THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2016 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

Hi My name is Thomas Tra and I am 41 years old, I found out that my PSA level is 6ng/ml when I just went for the regular check up and mention that I want to do PSA test my father got PC 7 years ago. After debated with the doctor he agree to let me have the test and there it is. I got something in my blood. But the doctor didn't seem very excited about that and told me that I should wait and have another the test in the next couple of weeks, then 3 weeks later I got the other test and it is the same number. Then I started to ask him to send me to some urologist but I waited and waited until I can't wait anymore after 2 months, so I went to the other GP and asked her to help me to refer me to the urologist so finally I could see the U after 3 and a half months. He asked me the other blood test after 3,5 months then it shows 6.3 for my PSA. So he wanted to do biopsy right away and it was 7 out of 13 sample got cancer Gleason score 7 (4+3) Stage T1C.

So from some friend I know that there are a new type of surgery in canada call Robotic Laparoscopic Protatectomy and I think I like to do that way so I asked my urologist to give me that type of surgery but unfortunately his hospital doesn't have that machine so I have to look for another the urologist. Lucky enough I know one good friend I also got the same PC like my so he introducted me to doctor Singal in East York hospital and he took me almost a next day. So he gave a week to think about that and then take my wife to see him too, he wanted both of us know what is going on and have a good prepare for that. So that I am scheduled to have operation on Dec 21. Go home next day and on catheter for almost 3 weeks due to the holidays and vacation of the year and my U as well.

Well, I will update later what is next to me.

Hi just want to updated that my PSA result on May 1 is 0. Which is good but my RO still wants me to do the hormone treatment and Adjuvant Radiation. So I am scheduled for my ART on May 21.

Well, I will update for more for sure

It has been a while I didn't updating my story. My PSA is still remain un detectable. Well, it was a mess last year or me.After the surgery, then the radiation and hormone treatment together. it was bad but. I am glad that I got over that. The problem now is the ED and incontinence. I still have to wear the little pad since it still dropping sometime. And the cialis doesn't seem work that well, it is not hard enough for intercourse. But doctor said I am lucky it is still up a bit (50%). Guys who have all the treaments like me usually went dead for that. I don't know it is good or bad but it isn't go anywhere.

Well, it is for now, I will try to keep it posted to you guys.

Hi, it is me again, thanks to reminded me. Another year pass and I am survived. PSA still remain undetectable and the health is improved significant. The only problem is I am still leaking even practice on Kegel everyday as well as bio fedback physiotherapy. And ED is still impact me badly. I won't be able to get hard with the pills and so many side effect from the the pills too. But still manage that to make my lady happy.
