One of the biggest complaints that I hear from patients is they were not told how things would be. So....here is your forum....250,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer a year....that represents 17-20 % of the men that had either an abnormal rectal exam or an elevated psa. So....tell us your story and let's make …
Prostate cancer, The U.S. Coast Guard and my mother the “Spar.”
Okay so a high-ranking official in the Coast Guard is found to have cancer and has plans to have surgery at Bethesda Hospital. I don't know this but they probably don't do the robotic method there...that's just a side note...it is of no consequence. It is still news, somehow and some way famous people who …

The picture above is actually fascinating. Today at the lake I was in command of all the five dogs...Bella, Brother, Penelope, and the evil twins Big Baby Girl and Little Longfellow.

If continence is that one most important factor don’t choose removing your prostate for prostate cancer.
My Dog Calendar for 2012 Don't buy it...just click the preview button. I bet you'll see a dog or two you recognize. Since my book has been written I see a lot of patients who show up for a second opinion. I get to hear first hand the impressions made by the original urologist. Sometimes it's …

If you can’t get patients to stop wanting to be screened for prostate cancer…just call it something else. Brilliant!
So this is what it has come to. Patients are not smart enough not to "fall" for being treated for prostate cancer. So let's change the name. One way or the other the NIH, the HHS, the USTFPF (or whatever) will figure out a way not to pay for prostate cancer screening. They are a clever bunch. And who …

I commonly have to correct patients decision making reasoning as related to the title of this post. "I think I'll remove it because at least that way I know I got it all," I hear often. This reasoning is flawed as the above videocast explains.
question about prostate cancer and a psa of 46 then antibiotics – psa16 then two weeks a psa of 20…what to do? what does this all mean?
the psa and antibiotics...what's the deal? A podcast.
Being diagnosed of prostate cancer when it is too late to cure and dying of prostate cancer in one’s prime…Deja Vu all over again!
I remember when it was announced that this guy had prostate cancer. It is always interesting to me and sad that a person with the money, education, resources is diagnosed late with prostate cancer when it could have been so easily prevented and then dies in a year or so. How tragic. And yet all we read …
