Some weeks ago, I mentioned that my husband's biopsy samples had shown a
score of 9 for 11 samples and 10 for one.   He had a bone scan, which showed
cancer everywhere.   This was followed by his first shot of Lupron.
Yesterday, he had a cystoscopy which showed (thank the Lord) a ...

I'm scheduled to have the sphincter implant a week from Tuesday, but I
flunked my EKG test. I'm going to see the heart specialist for further
evaluation.
However, the nurse at preop testing said something about collagen

I have been using the Osbon pump and am not very happy with it.  It
tends to suck my scrotum inside and also when the constriction bands
are pushed off the cylinder I am given a painful snap.  I also have
had to use two rings to maintain an erection which of course means a

The 2 Steve's comments on Cryo problems surprised me.   I did not know
about Cryo side effects.
Anyone. I wonder about your side effects from your treatment.  I don't
believe the stats or the statements in the books and articles.

No, I'm not changing my name to TigersFan or MetsFan. I'm approaching
the half year mark of my participation in a clinical trial that
requires me to take Zolodex and Casodex for two years. My 8 gleason and
undetectable PSA after RRP made me eligible. So far minor hot flashes

I have been recently diagnosed with PC.  I am 56 and otherwise in
excellent health.  Gleason is 6 (3+3), PSA is 2.8, the biopsy of 12
cores shows the right side with 60% to 70% cancer in the apex and mid,

My US TOO group's newsletter has an interesting table on the number of
Breast Cancer (BCa) and PCa deaths per 100,000 in 50 countries.

US is 28th in PCa, CA 25th, AU is 22nd and UK is 21st.  It's so nice to be

News story: researchers are using acoustic signals to detect skin cancer
cells in blood, and are looking for ways to create similar markers for other
kinds of cancer.

Has anyone been excused from jury duty due to the side effects of Pca
treatment,
frequent need to urinate on short notice, etc ??????

It has been close to seven years since I've posted here.  When I first
came here for support and suggestions, I had been diagnosed and came
back with a Gleason score of 7.  Today, I had a checkup and things
look good.  My PSA has been holding at 0.2 for the past four years, up

Being over a month out of robotic, I was given the go-ahead for sexual
activity. Despite using only about 2 pads/day now, I find that as soon
as sexual excitement begins I start leaking like crazy. "Willie" is
responding w/o meds to about 75% capacity. But obviously, intercourse

We are three weeks away from surgery.  We are doing our best to enjoy
the time but it seems we cannot get through a day without the pending
surgery and cancer diagnosis being our companion....we are taking a
quick trip and Paul is taking off the week and a half off prior to

Is the ubiquitous Dr. Joseph Mercola reliable? His website and books
cover a LOT of ground, but that in itself means nothing. I ask because
his site prints this:

Unfortunately, I lost the original post, but want to reply to whoever asked
me the question.  Sorry!!
Anyway, not sure why the surgeon said no sex for eight weeks.  Maybe he
wants to give the repaired nerves time to heal?  Guess we'll find out on
