Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

spasms and twitches
I often get arm and leg spasms, but a few months ago, I had the strangest of "attacks". I can only describe it as "electric spasms"...everything twitches, I was not able to control my walking, my arm movements were uncontrollable and when I tried to talk, what came out were long stutters. I am not

Is this decision right for me
I had a PSMA pet scan on 7/16/2024. The result shows a single tumor in my left lung measuring 8mm. My MO wants me to have the tumor radiated and monitor the PSA and its doubling time. A little background, I'm just short of 83 years old. I had prostatectomy in 2009, PSA undetectable until 2017. I had

Advice/Help
Hi all, I'm just looking for some advice please? I'm due to go in for a Laparoscopy next week, I've had heart surgery in the past but, I'm really nervous about this surgery due to complications in the previous surgeries. So I'm just trying to calm my nerves by being as prepared as much as possible.

Open heart surgery for ASD CLOSE
To everyone who has given me advice, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the guidance and support youāve offered since my open-heart surgery in April 2014 for ASD closure. Your insights and encouragement mean a lot to me, especially as I navigate the challenges I've faced

no cure
Iām pleased to see the post telling everyone about āhow their endometriosis was curedā has been taken down. There is NO CURE! Even if you have all diseased tissue removed you still have the disease. Some are lucky and donāt get a reoccurrence of the diseased tissue but for most the disease comes back

One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems?
One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems? If you have had surgery, Salvage Radiation, ADT, SRBT and then stopped ADT with a continuing rise in you PSA when did you start to have pain or physical problems?
