Today is Thursday November 3rd. I just arrived home from my surgery, which
was performed on Tuesday November 1. I must say that it was not as

Boy, I can't believe the things I have talked about on this group.
Here's another embarrasing moment.
I have noticed bright red blood on my stool for the last couple of days.
Had radiation 2.5 years ago after an RP for PCa

About 5 years ago, my dad had prostate cancer, and received externally
applied radiation to destroy it.  This apparently was successful, but

I had nerve-sparing RRP  on March 29,  2004 at age 62 without complications.
Initially I used 6 to 8 depend man-pads daily.  By 7 months ...

millennium computer problems for you PC people( Mac user here ), I had a

I stand up for what I believe in.  I post my results along with this
verse from Psalm 109:30 -- 'With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly

Just celebrated the one year anniversary of my RRP, and got back the
lastest PSA results...
I went from <0.01 on all previous tests to 0.00 on this last one...
