1. If we had a study for you, you would be the only one in it. (rare variant guy)
2. You need to bulk up, I would rather see you not take your cancer meds for a week than a week without bulking up.
3. Come back and see us, yall hear (just kidding on that one)
4. To my wife and me from my favorite APN, " I am afraid to tell Tuff Nut anything as he will do it twice as much." I've got the world walking record on the 1/3 mile corridor mowing down doctors and big people three abreast taking up the entire lane. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! GET OUT OF MY WAY, Help!, proctologist down! surprised I haven't got a ticket!
5. First visit to another hospital oncologist after getting CT results, the CT shows that you could have infected lymph nodes, and or suspected lymphoma. It could be something else and we will have to wait for the biopsy. (Why did you get our hopes up with infected lymph nodes)
6. Same day urologist number one gives a digital rectal, and says"You don't have cancer"
7. Upon my second urologist going far back in my history, and reviewing the CT scans to get to know me he starts explaining them for the first time. I say can I take a picture, he says "u cant take a movie." Upon seeing the lymph node cancer filling up my whole abdomen and buttock, and where he suspected it broke through, I thought to myself, "sure looks like I am goner". At the time it had been five months since diagnosis and I was much stronger. So I see my cardiologist that afternoon, and tell her what happened and my thoughts, and I just burst out laughing. I had such love and appreciation for her as she encouraged me to get to the best hospital in my city ASAP, still it took a month. She told me that she couldn't tell me though she had seen my CT and realized how serious it was.
8. You are doing great!( serious , and I love to exceed expectations with my oncologist team) I'm doing my best with what God has given me to work with!"
9. Does 30 minutes of lawn mowing substitute for 30 minutes of cardio at 70% heart rate to meet my exercise requirement? "Ok I see what your saying, just asking!"
10. My aim is off, dang another pair of underwear, and gotta wipe my foot.
11. A quote from our Lord to rely on "Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord and he will sustain you" the best of all quotes
12. No doubt I would not be here today sharing my thoughts, if it had not been for the mercy of the Lord and prayers of our friends, and yes like voting, its ok to pray for yourself. Praise the Lord!
11. God bless all of you thank you so much for your replies and the information I gain from your posts.

Carlos the stint put in by the first urologist goes bad I’m bleeding pools of blood I keep emailing my Drs and at times in a lot of pain. So finally I am able to set a procedure date with my new urologist. Well man my new urologist is the fastest man in the west, no anesthesia at all, he had that thing out in less than two minutes. And my first pee fie minutes later went from pools of blood to clear liquid. A couple years before another urologist up state took a half hour to yank one out as the stint string came out. Honestly his device had some extractor hooks the whole setup looked like a Home Depot drain snake and he would go to the right go to the left go to the top go to the bottom. Not a pleasant procedure.
After I passed bladder stones, spraying blood and urine all over the bathroom in the middle of the night, my first urologist prescribed FlowMax and promised to have me knocking the porcelain off the urinals in a couple weeks
Oh goody, this thread lights up my day, once again I can trash the Onc I fired in 2013 who said firmly, wagging his finger at me . . . . "You'll be in my infusion room for the rest of your life, maybe 3 years, maybe not" . . . . . after I asked him for a referral to Mayo for a C-11 scan. I went on my own, found a new Onc, and have adopted a scan and treat mets for 10 years with great success.
Other guys in my support group said he's an f'in a-hole.
AWB sorry you had that experience, my gut was to change urologist before this happened, but there is some trouble to find someone else, and I didn’t think anything would happen with a PSA of 2. The problem was there was a black box warning on a little blue pill the urologist recommends that a small group of men would develop extremely aggressive deadly APC, FDA recommended it because it was found to possibly prevent cancer in most men. Ok I was supposed to have a folllowup appointment at 3 months. They didn’t call and I was fortunate to get a referral to a world class urologist who removed the bleeding stint that was supposed to last nine months. Well the first urologist office called after six months to remind me of my six month followup the next day. I said ma’am please tell the urologist I want be able to make it as I have MPC. There was a big pause and she said she said she was sorry to hear about it. I hated to do that to the lady but it was the truth.
Hello again Mr. TNC, or should I say Mr. Lead, the man with the shield for protection.
I hate to do this to you (or to any other Member). In the communication world we never say "over and out", It is over or it is out......Over and out would mean "over, I give permission to the other guy to speak and I hang up on him. Out merely means I am hanging up the other guy. (Hollywood keeps making the same mistake).
Also you keep saying the word Stint, when I think you mean Stent....
Meds badly affected the hippocampus of the sixth grade spelling bee champion. Don’t be petty. Someone might take up for me and be jumping on your spelling and doing sentence diagramming and stuff!😆
Watching a crime show and the detective is looking over the pool is suspects in a sexual misconduct case. Trent says "this guy could not be the culprit he is on court ordered Lupron".
LOL. Is that word 2nd sentence Scottish, I watch Still Game about those crotchety old pensioners and that seems to be one of their favorite words? Ill give you this, my German colleague corrupted me as we were designing and building this huge mega chip factory, $ 2 billion in fact. Of course at any time something is going wrong during design build construction schedule conflicts etc. and you have to make adjustments for it. but my Germans colleague's phrase was Wann die Scheiße schlact die Ventilator! and other stuff that I WILL NOT REPEAT! Such is life. I hear you on the Lupron. you could get a different pronoun on this, have you noticed any changes in speech, physical changes, etc? I suggest you see a doctor.
Changes, You asked for Changes from Lupron? Besides the Brain Fog, Fatique, Muscle loss, Shinkage? My wife wasn't thrown off by the lack of physical intimacy but I'm not happy.
Not being able to find the Acron is beyond fustrating.
Also forgetfulness I forgot to spell check the last post😜
I feel your pain brother. Everything you said is reality. I enjoyed your pun before though I almost forgot it! The forgetfulness is totally forgetful! As far as spell check to hard to search for apostrophes and capital letters
