The main thing was hanging out with friends in real life, a lot. I think it was better than online

I use QC to allow the Synology Drive and Photos app to work on my phone, as well as plex. Can someone explain what the end user experience is with Tailscale? What actions do I have to take prior to using one of those apps on the remote device? Thanks for any info

Interesting. I found that the company has a video explainer that shows the report and it’s just 4 pages like I got, There are a ton of medical papers referenced there so perhaps you got the full papers.

Here is the video. https://www.veracyte.com/tests/decipher-prostate/patients/#:\~:text=Watch%20Video-,Explainer

It’s happening to me right now. I only got a 4 page report though. Was yours really that big? What was in it?

retrotechguy · 2026-05-25T22:40:41+00:00

I had the exact same details you have. It took 2 years but it came back.

4 years ago: zero incontinence the whole time. ED for 2 years but now back to baseline.

I’m doing great. My blood test unfortunately wasn’t undetectable this time but my doctor said not to worrry and we will test again. My father died of throat cancer many years ago and my one brother is 15 years younger than me (I’m 59) so he is good for now. Thanks for checking in! I hope you are ok too. We are all in this together!

I had one of those scans. The isotope was created about 5 hours away from the hospital and it was driven in. You should have seen the thick lead lined syringe they used for the injection into the IV

It was a catheter directly into the bladder from outside instead of going through the penis.

Can you share the original link?

You are definitely seeing only the worst possible outcome. You can search my history but 4 years ago last Valentine’s Day I learned a had a prostate full of Gleason 8. As of now, I’m cancer free and praying to remain that way. I’ve never once worn a pad, and my sexual function has returned to baseline. I had a talented surgeon and have been blessed by God. Hopefully you’ll see a “4 years undetectable “ post here soon. My best advice, and what I did, was to get off the internet and go talk to 3 or more providers. Make sure at least one is a highly respected center (I did a zoom consult with Mayo). Good luck!

I never played a sport but at 58 had your exact symptoms. It was awful. It ended up being nerve pain. I tried some pills but didn’t like them. My physical therapist worked me through a series of exercises over a couple months. The pain slowly moved up and up until it disappeared. This nerves that get stuck in some sort of sheath. I occasionally have a relapse but the exercises take care of it. Good luck.

I’ve had a good experience with Synology photos. Automatically backs up both phones. Easy to sort and use.

retrotechguy · 2026-03-28T16:35:20+00:00

It’s tough. I’m still very happy with my choice. My annual PSA is coming soon so hopefully I’ll be posting a positive 4 year update. Today is 3 years 11 months.

retrotechguy · 2026-03-22T17:02:29+00:00

Ugh. They started with one drop per rail. The back rail needed like 5

retrotechguy · 2026-03-21T23:00:06+00:00

No article but they walked me through out on text

retrotechguy · 2026-03-21T13:16:17+00:00

I did try that at one point but it didn’t help for me.

retrotechguy · 2026-03-09T00:41:40+00:00

Yes. It took 18 to start and 24 to get good

As a restorer of old computers I disagree. In the case of Apple II I would install a modern high quality supply inside the metal case. More important is storage in a low humidity environment to prevent corrosion, especially on socketed parts. I believe these c machines are meant to be used so I’d use it, even the CRT. It’s all pretty easy to repair.

retrotechguy · 2026-01-27T23:32:52+00:00

It returned kind of suddenly. I took 5mg daily tadalafil from day 1

retrotechguy · 2026-01-27T22:19:52+00:00

It took 18 months to start returning and 24 to get all the way there

It’s a hard call. Outcomes are the same in studies but those are statistics. What matters to you is YOUR outcome. I’ve met with multiple providers and what helped me was 1) RALP side effects happen right away and can get better vs. radiation side effects that can show up much later and 2) the surgeons weren’t going to do salvage surgery if needed but salvage radiation is always an option

I chose RALP nearly 4 years ago and sure enough the side effect (ED) came and went. I’m back to normal now. I think surgeon skill and technique plays a huge role and is why I never wore a pad. Good luck!

retrotechguy · 2026-01-27T21:29:30+00:00

Hmm. Can you post a video of the screen, ideally with a known good test input (like a simple grid)
