    My favorite subject!, I had prostate surgery on Tuesday. It did not go well. The robot would not work so the surgeon had to do it manually. Took 4 hours. My blood pressure crashed and they had to get into ICU for 2 days. I am in pain but I am going to beat cancer. You can book that. Thanks to my brothers here for your prayers. I believe they saved my life. I love my Steelers. Good nlght

    Just glad you had the courage to ask for our help. Can't imagine facing what you are without a support group. You're right at the top of my list Rollers - speedy recovery and permanent remission.

    Glad to hear you have a positive attitude. It will be four years that I had mine taken out. Things are not going well for me since it has been spreading. Boy, did I go to the wrong doctor for 12 years. He kept telling me I'm fine and my new doctor told me, I probably had cancer 2 or 3 years before my original doctor told me. My brother, cousins, four uncles all died of prostrate cancer so, I made sure I got checked every six months for 12 years and the ******* still missed it.
    It's now in my leg, spinal cord, lung, pelvic area. They said it's in other areas too but it hasn't shown itself.
    I get pretty depressed and my personality or mood is all over the place sometimes. I've become very negative if you ever read any of my post lol.
    They have done all that they can for me.
    What made things worse, I used to have great health insurance. $472.00 a month for my wife and myself. Then Obama Care kicked in. My insurance went up to $700.00 a month. Didn't have as good as coverage. Then it went to $900.00 and more deductibles. Then it went to $1,200.00 a month and then, I could no longer afford it. Gone two years without insurance or seeing a doctor. No biggie since there is no cure for me. It's kind of nice not seeing a doctor, I used to get worked up before each appointment. Now I just wonder what would they be saying to me. The last six months I finally been able to buy insurance. My PSA level has not risen so, I'm happy about that.
    I asked my doctors what I can do or they can do for me, they tell me to pray. Oh terrific ! That's the last thing I want to hear. Not that I don't believe in God, prayer and all that but, I'd rather heard some uplifting medical talk.

    On the bright side, my doctor did do the nerve sparing surgery. I don't need diapers, I could have sex if I wasn't married.
    I remember the doctor telling me, there's a 50/50 chance you will ever have sex again. I said great, that's better odds than I have now, have you met my wife ? He was stunned that I said this. He said men have cried, gotten angry but, I never heard this before. I said oh well, it is what it is, i really just want to live, I have small children.
