Comment on Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment — Good Medicine or Business as Usual? by Steve Ward

Excellent and thought-out post, thank you!

While everyone else is commenting on the medical aspect of treating Prostate Cancer, I’d like to note the importance of being mentally sound while enduring treatment. (Please don’t take this as me not appreciating your comments… they’re all wonderfully informative)

When I enduring treatment, I tried my hardest to stay positive for the simple fact that if you’re minds not in the fight, your body won’t be either. So, aside from all the medical knowledge you must educate yourself on while dealing with your diagnosis, I find it invaluable to be strong in your mind. It will take you far.

Comment on PSA Testing: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly by mike ferguson

I am definitely 1 of the lucky few. My PSA level was drawn at age 50., initially it was 3 and then a month and a half later went to 4. I was negative on the exam and negative on ultrasound. I had multiple cancers on the biopsy,and stage 4 on the pathology that weren’t found on biopsy.that cancer would have spread as i had positive apical margins.at age 50 its a different game.i love PSA.it saved my life

Thanks Trimix Lady,

Having recently started using Trimix, I noticed after the second shot that I was able to perform fairly well between injections (5 cc) – I had been wondering about the rehabilitation aspect of what happened – nice to find out it is true. I also experienced some soreness – I will have to ask my urologist about the addition of licodaine. And I will have to remember to switch sides – the urologist never mentioned that one.

The first time the urologist offered this to me 2 or 3 years ago my wife was against it – none of the pills worked – headache, stuffiness – I wish I had not waited so long to try it.

Comment on Help! I Have “Lupron Brain” by Hollis Kline

Hollis Kline — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:46:26 +0000

I’ve been on and off lupron for 11 years now. I get pretty sick for the 5 days after my 3 month shot…..I’m fatigued and use dexadrine, ritalin, espresso and 5 hr energy drinks to help the fatigue. I take very low dose effexor for the hot flashes (it cuts them to less than 1/2) I have gained weight and to try and work out is impossible…..I can walk the dog for a ways very slowly and that’s about it…..luckily I can still ride my Harley…..
After being on it for a long period you lose all your body hair…..gain weight and lose muscle…..get breasts……lose your mental abilities. (I had to retire from the tax business- I just couldn’t do the work any more)……and you have to watch the depression…..gratitude fights it best….
I’m now on Lupron and dexamethasone and my psa is steady at 40. down from 66 about 7 months ago. Originally it was 72 when I started this in 2001 with a gleason of 7. so 11 years and counting but sometimes it really really sucks.

i am a 42yr old type 1 diabetic. though my condition is different from what i have read here, i share a side effect. my ED became an issue as i grew older till about 4yrs ago it stopped functioning all together. combined with PE this made intercourse a distant dream. i had tried oral medications which worked for a short time and after they stopped working i had all but given up. a yr ago i heard a commercial on the radio for a doctor here in FL that guaranteed success or your money back. as a corner store clerk it was 6 months before i had the free capital, $200, to make the appointment. After they checked for blood flow they gave me a test injection. a few minutes latter they checked on me for results. though i felt like it had no effect they claimed i had a 90% reaction to the test injection. they immediately went into the sales pitch for trimix and a auto injector. the trimix $145 for 5 doses and $195 for the auto injector. By this time i felt they maybe taking advantage of men with ED and left without purchasing either. after doing some research at home i discovered many pages like this one that claim trimix does work so 6 months later, last week, i called them up and ordered the 5 doses. its due to arrive this week and i cant wait to get with my wife for the first time in 4yrs. my question is $145 for 5 doses about normal and is there somewhere i can order an auto injector for less than the almost $200 they want.
