Thank you all so much for your kind replies and words of comfort. I see many of you are going through your own battles and my hope is you will have many more years to go traveling around ole Sol and...
Thank you so much....
Yes that is exactly true. We thought his ticker was going to be what got him, and then this PS just came out of no where....
Thank you. Dad was 87 and I am 47, so I can not complain at all ! Well, a few more years would have been nice but it just wasnt meant to be....
Very much appreciated....
Yes, the doctor did say dad was showing signs of dementia, I think he was just getting ready to check out. Thank you for the kind words....
Thank you for those kind words....
Wow, and it seems like it all happens so fast....
We werent told exactly what kind of cancer it was. We went from heart failure as a suspect to cancer and passing away all in 3 days. Crazy stuff. Thanks for your kind words, we are handling it...
Very sorry to hear this. My father in law had a hip replacement and they had to go back in later because the socket wasnt the right size. Sounds like the same thing that happened to your mom except...
My brother was having to be the one that dealt with the hospital and doctors for my dad. Since they have no internet access, I was trying to get information and relay to him what I could. Dad did...
My dad passed after finding his PSA was over 600. He lasted about a year with chemo/hormone shots. Crummy way to go. Whats worse is the doctor saying his PSA had come down to normal around 2 and all...
I do not know what they used. Scan showed it in his pelvis, spine and ribs. What do you guys think? Im trying to find some hope with this....
They went ahead and did the biopsy, said it was a rare form of PC, had to give him some other type of blood clotting drug, starting chemo. Doesnt chemo thin the blood?...
I have been poking my nose around in the Lyme Disease subject for a while now. I havent had the test yet, but I sure have all the symptoms. From what I can see, there arent many "cured" people out...
I think they will keep him because of a bleed risk. Is there something they can do to make his blood better for a longer time? Hopefully long enough to be able to do some type of treatment? They are...
Still havent got an answer on the PSA score in April. I have asked my brother, since he is the one that stays at the hospital with dad. No blood in urine. They have just done a spinal epidural I...
They did not say, just that it checked out good in April. When they called on the phone I had to ask what the current level was, I did not think to ask about the other one. They just acted shocked...
Thank you for the reply, Im trying to figure all this out quickly....
I will discuss this if I get a chance....
I will mention it to the doctor....
That is what the doctor said. I think you are right, scan first. Maybe even another PSA test?...
That is what I have been seen from the research I have been doing. I wonder if something in the lab was messed up?...
Not sure where to post this since I havent went to a doctor to check it out. Here is the story. Im 45 and have a host of sysmtoms that come and go. Although one symptom tends to stay, and that is...
Thanks Andrew. Not sure if anything can be done , but I hope so. Even a couple more years would be nice....
Thanks and will do....
My dad is 88 and has a pacemaker and heart valves replaced. Has been doing well, but last week he had some bruising show up on his leg, thinking it was the Warfarin, so we took him to his main...
