I made it through the Pca dx in 03 , had seeds implanted in 04, PSA has been
fine so far, had a quad bypass in 2/06 and made some serious lifestyle
changes, sorry Glassman, as much as I like the red meat, it's almost totally
gone now. It may be the combination of better blood ...

quite satisfied with the surgery. Dr. Tewari has done thousands of these and
taught others worldwide how to do it. He is also a ...

For those of you have been down the PC lane for a while I have some
questions with, I guess, no real answers. Knowing what you know now, what if
