to 'the wife'

the.wife.....It is my
the.wife.....It is my understanding the purpose of this forum is to lend support. I do not know why you keep making critical comments about Randy. He is a real person, He has posted his picture (which you have not) he readily gives his stat's pre and post surgery, some members have met with him in person. I've exchanged emails with him and plan to meet him in the future next time I am up in Indiana.

I've not seen anyone directly 'attack' your husband as you do Randy. In fact several on the forum have expressed that they hope no matter what his treatment is that he will have success.

I do not believe that Randy is selling surgery. He is only stating as thousands others have...their experience. Lets please respect others as we have tried to respect you on your husband turning this time of critical illness that you face.

Could Not Have Said It Better
Larry,

I have stayed out of this one just because as you stated we are here to support one another. I could not agree with you more in your comments above. We are all here to help one another and to offer/share our experiences. We all know there are many different treatment options out there and the choices we make are personal depending upon our situations. Like both you and Randy, I opted for surgery. Like both of you I am not "selling" surgery as "the wife" would believe Randy is doing. I thank god every day that I found this forum and found folks like you, Randy, Sonny, Marc, Nick, I could go on forever.

My only message to "the wife" is that I wish your husband well and I would hope that you would take our statements, thoughts, prayers, in the way they are intended (as a means of support. We have all made our choices for treatment and now must live with the results/side effects of those treatments. All we can do is try to help one another through whatever rough spots we may encounter along the way. Please tell your husband that we are there for him if he ever needs to talk to anyone.

God Bless,

Joe

After reading your comments, I will be praying especially hard for you and your husband. I will not comment further. Best wishes.

Ah Yes.....DITTO Maria!!!
is obviously the correct response here!

To all: Life is short....work hard....pray hard....help others....and have as much fun as you can all along the way as you really only get to do this trip one time...at least that's what I believe.

To the wife: Looking forward to the report after your husbands treatment...

If you really want my last name that is not a problem...just send me an email with yours and a picture to:

love love love....
We should embrace all talk on the site...there is NO perfect treatment for everyone. I am now 55, one year post surgery.. Do I regret my decision...sometimes...the incontinence is minimal but ever present.... ED was never a problem at first, now I suffer the "Bent Penis" I assume from scar tissue... since both nerve bundles were spared... but I am alive...my PSA is still less than 0.01, I get to watch the grandkids grow up...I still go to Hawaii several times per year to dive, etc...I get to spend all my remaining days with my wife... I look back on what was...regrets, sure....do it again...absolutely

Hey Jim
Didn't know you are a diver too. Can I get your email address so I can ask about some dive destinations out your way?

Thanks,
George
