PSA TEST - page #1

Could you tell something was wrong or changing with sex or peeing?

By [deleted member] at 31,Jul,09 15:04 Hide

No. BHP cause your peeing problems not cancer. Two different things all together. BHP is swelling tissue inside the prostate that applies pressure on your unrinary track. The cancer cells attack the prostate by the inner walls then expand outward.

Wow...sorry about your being stricken with this dreaded cancer. There are many forms of treatment available nowadays that are less invasive and less traumatic. Of course, catching it in its early stages improves the prognosis (as your reminder exemplifies).

Just remember, your penis may make you a male, but it does not make you the man/person that you are or dictate if you will be a good or bad lover. It is only one component to what makes you...you.

Please let us know how it goes and hope to continue "seeing" you here in the future.

Best wishes to you on this and to your continued good health.

Thank you for telling me...i will pass it on.Regards and best wishes.

My robotic surgery is set for september to have the prostate removed.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis..... my dad recently was also diagnosed with prostate cancer and had the robotic surgery to remove his prostate. He is in his mid 60's. Post-op complications are drastically decreased with this particular procedure. He is doing well now with only having some incontinence only if he laughs. He also has some minor impotance but it is drastically improving. He also gets his blood drawn once every three to four months. He currently has a PSA level of ZERO which is the desired result. Wishing you luck. Keep your spirits up! You are not alone! Keep us updated!

Thanks. I'll update this discussion forum. Prostate cancer is a slow grower, but once it leaves the prostate it can go to your bones, liver or brain. Early diagnosises is the best cure.

By Olddude at 02,Aug,09 17:20 Hide

I've read a great deal on the subject, and I work in a hospital. Robitic surgery is best way to go. I have seen a DeVincy Robot, quite impressive. I have BPH and keep a close watch on PSA. Best of luck! Please post results!

Thanks for sharing! My father died of prostate cancer years ago.....Needless to say, I get tested yearly!! Best wishes for a quick and full recovery!

By [deleted member] at 03,Aug,09 15:03 Hide

Thanks. Usually when it's caught it's to late. I'm was caught early. Because I had no symptoms and the doctor wanted to do a biospy to create a baseline to watch from. The biospy came up positve.

By foreskins4ever at 03,Aug,09 18:53 Hide

My father said it was normal to have to pee every hour.....kept insisting there was nothing wrong till it was too late. Glad yours was caught early!

By sailor at 05,Aug,09 16:42 Hide

I agree, have it tested. I'm having surgery in Sept. Seems like if you live long enough 1 in 2 men will have prostate cancer.

By unkut at 07,Aug,09 15:39 Hide

Sailor, what option did you take for your surgery? I'm going with robotic surgery

By unkut at 21,Sep,09 12:13 Hide

Prostate Cancer update: Had my robotic surgery on the 16th of sept. 2009. The operation took about 2 hours and was home by 2:00 p.m. in thursday Sept 17th.
I was up and walking ever since. The cancer was still contained in my prostate so on other organs were touched and was able to save some of my inner bladder muscles. I well have my staples and catheter removed this fridaty Sept 25th and on to recovery.

Keep us posted about your progress.

By Masturstroke at 22,Sep,09 12:12 Hide

Best wishes, guy.

I've seen videos on the da Vinci robot, and as a tech freak, it impresses me no end. Science marches on.

By smittdog at 24,Sep,09 08:49 Hide

best of luck! Cancer survivor here as you are now

By sailor at 22,Sep,09 09:31 Hide

Thaks for the update. And here's to your continued health, no more cancer, bladder control, and hopefully a good hardon once in awile,

By unkut at 22,Sep,09 11:32 Hide

Even with the catheter on I do get some sensations there.

By unkut at 23,Sep,09 10:55 Hide

woke this morning with a little morning wood. Hopefully a good sign. Can't wait for the catheter to come out on friday.

By fdgr at 23,Sep,09 21:07 Hide

Keep up the progress & keep us all informed.

By mb40 at 25,Sep,09 09:58 Hide

best of luck to you, unkut.

By topspy at 23,Sep,09 19:09 Hide

Yay!

Continued good health to all...

By unkut at 24,Sep,09 08:45 Hide

Woke up today with a little more morning wood than yesterday. Haven't taken any pain pills since monday night. One 8 hr tylenol twice a day for five days kept the pain in check. Tomorrow starts a new experience without the catheter.

By foreskins4ever at 24,Sep,09 08:49 Hide

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Sounds like things went well. You are in our thoughts and prayers!

By mb40 at 25,Sep,09 09:57 Hide

Just got a PSA with my physical and it was fine.

By unkut at 25,Sep,09 12:30 Hide

Today the staples came out and the catheter removed. Before the catheter was removed i had three syringes of water shot up the catheter tube. When i felt like i had to go, i pissed into a cup, during this time i had to stop and hold the water for 5 seconds and then release. This was repeated three times before total discharge of the water. Now everytime I have to go, I have to repeat this hold and release. Had no problems stopping the flow and starting it back up again. All this was done in front of the nurse. She held a cloth in front of me but kept peeking over, don't know why she was even holding the cloth in front of me. I had no hang ups with her watching.

By topspy at 26,Sep,09 01:48 Hide

should've asked for some "help"....hahahaha....

Glad it is going well.

By unkut at 26,Sep,09 09:13 Hide

Now i'm waiting for a new PSA Test to come back early next week. Looking for a zero result. Then visit every six months for the next 4 years.

By Olddude at 26,Sep,09 13:48 Hide

I am glad you are doing so well!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best wish's, and speedy recovery!

By unkut at 28,Sep,09 08:21 Hide

Twelve days after surgery and the one eyed monster is coming back to life. On 50 mg of viagra to get the blood flowing again and I posted the results today.

By topspy at 30,Sep,09 04:37 Hide

Good for you!! Keep it up!!

By Masturstroke at 30,Sep,09 07:10 Hide

Long life to you, good sir!

By unkut at 30,Sep,09 09:39 Hide

With each day i'm finding more life in the old boy. Even though I can't have sex for the next three and a half weeks. I can get the blood flowing for a semi-hardon.

By Dinky7x7 at 30,Sep,09 17:18 Hide

Three years ago I had the same diagnosis and I elected to have a total removal of the prostate. Today, I am cancer free and I have a wonderful sex life. The only negative is that I can no longer cum, I can climax just like before, just nothing to clean up, not all bad. Good luck.

By Masturstroke at 30,Sep,09 20:16 Hide

The prostate generates the majority of the fluid for cum, so its removal pretty much terminates ejaculation. However, it's a small price indeed for being rid of a really nasty cancer.

By unkut at 01,Oct,09 10:17 Hide

Surgery now fifteen days ago and I was able to post a full erection today.

Hi i am happy it turned out back to normal again for you, keep us posted

By Herb at 13,Oct,09 00:40 Hide

Had prostrate cancer 6 years ago. Found it early PSA was only 8. I had onco-seeds,94 small radioactive pelets injected. No problems what-soever. I get checked every year now. All you guys should get checked yearly. Removal isn't necessary if you get it early. I had no symptoms at all.

By unkut at 14,Oct,09 15:40 Hide

That was one of my choices also, but I elected the robotic surgery.

By unkut at 14,Oct,09 15:39 Hide

My PSA was tested on the 25 of September and was notified today by mail that it came back at 0.92. Results were where the Dr. wanted it to be.

By unkut at 02,Nov,09 09:55 Hide

Muscle control and erections coming back. With the help of viagra they last longer than without, but can get it on with or without the viagra.

By Masturstroke at 02,Nov,09 12:11 Hide

Kudos, good sir! Your story is an inspiration.

By unkut at 13,Nov,09 10:16 Hide

I'm finding dry orgasms are highly intense. Has anyone else felt the same??

By Masturstroke at 15,Nov,09 13:25 Hide

Mine are close to dry after the TURP, but they're powerful, especially after edging for a few hours.
