ams 800
Has anyone had a problem with the control pump for the ams 800 being in the wrong place? It seems like it horizontal instead of vertical like the pictures I have seen. It was installed on Monday, Feb. 16. If so, should I be contacting my doctor about this issue before my 2 week appointment? Thanks for any advice on this…

Active Surveillance or Radical Prostatectomy?

I am 54 years old and my urologist at USC said I have two options; 1) Active Surveillance or 2) Radical Prostatectomy via Di Vinci.…

TRT
I thought this an interesting article. I have been on Casodex for two years, which I stopped one month ago. I then started an anabolic steroid which actually reduces T levels. I have been concerned about having very low levels of testosterone and my decision is to take Androl 50 mg. for about three weeks. I am only…

Post-RP
I'm starting a new thread, since I am now post-surgical removal, and any future discussion will be of different matters from those when I was figuring out which First-Line therapy to go with. I got the cath out this morning. They filled my bladder with fresh water first, to see how much bladder control I had, and I was…
