Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks for your comments all. I think it may be done by that eminent Russian surgeon - Professor Chopabolokov. Well. One has to laugh. It keeps me from worrying about it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Best Wishes Bilbraborn, I hope they get you sorted out quickly. PS.....Just Think. If you were a Russian Patient of Professor Chopabolokov, we could call you...Ivornakeroff. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 While we are on the subject of men's round things (they are oval, in fact), and straying slightly away from the topic, I am reminded of a story told to me years ago by a chap I worked with. He had a friend who was getting dressed in his bedroom and sans trousers sat on the bed. The mattress was not on the bed and he sat on the cross-wired bed frame. As he did so his weight pressed down and expanded the segments. His round things dropped through the segments. When he stood up the segments retracted to their original size and....

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Don't even go there. Looks like I'll be incapacitated over Christmas. Nice to get all Christmas off work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have just got home from another unexpected day in New Cross Hospital. I am still having a few problems and this is the second visit since my procedure in August. Lots of tests, more next week and a visit to see the cadiologist in November. As soon as my heart has recovered from the OP they will start to take me off the meds. So just the healing time, and fingers crossed for November. We just happened to pass GREGGS on the way home. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Andy C PSA of 4 is OK so far, its the doubling rate that you should take note of. Ask the urologist of the PSA doubling rate and he will tell you. 0-1 and then 0-2 then 0-3 is a slow doubling rate. If its 4 to 8 then 16 within a few weeks then there are problems. it sounds like you have a team which is carefully monitoring you and will get you straight on to a treatment plan quickly. In any case you have my best wishes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
