After today’s visit to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for evaluation of my prostate cancer, I can hear grating sound of scalpels being sharpened. I've not been able to emotionally process this visit yet, but the physicians there have offered their recommendations. It’s going to be a...
The last thing up my ass… was a rectal probe, part of an MRI examination, the final step in the effort to find out how widely my prostate cancer, diagnosed on biopsy a couple months ago, may have spread. I’ll get the results in about 10 days. The procedure, itself, was unique, and something I...
I kissed my wife and left home with a bit of urgency this AM. I was off to the endorectal MRI that is to be the last study done to make recommendations for treatment. The urgency was simply wanting to be sure not to miss the subway that would take me to NIH where the study was to be done. I did...
I've been coasting. The whirlwind time after getting the cancer diagnosis from the prostate biopsy has been replaced by a sort of reprieve. The past six weeks I've been living life as usual, taking antibiotics to treat what may be a chronic prostate infection that has been raising my PSA levels...
Since the consultation at NIH suggested gathering more information before making treatment recommendations for my newly diagnosed prostate cancer, things have calmed down a little.
We celebrated my wife's birthday over the weekend. Went to a place where she enjoys the food and the...
It is Wednesday evening and my wife and I have returned from a consultation today at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to review recommendations for treatment of the prostate cancer discovered on biopsy a month ago. The recommendation is for more testing to best determine how to proceed...
The bone scan and the CAT scan that the urologist ordered to evaluate whether my prostate cancer had extended beyond the prostate gland itself were completed a few days ago. At the time, the bone scan technician had worried me by wondering if I had arthritis or something. What he was sort of...
A week has passed since visiting the VA Hospital for a second opinion about my prostate cancer. Now the day has arrived when I’m supposed to get a bone scan and a CAT scan, looking for evidence that the cancer in my prostate has spread beyond the gland to other places like lymph nodes and bones...
Yesterday the urologist who made my prostate cancer diagnosis laid out his view of what steps I needed to take as we evaluated the extent of my illness. He had been objective, clear and direct. But at one point he admitted to being puzzled that I didn't have either a more worrisome picture, or a...
The weekend following the telephone conversation when my urologist informed me that I had cancer of the prostate went fairly well. My wife was involved in a local volunteer archeological activity for most of Saturday. We jokingly call it “washing rocks” as she and other clean the bits of stuff...
The bleeding and aching from the prostate biopsy cleared completely in a few days. And with them the sense of dejection that I had felt. I'd look at guys walking confidently down the road and think, "Your prostate is not aching, right now, and you are totally unaware of what may be lurking...
It's 24 hours (and a bit more) since the biopsy. I'm very happy to report that the burning discomfort was diminished through the evening with moving around and with Tylenol (no aspirin or Motrin or such allowed, as these can promote bleeding). I was able to sleep well last night, with only some...
The last thing up my ass was easier to take than I had anticipated. The urologist's rectal ultrasonic probe was only as big as my little finger. But that was only part of the experience.
It really started yesterday, when I began to take the antibiotic the doc had prescribed. The point here is...
A family member, "Ben," visited as part of the holiday weekend. His visit gave me a chance to learn how he's been doing recently since his own prostate biopsy and surgery for cancer 3 years ago. This guy is a fit dude, retired from a law enforcement career, sporting a flat belly and looking like...
The next thing going up my ass worries me some. My urologist wants to do a prostate biopsy because I have an elevated PSA. So my rectum is going to be host to an ultrasonic rectal probe and a biopsy gun. Sounds like fun.:frown1:
Basically I'm not real happy about any part of this. The idea of...
It's Sunday, I'm home with my wife, and things are just great. :biggrin1:
Saturday I had to get up early for an 18 hr drive back home. Thanks to the cock cage I had no trouble waking up early as the old cock, possibly anticipating homecoming, was urgently seeking freedom most of the night...
If you've got your cock in a plastic case for a week, it's pretty important to keep things clean. I just use a hand shower, and shampoo for lather, getting as much soap into the cage as possible, and rinsing well. Final drying with a hair dryer set on low. A q-tip and some silicone lube keeps...
OK. Five days without even touching my dick, let alone jacking. And five nights being waked up by my dick trying to stand up and stretch a little bit. And the last two days I've felt like a teen ager whose date refuses sex -- blue balls from being on the beach, seeing an unending parade of...
Wednesday was the fourth full day in the cock cage. I have to admit that the thing is getting pretty tiresome, but it's certainly doing its job: keeping me out of trouble and keeping me from jacking off. One side effect, however, is that sex is frequently on my mind, and I often feel a little...
Had an interesting day. Jogged, swam, cycled, visited a concert, did some e-chatting, and checked out a local bar. The old cock lock, cock cage, did its job well.
The activity was no problem. No pain, no pinching (needed to make some "adjustments" to the package on the bike, but fine...
