prostate cancer

[Tinman507]

knkali,

I wish you the best outcome possible. We all like to put off the unpleasant and try to ignore this stuff. I am as guilty as anyone. I get a yearly psa, but with a family history I know it's nearly inevitable something may come up one of these years.

Trust your instincts and do what you know needs to get done. Thank God we're living in 2014 and not 1959. Very positive outcomes these days. You almost never hear of anyone going out with Prostate Cancer anymore unless they've ignored everything.

God Bless and prayers for you. You'll make it through.

well

I understand Jocko. Labs then only showed a 10% chance of me having cancer for the last few years though. So not sure if I made a bad call based on the info presented to me at the time. With a 60% chance now, it is a no brainer. Open up and say Ahhhh. Trying to keep some sense of humor. Hard to do but trying.

u can go sit i the corner kand say "whoa is me or u can do what ur doing" talking about it. as u can see ur not alone, many have walked in the shoes ur gonna walk in and are here to talk about it. To much technology today with prostate cancer to not live a normal life Ur age was about when ihad mine ad I thoought the worse for a long time, got very depressed over it thinkng all the wor4se until I meet people far worse tan I with difference illnesses, 15 yersa gao mayb eu could have kissed ur ass good buy but today no way, just to much technology and things they can do to take care of prostrate cancer. The fact that they have monitored it te last few years and now feel like they need to do a biopsy tells me they and u have been o top of it all along Be interesting to see what your gleason score is from the biopsy to. OM me with it if u will when all is done. ASK QUESTIONS its ur body..:israel::israel:

The thanks goes to Downtown, Jocko, Armybrat and Bawanna. I wanted to delete the thread. They kicked my ass and kept it going. They were right to do so too.

My Dad and 3 Uncles have had prostate cancer and only one died from it. He was diagnosed at age 78 and had a bad heart so they didn't operate (it was a slow grower).
At age 87 he had cancer everywhere. But that was back in the 90's.
My Dad and other 2 Uncles all had treatment right away and never had another issue.
Be careful!
Prayers…Always

That's sad but at the same time 78 is a good run for any man, I'd be thrilled to make 78 and to be diagnosed and live to 87 well that's a gift right there.

Funny thing about life, nobody gets out alive. Make the most of it.

Reminds me that my Doc is on my ass to get a camera up mine...
Guess I should bite the bullet and make an appointment.


God bless Knkali and best of luck with the process. We will keep you and yours in our prayers.

Not a big deal. The prep of course sucks but the actual procedure is nothing. They gave me what they call the I don't care drug, I was awake but don't remember a thing. I tried to talk them into getting me some for work, I could show up in the morning take it and next thing I know the days over. Sweet.

Doc was a real clown though. Last thing I remember him saying was "We're all behind you". Sick basturd!

[Tinman507]

Colonoscopy isn't nearly as bad as everyone imagines. Like Colonel said the prep part is a beast but the actual procedure is a piece of cake. They call that propofol Milk of Amnesia. A little bit and you're waking up on the other side.

[Bawanna]

So can you get me some of that propofol stuff. I want to get to the other side.

Michael Jackson had too much of Propofol from a quack Dr., and never returned. Great stuff when used correctly.

[Bawanna]

That was the same stuff? Scratch my request. Don't wnat no more of that.

[kwh]

Yes same stuff but was used incorrectly. Dr. Quack left Jackson all alone in his house, not a hospital, while he was on an IV drip of propofol=100% malpractice. This would not happen to us normal-( yes even including Jocko)- people. We would be carefully monitored and under watchful eye. Jackson hired his own private physician to administer him drugs to help him sleep. Propofol is an anesthetic not a sleep aid nor a "chill pill" type of med. Like guns, meds will have serious consequences if used incorrectly. Does not mean we should be afraid or not use them. This Dr. had his finger on the trigger, pointed the barrel in the wrong direction, fired multiple times, and declared it was not his fault. This was not an accident, not even negligence, but a blatant disregard for the person he was treating using a drug 100% inappropriate for that use. I am not a Michael Jackson fan, but nobody deserves to be to be treated like that. My intent was not to cause worry about anesthetic procedures, I just went on a mini-rant. Propofol is one of the safest anesthetics with fewest side effects out there, that is why it is used so often.
