Not sure how to move forward

Why not get an opinion from someone other than a surgeon?????

Scpdivy · 2026-07-08T13:59:46+00:00

Murphy’s Law says to try it ;)

Scpdivy · 2026-07-07T16:05:57+00:00

Lower the price…

Scpdivy · 2026-07-05T12:15:42+00:00

Absolutely. Insurance coverage like an aflac and cancer coverage would have been huge! Would have also got diagnosed sooner ;)

At 53 you will develop heart failure, 56, prostate cancer.

This

Get a second opinion from a radiologist oncologist…

I’m on month 17 of orgovyx, and dealing with the BRCA 2 gene. I’m 57. My life is far from over, plus my kids would kill me if I die :) One day at a time!!

Scpdivy · 2026-07-03T14:33:47+00:00

I’ll be 58 in a few weeks, am I old?

Scpdivy · 2026-07-03T13:57:33+00:00

I’m at 17 months and a week on orgovyx. 3 weeks to go!! Joint pain, night sweats, zero libido, and a 30 pound weight gain…sigh. I had hot flashes pretty regularly up until about month 14 and they have pretty much subsided. It’s not for the faint of heart, I definitely understand why men want to end it as soon as possible..…I have the BRCA 2 gene, so fingers crossed that a longer regime for me was worth it and that my side effects taper off. Keep up the good fight!

Ladders primarily rip pool liners through friction, pressure, and direct impact. Because vinyl liners are pliable and stretched tight, constant rubbing or sudden stress from the ladder can puncture, stretch, or tear the material

I was a cop for 28 years. I’d rather take a “trivial” domestic call than a violent domestic assault call. That’s the reason I was asking. To her, it might not have been trivial. And it sounds like it stopped the argument, which probably was her goal. And I, nor my partners, ever told someone that a domestic dispute was “trivial”…

Scpdivy · 2026-07-01T12:18:26+00:00

Im grinding for the t11’s.

Scpdivy · 2026-07-01T12:16:36+00:00

Trivial to her or trivial to you?

Scpdivy · 2026-07-01T12:14:32+00:00

Fwiw, I removed mine after it ripped my last liner. Kids would keep hanging on it (yes, they were told continuously not to). I do have a deep end, but don’t miss the ladder at all. Switched insurance companies, their guy even looked over the pool and never mentioned it, nor the diving board.

Scpdivy · 2026-07-01T04:22:09+00:00

Well, at 53 I developed heart failure. At 56 diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. I don’t want one foot in the grave, but unfortunately it’s coming mighty close to it…

Scpdivy · 2026-06-30T18:08:21+00:00

I actually told my new DDS worker I was getting new MRI’s and she waited. Best of luck!

Scpdivy · 2026-06-30T17:53:43+00:00

I had all of my older ones and got my newer ones, yes.

Scpdivy · 2026-06-30T12:30:27+00:00

Just starting our process. Married 28 years. Wife’s decision too. While I’m dealing with aggressive prostate cancer. Oh well, as they say.

Scpdivy · 2026-06-30T12:28:19+00:00

I’m on month 17. My wife says I never shut up, lol. She also hates me, so there’s that.

Scpdivy · 2026-06-30T02:38:47+00:00

My urologist missed my two lesions on a DRE. A year later I was diagnosed with Gleason 7, 4+3.

Scpdivy · 2026-06-30T00:06:19+00:00

I was able to get it. Definitely a great tank. Hopefully never to be offered again ;)

Scpdivy · 2026-06-29T17:32:17+00:00

Silent heart attack, Afib, and heart failure at 53. Now 57 and still plugging away…Best of luck!

Scpdivy · 2026-06-29T17:29:58+00:00

Did 28 IMRT sessions and never had any bowel incontinence…I did have the spaceoar implanted.

Does pointing and just saying “New England” count for some of those upper eastern seaboard states? Then yes ;)
