Prostate Cancer

Not much in the way of change. Allergies are bad. I am running a low fever. Nursing staff never called back. Going ahead with X-ray and appointment on Monday afternoon and see what happens. Catheter getting more painful. Would love to get rid of it. God is in control.

Still haven’t heard back from scheduling. Did get a confirmation page that I did have the appointment Monday afternoon. No more calls. Going to do the X-ray Monday if don’t hear from them. Hopefully they will have changed the X-ray to urgent. If not I will see if they can […]

Still waiting on a call back from scheduling nurse. I have the X-ray on Monday, but still don’t have an appointment to remove the catheter. It is starting to get painful. My allergies are acting up last two days. Sinuses not doing well. Just not feeling to good.

Trying to set up an X Ray called a cystogram for Monday before my scheduled appointment to get the catheter out next Monday. The game plan per the doctor’s office was to get the cystogram in the morning, and see the doctor in the afternoon. I couldn’t get an appointment […]

I had my follow up doctor’s appointment today. The news was excellent. They did remove the JP Drain.  They will be keeping the catheter in for another week. The lab results were back from the tissue he removed. The cancer was super aggressive. The Gleason score was actually a 9 […]

Even with fiber and probiotics. Left foot still in major pain. Called Doctor this morning to make sure he doesn’t think […]

Doing okay today. Feeling blah due to stomach issues.  Did not get much sleep last night. Took a 2 hour nap this afternoon. Feel better. Took first pain pill this morning since Wednesday.  I have peripheral nephropathy (no diabetes – no nerve damage, they can’t tell me why), one of […]

I’m experiencing a little more pain around the areas where the robot went in. I have been “ambulating” (walking around) a lot more today.  The JP drain is almost empty today. I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon on Monday. He was supposed to remove the drain and […]

There is a lot of pain when I try to change positions (sitting/laying/standing). Last night I tried to find a suitable place to sleep. The recliner is too low, and it too painful to get in and out of. The bed was actually too high. I was able to get […]

The doctor was in here to see me in the morning. Looks like I’ll be going home from the hospital after lunch if everything goes okay. Have to try walking around. I also have to hold down some solid food, so far have been on a liquid diet. Not in […]
