This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Thanks for writing.
Just read over your posts, and see that there are many possibilities out there, some of them not encouraging...
Had ultrasound and then a TURP 6 months ago after total blockage of urine. The surgeon said that the bladder was a mess- all convoluted pockets and he couldn't even locate the ends of the tubes from the kidneys. Not encouraging...
Good to read that you have succeeded in overcoming the various procedures and treatments, and in good spirits! Hope that I can deal with what may be coming...
Good health!
Eitan,
I had a friend with a similar prostate cancer situation, of PSA and gleason. At some point after several years of Lupron he got a swelling in one of his feet that he could not account for. My sense at the time was that the cancer was doing some lymph blockage. Gist being, if there is no swelling in your feet then perhaps the lymph nodes are fine. This is just my layman's take on it.
