

thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post.
I guess this is a bit of ranting. I just find that although I can get it up
with manual stimulation it is just not as stiff as it used to be and it
comes down quickly.

Seeking response from any West Aussies who had HDR Brachytherapy at F
Block SCGH under Clinical Trials program RADAR 03.04
Can you please tell me if the Cost of the Urologist who does the
Cystoscopy was covered in the program, or did you have to fund it

I just recommended the phoenix5 website to a friend on a list, and another
person pointed out that the site has not been updated in 2 years, so some
information is not current.  Is anyone in touch with Robert's wife?  Any
plans to try and update the info??  I still feel that ...

Maybe due to the big jpg. files.

any information about your experience getting off of Flomax would be
appreciated.  Did you get advice from your Urologist?  I am over 4
months post seeding and wondering if I am ready to stop using it.
Thanks

I'm really quite suprised to learn from this group how (vitally)
important potency is to the lives of so many people, I had know idea
this was the case. I'm 55, single, and really have no interest in that
anymore (the hormones aren't raging like they did 20-30 years ago). I

Hi again all
You may recall I posted about the pompous Brit in the XRT waiting room
a couple of weeks ago.
He's 73, PSA was 24.0, 3 cores G9, 2 cores G7 and others benign.

i ran across this article in the local newspaper and we, at the
newsgroup, have made references to particular type of drug or treatment
over another, as doctors will do, when you go for their advice.  what
makes this article is even intriguing.

Hello all,  It has been ages since I posted.  My husband Allen just had his
second PSA test taken.  This time his regular doctor took it, versus his
urologist. In his original post-surgical (surgery August 2004) PSA he was
at .04 (great news!) He just had another test and the ...

 a great experience that lasted a little to long( 4hrs). My second with
caverjet lasted only 2 hrs, third only 45 minutes. The 4th injection did
not work, and had great pain. I wen to Urologist and ...
