2 YEARS after 2 years of quarterly lupron depot then 28 radiations. Sucks 0 energy o zest for life. 82 years old. Never advised of Possible lupron side effects = CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR BY LUPRON DOCTOR.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My husband is in prostate removal surgery at this moment. He is 65. The doctors all made it sound like it wouldn't come back for at least 10 years and then they could do radiation, but there are a lot of comments here about recurrence not too long after removal.

love ur tshirt where did you get it

REAL GREAT INFO....BRAVO------------------------------------

I had my surgery 8 days ago. Fortunately my doctor believes that the cancer was confined to the prostate and I expect to be cancer free. I was surprised at the amount of bruising and swelling that I experienced last week. My scrotum probably tripled in size and turned completely black. The bruising on my stomach went from my right side all the way across to the left side with most of the bruising snd swelling on the sides. I still feel pain in my stomach and my tailbone area. I had the catheter removed yesterday and unfortunately, I have to report complete incontinence. This is very troubling and I’m doing the Keagle exercises hoping that they’ll be some improvement. No regrets but the recovery is much harder than I expected.

Thank you Chris. I’ve been thrusted into the prostate cancer club and have not decided on treatment yet but know I need to get on with something soon. I tell you what I hope I can muster the balls you have in dealing with this cancer. Thank you Chris love you man.

Hi Chris, thank you for sharing your PC journey. You are an inspiration to all of us out there fighting cancer. May I ask with all your described treatments, will you be able to work or have to be on disability? Thanks

Chris, how is your progress going?

You runned 5 miles at six weeks after sugery 😮

Hey thank you for sharing your journey! I was diagnosed in early 2019 with prostate cancer at the age of 54… I had a PSA of 10 and biopsy show Gleason score of 4+3 = 7... I don't know if an all your videos you said this already and I apologize if you have but what was your Gleason score with the biopsy? I went through nine weeks of external beam targeted radiation I chose not to do surgery… my PSA reached an in a nadir of 0.7 about two years after radiation which is common for it to take a while… I've been asymptomatic of anything now for almost 5 years… My last three PSA test however have begun to rise to where I'm now at one .38 from .7 - i'm hoping this is the PSA bounce that sometimes happens with radiation but I am seeing my oncologist on Monday to discuss this and see if I scan might be in order just to be sure… I hope you continue to heal!

I found that since I wasn't really going to leave the house that keeping the larger bag was more convenient. The first time I tried to swap out the leg bag for the larger bag (before going to bed), I made a mess. When you're not sure how much force to use to pull the tubes apart, you either take forever trying to do it or you yank it out and drops go flying everywhere. All in all, the catheter was not a huge deal. The upside was not having to get up at night to pee. After 4-5 years of that, it was a welcome respite. The downside was anticipating the removal. Whenever I would think about it, I would get the heebie-geebies. Getting the catheter out was not a walk in the park. A welcomed event, but a little painful. I went to the doctor's office prepared. I took a Depends with me so that I could put it on immediately after the catheter was removed. The first night was rough. I went to the bathroom probably 5-6 times. However, it didn't take long for things to settle down and within 2-3 days I settled into a routine. I am 4-1/2 weeks since my surgery and now 3 weeks since the catheter was removed. I still leak when I stand up. I go through 4-5 Depends in a 24 hr period. I've noticed small improvements as the time goes by. I'm a month in and looking forward to what life will be like a month from now.

Yep quick cough and out it came,no pain at all guys 😉

Thank you for sharing. Praying for you.

Thank you for sharing! I What you shared was encouraging to me.

Thanks for your videos 📹 😊🙏

Chris, your courage, candor and kindness are "off the charts." This series has been a huge help to me as I am dealing with PSA levels that have "bounced around" for about eight years. Will be meeting with a urologist at a local teaching hospital next month. Don't know if I have cancer or not, but either way have found this whole series inspirational. Thank you for doing this.

Hi Chris I'm still struggling with the in urine incontinence too much frustration

Very good

Very encouraging, I'm currently halfway through the exact same situation and hoping for similar results if not better. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this. I’m at 2 weeks tomorrow and my experience mirrors yours. This was really helpful.

Thank you, sir! Very rarely do I search and find exactly what I'm looking for and need to hear! You talked about everything I wanted to know, and you went thru exactly my route and procedures, damn near to a T. I am about to go into Radiation and Harmon therapy. I feel better, knowing what "may" lie ahead for me! Thank, thank you and thank you for this video!

I,m 56 years old active and "helathy", gleasson 4+3, I thinking to take VMAT radiotherapy+ADT instead of da vinci surgery as my first treatment, what do you think?

Chris hi , what were your psa levels over time after surgery? were you taking 100mg on a daily basis?

I guess I was super lucky since I regained full bladder control about 7 days after catheter removal. I was initially planning for the long haul due to the free flow of urine once off the catheter, but here I am with a serious oversupply of pads. I guess that’s a nice problem to have. Good luck to all with your recovery!

My experiences are identical to what you have said in every way I am 3 weeks post surgery now. Mine was done by top surgeon and da vinci robot. Good luck and speedy recovery

When I do the legal exercises it makes me pee instead of stopping it I'm only 5 weeks after surgery but I'm not getting any control. Why

Hello Chris, I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and came across your channel. I just finished watching all of your videos and I wanted to thank you for documenting and sharing your experience. I want you to know that I admire your courage as well as your candor and straightforwardness. You have expressed how you hope that your videos will help others. Trust me, they really have. I sat with my notebook while watching, jotting down points to discuss with my surgeon. Wishing you all the best in your continued recovery! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing.

You are such a nice person Chris I feel so sorry for you. I know you don't want people to feel sorry for you I know that but I have emotional feelings listening to your stories. I am dragging my feet on treatments. I'm 70 years old 3 + 4 = 7 and 2 biopsy opinions. The initial report I would consider favorable Gleason 7. A 5% volume on the four. But I did have multiple cores. But the second opinion from John Hopkins came back 40% and 50% on the fours. Which is not good. I am waiting for a third opinion! But for some reason the doctors are dragging their feet on ordering it. Which is giving me a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety.

I am debating between surgery and proton therapy. Does anyone know what the percentage of reoccurrences with ... Surgery? I thought my doctor told me 40%. Which is very high I think. Does anyone know.

38 radiation treatments! Because you had a PSA of 0.45? Wtf! This is why I don't even want to try any kind of treatment when I hear stories like yours. Why would the doctors radiate their pelvic area with such a almost undetectable PSA score! I would think they would have to get it up to one and a half or two! So they could at least see where the cancer is with a PSMA pet scan! Comments thoughts please. It's becoming so frustrating when I hear stories like yours I could be wrong but man I don't think so bro.

What was your initial Gleason score?

What kind of doctor would not insist on an MRI before the biopsy! Wtf! You can have such better accuracy with MRI guiding the needles.

Can you recomend the rigth kegel exercises to do?

I had a radical prostatectomy one yeaar ago and now my PSA is 23. I'm booked in to see a Radiation Oncologist this week and deoending on PET results i might ask for some time, like 90 days where i can go hard on every alternative natural treatment like fenbendazole and ivermectin, RSO, CDS, everything thats too much to list but what I've researched over the past year.

Merci Chris…..from a french canadian. You’re videos are very useful. I went to surgery on june 4th, had remove the cathetar and had to be put on because of problems….had it remove for the second time 3 days ago….living with a lot of dripping but i keep the spirit…

Glad you are off Lupron, as that medication has horrible side effects, which I am sure you experienced. I am sure Lupron is effective, however, life without testosterone is miserable.

Surgery a week ago. How are you?

Chris I've seen all of your videos. I feel so sorry for you and what you're going through. It makes me think that I should not do anything if I hear what you're going through. I have a bunch of Gleason 7 cores in the doctors want to start radiation or prostatectomy. But I am delaying. I'm hoping that active surveillance with a very healthy diet and exercise might suppress the cancer. Stop it from growing. Because I know once I start treatment I'll be a customer of the medical profession for life! It terrifies me what I would be going through.

Thank you so much for sharing, your videos help a lot!!!!🙏

Costco

Nice to hear that you are doing well. Cheers!

Chris I have listened to all of your videos everyone!!! But I can't remember recalling what was your original Gleason scores. Very important for me to know. Cuz I am researching deciding what treatment I am going to take. I'm sort of leaning towards proton therapy. But I plan on refusing all hormone treatments. Also, would you happen to know the "volume" of those scores. Thank you so much.

Incontinence was terrible for 2-3 weeks after surgery but if you are religious about kegels it can make a difference. I can hold at night now to sleep, but the daytime standing upright is a different story. A penal clamp by Weiss gave me mobility back. It has been a life saver but is not a replacement for doing your pelvic floor exercises.

I wouldn't have too much faith in that urologist of yours Chris. He didn't get to all the cancer out number one. You're incontinence lasted a very long time and now this!?!? I wouldn't go to that guy I feel so sorry for you Chris. I have listened to all of your videos so far. Following your story. I am learning a lot too. To me listen to your stories and others I don't believe there's a cure for this cancer. Seems like it's only benefitingthe doctors and chemical companies. And the radiologists and their big expensive machines which they have to pay for. Ha!

Chris I wanted to ask you this question a few weeks ago but I forgot. What do you do at night when you're sleeping as far as the incontinence goes. I pee a whole lot at night and wondering what do I do to stop my bed from being drenched in urine!! Would I have to set my alarm every 2 hours to wake up and change my diaper?

I am 70 years old and have Gleason 7 in five Coors. Which isn't too good. I've been juicing eating alkaline vegetables and fruits no milk no carbohydrates. Play tennis everyday. I am trying desperately to avoid any treatment with metabolic therapy. But listening to your story healthy young guy didn't help beat cancer. It too makes me very angry.

I've been listening to all your videos so far Chris and I truly thank you so much for taking the time and chronicling your journey. I didn't do anything yet with my prostate problem. Still deciding what treatment I am going to pursue.

I tell you what ....listening to this video the night before surgery is sure ....FREAKY!!!

You think that the hospital or doctor would provide those diapers!!!WTF!! They know which ones work the best!! That I don't get it all. Just a few just to let you know what kind is the best!!!
