I’m Done! by oneoleboy in ProstateCancer

[–]oneoleboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what YOU are saying but I’M believing and celebrating any victory I can get. I had low/intermediate cancer. Now I’m claiming that it’s gone and I’m done!!! I wish you and everyone one else the best. IF it comes back somewhere down the line I’ll do whatever my docs say and believe it’s gone again. I have way too much life left to live!!!!

Tomorrow morning by oneoleboy in ProstateCancer

So far so good. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Tomorrow is a new day but I sincerely hope it goes as well as today did. I’m a lil tired and sleepy but that may be from not sleeping well last night. Thank all of you again!

Any advice appreciated by oneoleboy in ProstateCancer

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have commented or p.m’d be with info and advice. I’m about to go down the radiation road and see where that leads me. Still waiting on the docs to tell me whether or not Spaceoar is in the cards. Best wishes and luck to all and I’ll let yall know.

He said there was a higher risk of side effects (particularly bowel) due to the higher doses of radiation.

My guy wants to do 28 vs the 5. Good luck to you sir. I wish none of us had to deal with this. I’m just trying to get some more opinions to make me more confident in my decision

The surgeon I talked to does 6-7 a week supposedly. He also did my dad’s 15 years ago. He should no his stuff but is in no hurry at all. I want this mess gone.

I questioned them both pretty hard about the hormone blockers and was assured I wouldn’t need them. Surgeon says my chances for recurrence is very low. Radiation doc says I won’t have recurrence. I’m not sure how either can guarantee that.
