At our last Us TOO meeting, a urologist was speaking on erectile dysfunction. Having had protons, I sat there frustrated. I kept thinkg, "If you guys would...
Greetings I hope everyone takes a minute or two to read the YANA report referenced here in Steve's email. It is extremely painful to read, as everything that...
The PSA at 4 is not as important as the increase since the last test. My own example: In July 2007 my PSA was 2.8. In August 2008 it was 3.6 My doctor said if...
I am politely, asking all of you to refrain from making political comments. They only serve to create dischord and raise tempers. Mine is a mixed marriage : )...
While trying to determine the necessity for a second opinion on a biopsy, or to "repeat" a biopsy to confirm the results of the first (as suggested by my...
Second opinion on a biopsy usually means a second opinion in reading, evaluating the slides from the biopsy... not another completely new biopsy. To get such a...
Cliff, this is a very good page about MRI for prostates. It has a list of medical centers which have the capability. The only three listed in CA are UCSF, UCLA...
Dave, I agree. I was in somewhat similar situation. My PSA in Feb 2007 was 1.3. In Feb 2008, I was urinating blood and my PSA was 2.5. In April, it was up to...
Rick sez: "I'm 59 years old and not ready to stop enjoying a healthy sexual relationship with my wife. ..." Well I'm 75+ and although the occasions are fewer...
May I suggest that you use your "delete" key on those messages you prefer not to read? We are indeed on the same side with regards to the beneficial effects of...
Well, I also agree with this, Ron, especially where the "political" comments are related to medical care and proton therapy. Lets just not put ourselves in...
... any ... a ... that ... been ... I am undergoing proton therapy at UFPTI. In response to my question on impotency my doctor advised me: (1)UFPTI has been...
I encourage all to go to Din's blogspot and read his experience at UFPTI thus far. It is almost exactly my experience at LLUMC in 2007. So the "proton...
Early on I also worried about the spread of cancer cells by biopsy. Seems logical that it could happen. But in all the medical stuff that i have read, the...
My guess is that he may have felt he botched the first biopsy... He was chatting with the nurses during the procedure instead of paying attention to what he...
That's one of the first links I found about using MRI for diagnosis http://www.mrisusa.com/documents/S-TheRoleofCombinedMRI.pdf. I hadn't heard about the MRI...
I finished my 39 sessions at UFPTI last week. It was completely successful as far as anyone can tell. The whole experience could serve as a fine example of...
Congratulations Bill I finished up mid Dec at UFPTI and know exactly how you feel. I headed out for home within hours of my last treatment I felt so good. I...
My wife introduced herself to a woman in the waiting room at MPRI. This woman asked my wife if I was there for prostate treatment and my wife said yes. The...
We have a friend who had Dr. Keole last year when he was in treatment at UFPTI. He had chemo once a week with the proton treatments. He is about due for his...
I cannot answer the question about whether or not chemo is still used as an adjuvant treatment although I suspect it is. The reason for the chemo (and adjuvant...
Sorry about that; looks like Dr. Keole is listed as "Advisor," not that he is with the new centers. Don't know where he is if not at UF. This says he is still...
... I can answer some of the questions in this thread. UFPTI is definitely doing chemo now. Dr. Keole told me that he wasn't sure where he would be going but...
