Welcome to Traditional Tibetan Healing, your source for effective

I haven't posted here in awhile. I got my latest PSA results today and
it still hovers around 0.08. It has been 2 1/2 years since my RRP and
my previous 6 month PSA readings have been .03, .08, .06., .05.
My urologist speculates that he left a sliver of benign prostate cells

Well, it was my turn in the barrel.  The urologist recommended surgery,
however, I've had several hernia ops where mesh was used.  Apparently, this
is a major complication to prostate removal.  My PSA was 4.4 with a gleason
score of 6.  Thus the seeding was done on Dec. 29th.  3 ...

My husband has been diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with prostate
cancer, slow growing.
The radiation seeds treatment is recommended by his Urologist and
Oncologist at the Cancer center at our hospital.

Hi, How do I  keep  up with this group switching from my Webtv to a PC ?

I have I'm told, an advanced Prostate Cancer that has gone to the Bones.
Had a bone scan, a PSA test of 140 - no Gleason score as yet.

The VA has begun a formal program to offload much of its cost to TriCare
and any other insurance we have. Part of that program includes billing

I just off the phone with my urologist's office, and my first
post-surgery PSA number came back.  It's under 0.01!  I'm going to run
upstairs right now and bust into the middle of my wife's class with the
news.  

Hello, all.
I'll be heading off to surgery at Columbia Presb, NYC with Dr. Samadi,
one day soon, and as I prepare, I'm curious what those of you that have
had RLRP would recommend to me by way of preparation and aftercare.

Last night was the most comfortable yet.  The "backflush" pain from
urinating seems to have passed.  And I can pee freely again with little
discomfort.  However, I have been experiencing gas, or what feels like
pressure in the rectum that eases when I do pass gas.  I increased my ...

I'm scheduled for RRP in Feb.
My question is does anyone think that it is possible to drive 300 miles
after waiting 1 week?
I'm 61 and in reasonably good shape.

Now about seven weeks post-RRP (11/17/2006), my local urologist
recommended a collogen injection to the neck of my bladder via
cystoscopy, scheduled next month, to help dry me out. He also
prescribed 15 mg. of Enablex. He gave me an injection in my arm to test

I've gotten a lot of help from the group, now I'm asking for a few more
comments.
My PSA history is below. Back in March 2006 I had a biopsy, 14 cores, of
which two were directed.

unfortunatelly father died in may, 2006. he was all the time conscious until
last day. he phoned my brother and could say only word: come. broter came
and he grabed his hand and died. strange, how can man predict his death?
