Keep us informed on your journey and if you have any questions let me know. Next is biopsy?
@zygotepeyote3 ай бұрын
@@joec42064 Yes! Tried to schedule it but Dr. wants to see me for a follow up first. According to radiologist everything is 7 x 4mm and inside my prostate. I would think a Gleason score is needed to determine a course of treatment. I would love to speak with you in the future as I watched your Dr. and that is why I chose MRI before biopsy. Next appt. is July 11th. Get well and I hope we can speak sometime in the future.

When I was treated in Hampton Va. I needed a hotel. I lived 100 miles from the place. I think it was a COUNTRY INN I used. They bent over backwards to help me. Rented a room 4 days a week and home each weekend. They took a lot of the burden from me and were cheaper for me than any of the"deals" others offered. Catching up on your journey.🦇

Thank you so much. I am missing everyone. Looks like I made the right choice. Pathology came back on my prostate. Cancer was more aggressive than we thought. Gleason score of 9 out of 10. All signs show it was only in the prostate.

Glad to hear things went well. I had the constipation as well after my surgery. It will get back to normal soon. I took the stool softener, prune juice, etc. Did not try the White Castle burgers. You're right, that should get you going. I added more fruits and vegetable to my diet.

So glad you are recovering at home! You will feel so much better once the catheter is out and you are wearing pants! Keeping you in my positive thoughts and prayers!❤️🙏

The catheter was the worst part for me too. I had my gallbladder out and hernia surgery prior. My stomach looks like I was in a knife fight with an octopus

Hi Joe, I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably. I would like to share the diet with you. The soup Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat. Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready. I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. (Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.) During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you. I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed. Amen. I would also like to share the following six videos with you about salvation and two videos about evolution: Evolution vs. God kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5TCiGyMqd99ZqM DESTROYING Evolution In Under 3 Minutes kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYjIlIOtp7apaMU Watch the Holy Spirit Work in Her Heart (Very Moving) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3OooHxoqpuef6s Fearing The Lord, God’s Discipline & Sharing The Gospel kzbin.info/www/bejne/mna2ZoqNa5uAqNE A Clear Gospel Presentation by Pastor Steven Anderson - How to go to Heaven kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4moloCNeN2sqLM The Plan of Salvation kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7OmYWDhdunlZI How to Get Saved kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5u6lZ6rq9eHbNU The Truth About Hell (Selected Scriptures) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fdk5uVmbGkadU Best regards Chris “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Joe. Glad your surgery went well. Heads up for a complication I had after my prostatectomy. Rare occurrence but surgical clips are left inside patients. I do not remember that disclosure prior to my operation. About 10 weeks after my surgery, I started to feel sick. Thought I had the flu. I spent a week in bed then finally went in to the ER. They discovered an infected lymphocele. I then spent four days in the hospital recovering, and had another drain put in to release the lymphatic fluid. The infectious disease doctor that treated me surmised that the only thing he could think of that would've caused the infection was one of the surgical clips had bacteria on it. It set my recovery back by a good 6-8 weeks.
