When Steve joined this forum, I posted that he had been warned on other forums, and should not be allowed to join here. My post was removed by a moderator who told me it was “not supportive”.

Well, don’t say that I didnt warn you. Honoring his request is in everyone’s best interest.

 

I agree.

Informed Consent

I digitally signed my informed consent for my upcoming 4-hour prostatectomy procedure and was not offered a printed copy. So I asked (and recommend everyone ask) for a printed copy and was told not to be too alarmed by all the risks of the procedure. In the two pages of risks, it included gas being trapped in tissues dangerously affecting blood flow and heart function, stricture, nerve damage, intestine damage, loss of this loss of that, and ends with the last risk being death. I did a lot of research and also found there had been a law suit at my treatment facility for a person who had a prostatectomy who experienced permanent blindness apparently due to a very long surgery (I assume complications and cranial pressure from the head-down tilt for so long).  I asked my surgeon about that case and of course I wasn't told many details but knew it had been years before and with a different surgical team.  Adverse events or side effects can happen with any of the treatment options so I'm not sure it's worth assuming had you chosen a differnt treatment you would have had a better outcome. There are not guarantees so we all have to make an individual decision and manage through any negative side effects or outcomes as best as possible.

Hi there,

99.9% chance you will go through it OK, best of luck and bonne continuation!

Regards,

Georges

Agree

I agree with Georges regarding suppression.  Many guys here are suffering from serious emotional trials, and should be allowed to vent.    I do feel that it is counter-productive when a newcomer seeking advice sees posts that scream that "Prostectomy always sucks" or that "radiation always sucks.'  Such posts are medically and statistically inaccurate, but should not be banned.

“this may sound selfish Can a moderator please block me posting I need to get on with my life and right now I am stuck and this forum is not helping me at all sorry but thanks      Also I will be honest I private message almost every newcomer and I warned them about this form and some of the people on here and I always advise them to do the surgery and to stay away from this form hopefully this will get me blocked “

His posts, as distasteful as they have become, is not why I think he should be banned.  The actions described in the above quote of contacting new members is why I think he should be banned.
