Damn, I don't know what else to say other than you are in my prayers, Dave.

Thanks Doug. Prostate MRI is Sunday…

Let me know how it goes.

Let me know how it goes.

Sure will! I probably wont know how it compares to last years till my appointment early Nov. Then I would bet my doc want to do another biopsy which I already dread...fun how they call it "a biopsy" when its actually 12.

Sorry to hear this Dave. Praying for a full recovery. Healing takes longer and we encounter more complications as we get older.

Remember that dumb rash I had last January after my elbow surgery? I never thought that would pass but it did.

You will get past this and back to normal.

Yeah, they take 12 samples, so it is actually 12 biopsies. Uncomfortable doesn't even begin to describe it.

"you may feel some pressure and minor discomfort ....."

Yeah, doc, let's switch places so you really experience the "pressure and minor discomfort" first hand.

thats what I said last year as well. pretty sure he wants to do another one this year. I might ask him if its ok if I self medicate before arrival.

I cant get the eye injections because they are steroids and I reacted to the steroid eye drops. I am on NSAID drops for a month. then I see the retinologist again and see how its going. could take 4-8 weeks.
So my light adjustable cataract lense process is on hold till the swelling is resolved. I am not the most patient person and this is SLOW!!

4 or 5 valium might take the edge off lol

 

[DougE]

Seriously though, I've had that doodad shoved up the back door once for the biopsy and again to have the gold beads inserted prior to radiation treatments. Yeah, no, ain't gonna be a third time.

I would do 5 Valium.

I would do 5 Valium.

Should be enough to make you not really care what they shove up where lol
