First post op appointment next week.
Back into Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC next week for my post op consultation. My prostatectomy was 6 weeks ago. A million questions to ask but I will probably go blank on the day if I don't write them down in advance! I guess I have all the routine questions around leakage, ED ( not happy with Sildenafil

Painful rigidity
My name is Kevin and I'm writing for my wife Katie. She was diagnosed in 2010. She is 58 and having extreme rigidity in her left arm. It is really painful for her. Does anyone have a recommendation for some relief? She is taking Sinemet, Ropinirole and just recently started trying medical marijuana.

post-prostatectomy incontinence and ED
I had a
radical
prostatectomy
in April 2016 performed by Dr. Jean Joseph at Univ. Of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital. I was very fortunate that this very skilled and expert surgeon was able to spare my nerves so I am not impotent but still have some degree of ED.

New to the group
In March 2014 I had
radical
prostatectomy
. The post operative PSA of .5 lead to IMRT radiation treatment between August and October of 2014. Post radiation PSA never got lower than .2. I have been following the progression of the PCa ever since.

Feeling better!!
I am just writing a little note for encouragement.I was helped by people on this board when I was first diagnosed 15 months ago with PA and Hashimotos and had a TSH of 118 ( yep 118). I know I am a very short way into my journey but I feel like I have come on leaps and bounds. I have a TSH of 0.46 and

Pacey Cuff for Male Urinary Incontinence
I want to let men know that there is a new device available to assist with the management of urinary incontinence, especially post prostatectomy UI. I am intrigued by this product's claim that blood flow remains normal while it is being used. This product was designed and developed by a vascular surgeon

Going to the gym
I’ve put on some weight since my prostatectomy, and it’s time to head to the gym. Since I leak even under routine activity, I’m concerned using the equipment will cause more leakage. The last thing I want is to pee on the equipment. I need “undergarments” but how do I use the locker room and change into

17 years of various treatments
Hi Y'all, Regarding my husband, I have dragged him through 17 years of various treatments--all failed. However, he is still alive and kicking after all these years and we are grateful for that. He has lived a mostly normal, unaffected life through it all. He had a laparoscopic prostatectomy done

Starting to panic
Well I had another bone scan (prior scan negative) due to some lower back pain and it came back positive for metastasis in the left proximal femur. I have not started any treatment yet since my prostatectomy Dec.6. I meet with the Radiation oncologist March 1st and then with my Urologist for the treatment

Medical Cannabis, a future hope
It seems to me most companies do not really offer descent CBD Products for sufferers of different health issues, CBD and THC products and I would like to share my experience and learn from people who may have some useful knowledge in this respect.

Back in 1995, Partin at Johns Hopkins reported [5] that FAS "predicted pathologic stage well when analyzing primary prostate cancer in
radical

specimens" & "is one of the few markers that provides additional predictive information beyond that of the Gleason score". [6] (2017 - Russia)

ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (Statins again)
"Although limited by sample size, our data showed a trend that statins may mildly enhance the anti-tumor effects of Ab {abiraterone}i in CRPC patients. These results support the findings of Di Lorenzo et al. (2017), and suggest that depletion of de novo cholesterol production may further limit androgen

This is very much of interest to me. PCa tumors run into trouble when they outgrow their blood supplies. Unfortunately, the cells respond to a shortage of oxygen (hypoxia) in such a way that current treatments become largely ineffective. The internet is full of bogus info. about cancer "hating oxygen

My prostatectomy happened back in November 2011, which indicated an 'out of the box' (extra-capsular extensions) Gleason Scale 9 condition. The following summer, I had follow-up external beam radiation, but rising PSA levels still indicated circulating cancer cells (no shown metastasis). In Summer,

Medical Reefer!
Do any of us use Medical Marijuana on a regular basis? What are the benefits that you see? The reason I ask. I see my Neurologist tomorrow and he has brought the possibility of using it to my attention. He will set me up with a medical card and off I go. I just wanted to get some real feedback from

First visit in a long time.
I was diagnosed with pc in 2010. Prostatectomy at Sloan and no PSA since. My brother has not been so fortunate. Diagnosed in 2014, prostatectomy, radiation and Lupron. His PSA just went from 3 to 81 in 3 months. Cancer nodules detected in his lungs and abdomen. His oncologist at Sloan is putting him
