TERRIBLE UTI FEELING FOR A MONTH POST SURGERY.
Hello ladies. I am having the worst time with intense bladder pain post diagnostic lap. UTI come back negative for infection so it appears its not bacterial. Anyone else had this experience and able to offer advice? It's crippling and much worse than the pain I had pre surgery. I can't bear more weeks

A List of Screening Tests For A High PSA
A 73 year old friend had a PSA test that came back @ 50 . He is not afraid, is cool and analytical. He can afford to have any out of pocket testing and treatment . He wants to understand the status of his prostate cancer before having any treatment. He is asking if there is a list of screening tests

Pain from Chemo attacking cancer? THANK YOU
Hi everyone Thanks for the responses to my post re the above. Happily the pain started to subside but I made an appointment for a checkup with my GP and he could finding nothing to worry about after having a good prod around and asking questions, and agrees it was probably the Chemo doing its job.

CT Results are In
Looking for your wisdom, good people. What does “Spleen: Small splenule” mean? I read about the need for a sulfur colloid scan to determine if it’s cancer. Nothing else to note on the CT scan. PSA is 5.12, up from 4.32 on 4/8, up from 1.6 on 12/10. Bone scan shows no evidence of metastasis. Thank You

Gallbladder Op and AF
Hi All I had my gallbladder removed in hospital yesterday and couldn't have been looked after better. The staff were all amazingly kind and caring, someone must have come to see me about every 15 minutes and I had umpteen cups of tea. It was only arranged last week and I had the appointment because someone

Growth inhibitory effect of doxazosin on prostate and bladder cancer cells. Is the serotonin receptor pathway involved?
Doxazosin
, an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist, is used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hypertension. Alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists also inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in malignant prostatic cells. The apoptotic activity is independent of their capacity to antagonize

Need for Cystoscopy?
Quick recap of my situation: RP in Sep 2019 for G9 w/SVI, LN+, and high risk Decipher. RT 8 months later along with 24 mth ADT (just finished). About 2 months ago, I noticed a drop of blood coming from my uretha at the tip of my penis. My urologist ordered a CAT scan (which was clean) and cystoscopy

Can Mirena work if desogestrel doesn’t?
Hi, I’m new to this group and hoping for any advice please. I’ve been diagnosed with Adenomyosis (by ultrasound) but not Endometriosis as they say I won’t have a diagnosis without laparoscopy. I’ve been on Desogestrel for over two years which has definitely helped with the pain but the bleeding is still

Prostate cancer is currently one of the most common fatal tumor types in men. Although multiple treatments can alleviate some cases, advanced prostate cancer, especially CRPC, still has a very poor prognosis. Therefore, early detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer have a very important role in the

overactive bladder
Has anyone found anything that really helps with OAB? I've tried Oxibutimin and solifenacin, solifenacin helps a bit in the day but I'm up to the loo about 6 or 7 times (sometimes more!!) in the night and I'm quite exhausted. I would love to hear of something that really works ....desperate and at

Suggestions for keeping urine collection bag from slipping down leg
My 78-yo husband has to return to using Foley external catheter & bag, likely permanently, and is asking those with experience for suggestions to keep the leg bag from slipping. His previous experience has been unsuccessful with the slippage so bad that he carries the leg bag around in a bag or bucket

PSA blip
Hi Everyone, It’s been awhile and DC has been doing great and his PSA has been coming down nicely. He’s on Lupron-3, Zytiga & Prednisone. He got his blood results back yesterday and his PSA blipped a bit by 0.5 ; from 5.6 to 6.1. Is that a normal occurrence this early in his journey? He was dx back in

So here’s something I wasn’t quite expecting…
So a week ago yesterday I had my second ablation, the one in October last year (cryo) missed some bits because of the shape of the chamber. This time 3D mapping, RF and GA as opposed to happy juice. Just as well I was under three hours apparently. So all very positive and home late afternoon. Now I hadn

Ca125
My ca125 has risen quite a bit in the last two months. Went from 21 to 42 and now it is at 58 the last check. Getting ct scan Monday. Last one in January was clear. Dr said he relies more on the scan cause the ca125 can fluctuate for different reasons, such as an infection. My scan was clear, but showed
