    Very good,
    I wish him a speedy recovery with long life and good health.

    Congratulations on the initial results
    Success will follow. Surely he will need time for recovery, Please let us know on the continuous results.

    When can we raise the glass?

    His surgical pathology
    His surgical pathology report shown that the tumor occupies approximately 35% of gland.Gleason 3+4=7,PSA3.1,the prostate meas.5x5x4cm

    The inked bladder neck/radial resection margins and seminal vesicles are all negative for adenocarcinoma,

    There is no extraprostatic extension.
    Extensive high grade PIN is present

    Right/Left lymph node,excision: Benign nodal tissue,negative for metastatic malignancy.

    He is lucky to have the RP,because the tumor is present at the inked apical resection margin for a distance of approximately 1mm., Thanks God!

    First PSA test after surgery
    Thanks to every friends in this forum,
    I like to report his first PSA test after surgery was 0.00x,something less 0.01,which is undetectable.

    He is still ED and incontinent,but under good recovery,he need 1 pad daily for drips.

    PSA test half year after surgery
    I like to update his PSA test half year after surgery was <0.01,which is undetectable.

    He is still ED(4 o'clock wise) but continent. His doctor believe he could get good recovery within 1-2year,because his nerve sparing was successful in both side.

    Pump regimens
    STC

    Thanks for the good news. Zeros in PSA are numbers to celebrate.
    Hopefully in your next post we will read about his return to a more normalcy way of life. Tell him to be active in the ED problem to avoid atrophy and to shorten the time to recovery. Pump regimens may help in improving things. Never give up.

    Congratulations.

    Shall we get drunk?


    I don’t care, let’s celebrate.
    Another Zero and happy moments to share.
    Tell him to consider counselling on the ED, now at the 1 year mark since RP. Improvements can be expected but we never return fully to the same levels as before surgery. In time we learn how to manage things.

    Congratulations on the Zeros.

    CIALIS

    I'M GLAD YOUR FRIEND IS DOING SO WELL. AT AGE 54 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PC. 5.4 PSA WHICH DOUBLED FROM 2.7 LESS THAN 4 MONTHS BEFORE. BIOPSY RESULTS - APPROX. 5 %. GLEASON 4 & 3 = 7. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS ED. I DISCUSSED WITH MY DRS AND WAS REFERRED TO A UROLOGIST WHO WAS PROACTIVE IN TREATING PC PATIENTS TO PREVENT ED. PRIOR TO EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION TREATMENTS - 41 TOTAL - HE HAD ME START TAKING CIALIS - APPROX 10 - 15 MG PER WEEK. HE SAID BY KEEPING THE NERVES STIMULATED THAT IT WOULD MINIMIZE NERVE DAMAGE AND ED. DURING THE TREATMENT PERIOD, WE CONTINUED TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE - THE RADIATION MADE IT PAINFUL TO EJACULATE ( WEIRD - INCREDIBLE PLEASURE FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A VERY STRONG BURNING SENSATION THROUGH OUT ENTIRE URINARY TRACT ). WE KEPT THE 'PUMP PRIMED' . ULTIMATELY THE BURNING DURING SEX WENT AWAY. 5.5 YEARS LATER, STILL NO ED - I STILL USE CIALIS 5 - 10 MG A WEEK JUST CUZ I LIKE FEELING 13 AGAIN- A MIRACLE DRUG  ( THEY AREN'T LYING ABOUT THE POSSIBILTY OF A 4 HOUR ERECTION ). CIALIS CERTAINLY MADE THE ENTIRE PC MUCH, MUCH BETTER. HAS YOUR FRIEND TRIED CIALIS ?

     

    TO ALL - I'M VERY MUCH ENJOYING BEING PART OF THE CSN - JUST JOINED. GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE. AS MEN, IT'S INTERESTING HOW WE APPROACH PC - A PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED AND SOLVED RATIONALLY, NOT EMOTIONALLY - PC IS DIFFERENT - NO SUSAN G KOMEN 3 DAY WALK KISSES AND SUPPORT

     

    LIKE WE ALL DID, I CONSULTED A NUMBER OF DRS AND CHECKED OUT ALL THE TREATMENT OPTIONS. I FINALLY CHOOSE MY DR NOT SO MUCH ON THE BASIS OF HIS CONSIDERABLE EXPERTISE IN CANCER ( HE WAS CHIEF OF ONC. AT A MAJOR HOSPITAL ), BUT RATHER BECAUSE DURING THE PROSTATE EXAM HE TOLD ME A JOKE. I THOUGHT, HAY, THIS IS A GUY YOU CAN DEAL WITH. WE DON'T KNOW THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME, BUT HIS ATTITUDE CERTAINLY MADE THE PROCESS A LOT MORE BEARABLE. EVERY MORNING THE 'CHIEF' WAS MAKING HIS ROUNDS WHEN I WOULD SHOW UP FOR MY RADIATION. WE WOULD JOKE AND THAT SOMEHOW MADE IT A LOT BETTER. SOMETIMES IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS............

    Good news

    STC

    Congratulations on the continuous Zeros results.

    I hope your friend gets better in the ED issue. May I suggest him to stop taking the pill during a period to allow the body to recuperate naturally? He may return to V at any time or may try other means of success more natural. Certain diets got the “spices”.

    I celebrate the good news from this little corner of the Europe.
