63-year old Male, months shy of 5-year mark of the radical prostatectomy, showed PSA of .08 in January then .07 in March. Originally had up to Gleason 9’s.

So yesterday morning when I woke up and my bladder was full I was feeling very sore round my pelvic region so went for a pee then after I went everything just

I'm day 5 post first lap and still feel really spaced out and dizzy after GA. Pain is getting better I'm off the strong meds but was on morphine for a couple of days. Moving around better but after a couple of hours out of bed I'm straight back wiped out. Is this normal? I did have a lot done in terms

I'm a 29 year old female who has been suffering with issues with my bladder for around 5 years. I've not had any children and never been pregnant. 5 years ago I started getting re- occuring UTI's quite regularly and was referred to a urologist. I, then, started to get bladder incontinence- I was sent

I'm at the end of my tether. I'm 74 and have had UTIs since 16 - usually 1-2 a year, easily treated.

I'm seeking advice on having a second AUS surgery. My background: I had a prostatectomy in 2016 and radiation a year later because the cancerous tumor had penetrated the sack.

I just finished my second round of immunotherapy, which is Opdiva and Yervoy . After one month my CA, 125 dropped from 133 to 53. I’m truly astounded and hope it keeps working on my clear cell tumor. If you’re OVCA is clear cell, you should inquire to your oncologist about this.
