A few months ago, I posted here for the first time, seeking some
information about my options for treating my PCa.  I wanted to first

sub-discussion on net etiquette!).  I have continued to follow the

Thank you for your insight and many thought provoking subjects.  We've
been fighting this battle since 2002.
I'm wondering about your thoughts concerning PCa and vasectomy.  I
remember asking the Uro if there could be any connection to being more

I was diagnosed with PC late in 1999. Underwent radiation in 2000 and
relapsed in 2005 now with hormone implants. I began to detect waning
sexual function in 2000 and initiated a three way relationship with a
friend of mine and my wifes.

I wrote to this group six months ago after a rise in PSA  from .5 to
1.8 in 20 months. I'm 47, and in good health. My stats were:
7/2002 .9     (method unknown)
10/2004 .5   (Hybritech Access)

would you do so and which one will you pick?
2. Knowing what you know now, would you have waited instead of rushing

This is a subject that comes up all the time.  I recommend that all
people considering surgery read this.  I know Catalona is one of the
best.
In the Fall 2006 edition of QUEST, published by the

I just want to drop a quick note. We went to the Dr.today for result.
The margins were negative.  Gleason went from 6 to 7.  The seminal
vessel base (both) showed cancer. The Dr. said it just puts him at a
higher precentage for cancer to return but he is happy with his

As you may remember, Henry and I are relatively new to all this.   Perhaps
someone can answer my question.
My husband had a Lupron shot on August 29 and will get the second one on
December 29, given by the nurse.   There has been no mention of a follow-up

i was told to walk a lot and not lift anything heavier than 15 lbs for
6 weeks.
how critical is it to recovery of incontenence and ed?
i walked 30 to 45 minutes during the first 2 weeks after surgery.

With all of our ailments and troubles, I wish the very best to all.

we wouldn't be here trying to help and lend support.
