Cancer in general is no laughing matter so don't be surprised at the lack of laughs cheesepuff.

Thanks guys. I am on radiotherapy Mon-Fri for 4 weeks. Just started Tuesday. I am told it gets progressively worse as the weeks go by. Essentially they are burning a hole in my body!

cancer can be beat. there is no doubt about that. i got to go get something checked out myself (i may have cancer as well) but i still like to have a good laugh. no point in feeling sorry for myself. the best way to live life is happily. (kinda hoping the balls of steel would at least give you a good chuckle)

I have a very supportive wife and without her requesting a change of urologist I don't think I would have been offered this experimental treatment. I was really pessimistic a few months ago but am feeling much better now. Being proactive is always better than just giving in.

I will not be getting a PSA test again till later this year so guess I will be jittery then...

cheesepuff, hope your tests are clear. You are very young to be having any problems and I feel sure you will be OK. Keep us posted; share the symptoms with us if you like!

I have a mole er something on my back. doc says if it grows it could be cancerous. it's grown a bit. but i dont think its much. but i'll have to be checked out still for it.

i have a potencially cancerous mole on my back as well so i have to wear a shirt at all times.

and my grandpa had one in exactly the same spot and he got cancer from it. but ehen they cit it out he had to have a skin graft. i dont want one of those, so its a shirt for me if i dont already have cancer.

anyway. get better mike! hope your feeling better.

I think in your position I would go for the removal. That way you don't need to worry about it any more and I guess the graft would be small. Go for it!

Thanks for your wishes. 5 RT sessions down, 15 to go!
