I would be interested in hearing from those in this NG who could provide me
with information about their experiences with penile implants. Having had RP
in December 2006 followed by Radiation (IMRT) in April/May of 2007 at 60
years of age I am now unable to achieve an erection. Meds ...

I have a PSA of 7.5 and have had two biopsy's. I found that there is a
test that was discovered four years ago that isn't being used.
EPCA or Early Prostate Cancer Antigen. It says if this anitgen is found
there is a 95% chance of cancer. Why in the world is this not being used

I just wanted to  let you know what has gone on since my first post, I
believe in the late fall. Larry had a Gleason scale of 3+3= 6 determined by
the 2nd biopsy.  Cancer on a microscopic level. He also had a history of
rising psa's. Larry is a young and healthy 58 year guy. Several ...

If you still can get messages on this group, I saw that I initially posted
on 10/02/07 10/16/07 and 10/24/07 about Larry and his psa etc..  His last
psa  then was 5.2. He had 2 biopsies. The first inconclusive ( suspicious )
and the second 3 months later  with the Gleason 3 +3,  ...

I'm still around, just lurking. Latest PSA yesterday was 0.2, a bit higher
than the previous 0.14, but I don't think the difference is significant
enough to fret over at this time. It's been about 3 1/2 years since the
brachytherapy and 2 years following a bypass. My only ...

Just a brief history:  First ever PSA test in January 1997 was 45+.
Bone scan OK. Lymph nodes at surgery on March 5, 1997 OK.  PSA tests
each three months for three years <0.1.  When PSA rose to almost 2
started on Lupron and later added Casodex.  <0.1 for three years then

And if the hot peppers don't work, researchers at Kimmel Cancer center in
Philadelphia have shown they can kill cancer cells by blocking a signaling
protein that is key to the cancers growth called
Stat5.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080228080532.htm

Well if the Hot-Peppers don't do the job maybe this new drug being
developed will do the job called M-219 from the University of Michigan.

I just wanted to post a little note to say that we just got back our 4th
PSA results since radiation ended.  Allen's PSA is still trending down at
0.02 (was at 0.05 three months ago).  We are very thankful for the results
(we still get "PSA anxiety" with every blood draw until the ...

Looks like they finally found an inexpensive cure for prostate cancer. Buy
stock in those Mexican restaurants. Hot peppers kill androgen dependent
and independent cancer cells.

Seems like only yesterday that my PSA exploded with mets to L2 & T3.
Certainly glad that I got real aggressive and started a Chemo trial at
Baylor College of Medicine in June of 2004.
Today, PSA still undetectible and best of all, scans are still clean.

What is the address for the newsgroup?  I want Jim to at least have it.  He
reads my diabetic support group newsgroup with me, and he needs to be
hearing what you all are saying.  I still am answering your replies to me,
but I can see things in your replies he needs to hear from ...

My husband, 68, is due for a robotic prostatectomy March 19th.
Our situation is that I (65) am totally disabled; he does everything for us.
It is my legs, rather the lack of use of my legs that defines my disability.

I am age 67 now and have been cancer free for 3 years.  I have
gathered solid evidence that
eliminating milk and dairy foods in my diet stopped my continuous
progression of  4 cancers
