WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS SOCIAL NETWORK?
The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink Social Network is a service of Prostate Cancer International and is closely associated with the core information and daily news made available through The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink. We welcome patients, family members, physicians, researchers, and anyone else who is seeking information about what's happening on Planet Prostate Cancer.
If you want to remain anonymous on this network ... do not use your real name when you sign in. Use a pseudonym, or just your first name and an initial.
One of our primary goals is to help newly diagnosed men to come to the best possible decision for them about a specific course of action. Given two men with exactly the same clinical characteristics, the best possible decision for man A may be very different to the best possible decision for man B.

phillip plowright left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"Hello Mike
Many thanks for the very detailed information. Interesting and sobering at the same time. always believe that I need to know everything, even if it's not that comforting. We went to see the anaesthetist today for the possible…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott replied to Mike S.'s discussion Obtaining Continence Both In and Out of the "Mainstream" in the group ED and Incontinence Post-treatment"I'd be surprised if it was a stricture that was causing the problem at night. It may be that what is happening is that your musculature is become more relaxed at night while you are sleeping and that this is allowing the urine to leak at a rate…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Danny Baker"Hi Danny.
So actually endorectal coils have been used for something like 15 years, but it has only been in the past few years that the technique became sufficiently sophisticated to make enough difference that it started to become more commonly used…"
Patrick replied to Mike S.'s discussion Obtaining Continence Both In and Out of the "Mainstream" in the group ED and Incontinence Post-treatment"I have read up on the Stem cell injections with varying degrees of results. I am going to go to see my Urologist and see what he has to say. I have had so many cystoscopy's for various issues and my Urologist had said there may be a stricture…"
Danny Baker left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"Hi Mike Thanks for your comments. ...yes it was unusual. ...mu urologist would always say that the DRE was normal....After he retired his replacement also did a DRE and said prostate felt normal...PSA still rising biopsies normal....He said it was…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Danny Baker"Welcome Danny.
So the very small rise in your PSA level since you stopped the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT, also known as "hormone" therapy) is perfectly normal ... so long as it doesn't go on rising. And if your PSA does go on…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Ramon L Garcia-Lazcano"Welcome Ramon.
So if I am understanding all your information correctly, you are 72 years of age; you were diagnosed last December with what seems to have been 1 of 12 biopsy cores containing less than 10% cancer which might be either Gleason 3 + 3 =…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Melanie"Welcome Melanie.
Has your husband just been diagnosed with prostate cancer or was he diagnosed and treated a while ago.

How can we be of assistance?"

E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott replied to Mike S.'s discussion Obtaining Continence Both In and Out of the "Mainstream" in the group ED and Incontinence Post-treatment"Patrick:
I have no idea whether there is such an animal in Winnipeg, but you probably need to go and get evaluated by a urologist who specializes in male incontinence and who can walk you through the various possible treatment options for…"

E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott replied to Rick's discussion Penile Implants in the group Sexual Function, Penile Rehabilitation, and Quality of Life"Hi Rick.
So I am sorry to hear you are having problems with recovery. Hopefully these will resolve soon."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for phillip plowright"Phillip:
So here is why I think your doctors are probably recommending the laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (now that I know your clinical stage is T2NxM0).
If I assume that your clinical stage is T2cNxM0 (which the the worst possible case scenario…"

According to all the research on treatments for ED, penile implants have the highest satisfaction rate. Oddly its the least chosen option. I know I made the right decision."
Chuck Grim replied to Rick's discussion Penile Implants in the group Sexual Function, Penile Rehabilitation, and Quality of Life"Rick,
A fellow came to my prostate cancer support group and told us about his experience with a penile implant. When he first went to the doctor he asked for references to other men that had the procedure. He got 6 references that he called. He said…"
