Hi Hillary .,haven't posted on here for a while as have been trying to get back into a normal routine pistol op.As you may remember I had a few complications after the op with water infections and very swollen bits but now things looking much better.I had meeting with urology registrar who seemed a little confused.Said my notes were a bit mixed up and am sure he told me that the psa blood test ,taken. 2 says earlier was 0.18.Also that they had taken 26 lymph nodes which were all clear but that he had taken a large margin and all nerves ,the margins were tested positive for cancer.He gave me yet another option,either to wait 4 months for next psa test to see if it rose or to start a clinical trial of radiotherapy.To be fair I left his office without asking all the questions I intended to ask as I was quite disappointed that psa was still detectable.I told him I was prepared to wait till the next psa test and then decide but ,on getting home I was given an ear bashing by my wife and friends to start the clinical trial.Being further confused I phoned the urology nurse practitioner who I had spoken to prior to op ,to see what advice she could give me.I was surprised to learn that the psa score I had been given was wrong and should have been 0.018. Not 0.18. Although not in the realms of undetectable this seemed to me to be much better and after a talk to her decided to still wait till next psa check in November .Although still under pressure from the wife I am sticking to my guns and waiting.It has given me a chance to recoups rate from the op and now feel much better in myself ,with still some incontinence ,2 pads a day and leak mostly when active .One thing I discovered on taking a weeks break in Spain was that combination of beer wine and sun irritates the hell out of you .Still big prob with E D and off to docs tommorrow for cialis or Viagra in bulk.Nurse said this may or may not help with this but if not would have to get more hands on with problem.I ain't got a clue what she meant by this lol.Anyway enough about me how are things with you now .?Chris
