Thank you for the postings and comments all very informative. I was diagnosed in 0714. I am so happy to have those additional five yeas but the side affects and constant worry wear on you.

I thought I should give a little bit more info about where I am with all this. I had been treated for BPH for several years. At first, I had no symptoms at all, and the diagnosis was made following digital. My PSA has always been around 1, so my GP was treating it with 2 oral medications. In the summer of 2018, I told my GP that I was having an…

Hey Ken

We need more research on prostate cancer for men. Just to deal

Women have it much better they can live a normal life after cancer but if we get prostate cancer the doctor tell you all will be fine and to get another hobby.

That’s not right……

First of all I was not going to say anything but I just have to.

What I’m going to say is my opinion. We are all different and we all have to do what we feel is right for us

If I get prostate cancer I…

Thanks for all the responses. It’s still a struggle. Sometimes 2 steps forward and one step back and somethings 1 step forward and 2 back. I’ll have 1 or 2 better days and then a terrible one. It isn’t bad it sitting but it’s definitely worse when I try to increase my activity. I have seen the surgeon and started some new bladder relaxat…

We recently had a Phd/Researcher/Dietician address our group about food and it’s impact on prostate cancer. He covered food for prevention as well as using food as medicine to slow the progression of prostate cancer.

He noted that researchers have been studying vitamins A and C in tomatoes since the 1940’s, long before they knew of the impact…

Once we’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which diet and lifestyle changes can really reduce the risk of its progress or recurrence? A lot of us do various things, but what’s the evidence say?A metastudy in the World Journal of Urology (2017 35:867-874) surveyed a large number of medical studies of post-diagnosis lifestyle changes and s…

Thanks for your followup reply, Bill. I appreciate the details about therapy. I went to USC for some pelvic floor help last year that included an anal sensor to record the strength of my muscles for kegeling. It helped, but it wasn’t the same as what you describe. Depending on how things progress, I will look into it further, talk to my urologist…
