Greetings all

Radical robotic Prostectomy 12/8/23. Subsequent PSA’s went from 0 to .42 over next 12 months. Doubling every 3 months

So, I just finished week 5 of my SRT treatment. No issues first week. Lots of bathroom visits end of 2nd week at one point I was positive that my anus had blown off and I would see it floating in the toilet

The most important lesson I learned from that was “What goes in, will come out”

starting week 3 I changed my diet completely and have not had an issue with the runs since. I’m very regular now. Usually have 3 bowel movements (like squeezing toothpaste from the tube) in the morning before my appointment

Anyone interested in what my daily intake is feel free to ask

Have to cut 2 acres grass today Wish me luck

To All - Have a GREAT day

    I'm curious too - more, or less fiber?

    If laughter is the best medicine, you cured me of anything and everything after reading your second paragraph.

    Thank you.

    Glad I could bring a chuckle

    My only other issue during that week was when I was out feeding our chickens, I got that “signal” from my gut that says “here it comes”

    We have cameras around our house. You can see me entering the garage door while holding the back of my britches with my left hand 😳

    Each Step that I took after that was accompanied by a release. So, by the time I’d reached the stairs into the house it was all over 🤣

    I’ve showed it to a couple of my friends. It’s actually pretty funny to watch
