Fantastic news on the biopsy! Does your URO have a plan going forward to monitor? I was in a similar situation when my journey began....
Continence is coming along. Some days better than others. If I don't let my bladder get too full, it's not much of an issue. More drips and dribbles than constant flow. There is movement down under....
Happy to report my 1 month PSA came back .064. I can rest a little better now given positive margins. It’s not over yet, but hopefully the 90 day results will continue to be good....
Welcome to the club no one asked to join. Don't sweat a biopsy. I've had four biopsies, each one they put me under. Once you get over the initial visual shock of having blood in stool, urine, and...
Never say never. I'm a G6 that went to G8 in a seemingly short time frame... I'm now of the opinion that if a person is physically able to handle the surgery and recovery, I'd get it out of me sooner...
I'm going to be the exception to the rule and speak from my personal experience. My case is very similar to your husband's. There's a wealth of knowledge on this forum and I have the utmost respect...
Not as bad as I had imagined, so I am pretty happy ten days out. Feeling pretty normal and can even manage to sit in a hard chair for a while. Sure is nice not to have that leash! I now have much...
After catching the hose on kitchen cabinet knob TWICE, I am much more aware of the extra appendage! Thankfully it will be removed Monday. That's where I got it from. Cracks me up. A-aron...
I know there is no way of knowing for certain. Given my progression I say that because my biopsies went from 0 cores to 1 core 20% Gleason 6 to 0 cores to 9 cores with a Gleason 8 over the course of...
I am 5 days post RALP. From all indications, surgery was a success. Except for having a bag of urine following me everywhere, recovery is going smoothly. Cath comes out Monday. I am still a bit...
Met with Dr. Figenshau in St. Louis yesterday. Scheduling surgery on Monday. Sounds like it will be sometime in October before I can get it done. My urologist, an oncologist (friend of a friend),...
You are correct. Eager (as a guy with PC can be) to see what they have to say....
Since last post, I have had bone scan and CT. Both came back clean. Pathology report from Johns Hopkins lowered one of the 8's to a 7. But I still have an 8... Met with local RO yesterday. He is in...
Your experience is very similar to mine. My PCP ordered a PSA for the first time when I was 48. I thought it a bit premature until I got the results... 8.83 and I have been taking 1.5mg of...
No Cipro. Only time I can recall taking was at biopsy time, which was post ruptures....
I've not yet been able to find anything definitive one way or another, so thought I'd throw it out here. Up until I hit 47 years old, I had been relatively injury free. All of a sudden, I tore a...
URO said that with the Gleason 8's found in latest biopsy, he leans towards surgery and didn't feel comfortable sparing nerves. He's sending me to local RO for options also. I'm working on getting...
Met with primary URO today to discuss latest biopsy. He has ordered a CT and bone scan and wants me to meet with RO, but felt removal is probably the best option. He said he wasn't comfortable...
Funny you should mention the eclipse... I've already told my wife that any treatment will have to wait until after the eclipse. I'll be flying a high altitude balloon during the eclipse taking video...
I met with RO right after initial diagnosis. AS was the plan recommended by URO and RO so never really discussed any treatment plan. I've had time to better educate myself, so feel better prepared...
Duly noted. Thanks!...
I'm in Carbondale, IL Aaron...
