Even after seven years of undetectable readings, I am still very nervous
about calling my urologist to find out the results of my latest PSA
test.  I used to make my wife do it, but the doctor's office won't tell
her anymore because of HIPAA.  Fortunately, I can look it up on my

Latest PSA is 0.18, up from 0.13, three months ago.  Planning to chat
with the Doc next week about the possibility of going back on Casodex
on an intermittent basis.  Will also discuss estrogen patches - and
whatever else we might come up with.

Most women are familiar with mammography as our "gold standard" for
breast cancer screening. However, there are additional tools available
that women can add to their arsenal.

and empty it via catheter, and stress it while full, all while watching
the bladder by continual X-ray and a pressure monitor, in an attempt to
determine the cause of lingering limited post-RP continence. The ...

consisted of a DRE, PSA, weight, height, pulse, BP, breathing, etc.
When he saw the Lidocain patches on the right leg, he asked, "How do
you know your pain isn't caused by metastasis?  We may need a biopsy."

I called him an Angel of Mercy, which he was.
He was also a dedicated and tireless advocate for all of us, including
the ladies (you should see the transcript of his speech about the ladies).

Hello fellow travellers.
Just had my RRProstatectomy last Tuesday. It is so much better having read
the experiences of others before me and knowing what to expect, both
operation and recovery wise.

Yup, it's snowing in Minnesota.
Got the shovels out of the shed and put 'em on the porch.
What a great day to be alive, and vertical!
God Bless,
