Finally, after (almost) two years, Larry had *full* success with the
Viagra/Muse combo.  Two years with not even a stuffable erection and for
whatever reason, today was the day.  It honestly was like pre-surgery days
and we both cried!!  He has been so frustrated that I was ...

It has been years since I posted here;
Diagnosed March 28, 2000  PSA 39.6

I am a candidate for the UK trial as I meet all the critera and should
be starting in the next few weeks.  In the UK it is "Phase 3,
Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Abiraterone
Aceate (SB7630) Plus Prednisone in Patients With Metastatic Castration-

Everything going well but started noticing blood after urinating. At the
very end there are drops of blood. Not really any discomfort, not anymore
than usual anyway. Is this normal? I admit I had started going back to a
normal routine, grocery shopping, bathing my 2 year old son, ...

Sorry I haven't been engaged lately...life has been crazy....the
clinical trial, work, daughter graduated HS, going to college,...etc,
etc.
Finished 8/10 doses of Taxotere and mid way through my hormone

You may already know of this, but I just came across it.

For the record, I've gotten through six months post-op with PSA <0.01.  I'm
more than a little apprehensive about these tests since the post surgery
pathology showed one or more microscopic positive margins in my prostate.  I
sure hope those PSA results continue!

Psa check and it's <0.01 after almost five years from rrp.
Age 58
Gleason score 3+2

Does anyone know the stats of erectile dysfunction of surgery vs
proton beam five years after treatment?

Last two PSAs were 0.9  This week it was down to 0.6  But....I also suffer
from kidney stones, and have had two episodes in the past 3 months.
Scheduled for the lithotrypsy procedure in 2 weeks.  I have heard pros and
cons about the after effects.

I've been intermittent with ADT after failing radiation for about 10 years.
Recently I started 3 mg daily of melatonin.  This sleep aid has slightly
reduced my PSA (now 2.98). Has anyone else looked into the over-the-counter
drug ?  I have misplaced the article suggesting the use ...

The header says it all, I just got my two year anniversery PSA results back.
I feel cured, but I know it can always come back. Incontinence is not a
problem but erections are still mostly elusive. Injections work, but are not
all that satisfying.

RLRP was done 6/2 as posted earlier.  Due to various scheduling issues I
finally met with my surgeon today and reviewed path report and general
progress.
My biopsy was done based on my brothers experience with a .8 PSA and a lump

Why do they call it nerve sparing surgery when some of the nerves are
removed? Also, why don't they tell you in advance that nerve sparing doesn't
mean that you will have all of your nerves after the surgery. I lost just
over 20% of my nerves on both sides. Lots of post surgery ...
