I wanted to start a new thread about our previous discussion concerning
surgery results and 'big name' docs.
Glassman was involved in this.
He's right in saying that big names don't always mean great results.

Men who have been screened for prostate cancer by the most commonly
used tests have no greater chance of surviving the disease than those

In 2004 I had RP surgery with a Gleason 6 and a PSA of 3.4 (age 68 at the
time).  The surgery confirmed the orignal Gleason of 6, with the margins
clean, Extraprostatic Extension clean, Seminal Vesicle invasion clean,
Lymphovascular Invasion clean and a Stage of T2C.

I feel like sharing the good news I just got.  After two years of
bouncing PSA after HDR brachytherapy, I've finally hit a great
number - 0.2.  It might be just a low bounce but (knocking
furiously on wood) it's got me feeling great.

My 77  year father when he first time was diagnosed (PSA was 500) of
prostate cancer went immediatelly to orchiectomy and after that hormonal
therapy which was working for about one year (maybe less). After that he
stopped to take hormonal pills because tha PSA ant that time was ...

One doc I interviewed stated he regularly prescribes Heparin to avoid

Have any of you guys suffered lower back, pelvic area or thigh pain
attributable to Zoladex and/or Casodex?

I'm considering Dr. Gerald Chodak of the Weiss Group in Chicago to
perform my RRP in a month. Anyone here have any experience with him and
do you want to share it?
Thanks,

I have been reading a lot about the ability of pomegranate juice to
inhibit the progession of PCa.  In a recently published study, 48 men
with recurrent prostate cancer (previously treated by surgery or
radiation) who drank 8 oz of pomegranate juice, experienced

How much does an RRP cost? How much does the DaVinci procedure cost? I
know there are endless variables, and expenses such as doc, anesthesia,
nursing, hospital, meds, etc.I'm just looking for a ballpark figure.
10g's, 25g's, 100g's?

It's been 8 days and I have severe pain just above the right leg (side
device was put on) in the lower abdomen. It hurts most when I bend
straight over, or stand straight up. It is from the tube leading to the
reservoir, which is rubbing against tissue/nerves. Anyone heard of such

While I have no need for this stuff and hopefully never will, there are
a couple of questions I have about salvage radiation that I'm sure many
of you can answer.  First off, when they say radiate the "prostate bed"
(in the absence of a specific tumor to aim at), what exactly does ...

A few questions on the use of 20mcg injections which are new to me.
I can get about 40% of an erection with 20mg of Lavitra, but not enough
to be of any use. On 12/23 I had an appt at my doc's office and they had
me inject myself with 10mcg of Caverject. No problem injecting it,
