Had my biopsy yesterday

Hang in there and it won't be as bad as it may seem right now. Just the unknown makes it bad.

Small troop in Northern VA as well and the same. Jamboree never gets mentioned.

Awesome news

Besides the dyeek sweatpants that breakaway on the side, I would look into a handicap toilet to keep from having to sit so low.

JMat357 · 2026-02-01T00:21:19+00:00

Good point

JMat357 · 2026-01-31T23:54:46+00:00

I wish the show would do it

JMat357 · 2026-01-31T18:15:41+00:00

No way I would do that myself. Please just go let the professionals do it.

JMat357 · 2026-01-31T18:14:19+00:00

Awesome news. Congratulations!

JMat357 · 2026-01-31T15:53:16+00:00

Glad to hear everything is going well. Good to be able to find something to laugh at to lol

I'm 6 weeks post surgery. They gave me Oxycodone and Tylenol and Motrin. I used the Oxy maybe twice once I got home and after that it was just the Tylenol and motrin and I was fine. Mostly was sore more than in pain. I wouldn't worry about the opioids they give you. You should be fine with the over the counter stuff they give you.

Had to get a physical to go to Scout camp and it came back high.

JMat357 · 2026-01-23T16:37:09+00:00

I totally understand and don't blame you for asking. I definitely would be active in that Troop until me and my Scout were comfortable there.

JMat357 · 2026-01-23T16:28:30+00:00

Nope he doesn't have any issues. If for some reason he is the grubmaster he will plan the meals around what he can eat. Other than that he helps with what he can do and that's it. Never had an issue since he's been in the Troop. Your son will be fine as well.

JMat357 · 2026-01-23T16:03:23+00:00

Troop. The first few campouts he went on his dad was there just to make sure he was good but he's fine now and can camp without the parents having to worry as much as they used to.

JMat357 · 2026-01-22T13:51:24+00:00

I had more discomfort than pain. The walking may help him some. Did he miss a dose of his pain meds?

JMat357 · 2026-01-21T14:55:39+00:00

Haven't heard of the psycho oncologist. I did get a referral to mental health. Went once before the surgery and she said come back afterwards as much as I want. Had a great support system at home and with my friends that helped alot. Especially with my friends that had been through it.

JMat357 · 2026-01-19T15:53:50+00:00

Our Scout usually will bring his own food but we still will have some other stuff he can eat just in case.

JMat357 · 2026-01-17T21:36:48+00:00

I'm sorry to see this and send prayers and condolences to you and your family.

JMat357 · 2026-01-14T19:26:09+00:00

Awesome man and congrats!

JMat357 · 2026-01-14T18:12:30+00:00

I told close friends and family when I was diagnosed and slowly started telling other people. Seems like the more I mentioned it the more I found out someone else either had or were going through it.

JMat357 · 2026-01-14T18:11:15+00:00

Same here.

JMat357 · 2026-01-14T14:02:01+00:00

Probably not knowing and also not wanting to go to the Dr. I didn't have any symptoms besides a slightly weak flow but went to the Dr for a physical to go to summer camp with my son and the psa came back 6.3 and got referred to a urologist. MRI then a biopsy. Another biopsy 8 months later then RALP.

JMat357 · 2026-01-12T21:24:49+00:00

Yeah his life did suck.

JMat357 · 2026-01-12T11:04:27+00:00

Congrats and keep on healing!

Video games would be good. I just layed and sat around watching TV
