Laser Prostate Surgery?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

I would like to know people’s experience with this laser surgery. I have an enlarged prostate and don’t like to take medication. PSA is normal at 2.6 with no cancer, any advice? I am 60yo and otherwise in good health, thanks.

Grandpa’s prostate cancer spread to his hips and back, but they still call it prostate cancer. Isn’t it bone?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

In other words, they removed his prostate and now it spread to his bones. Why isn’t it called bone cancer instead of prostate cancer? Can anyone give me some details on this cancer he has? Thanks! And God Bless!

anthem health insurance?

Monday, September 6th, 2010

I have health insurance through my employer. (Anthem Keycare 30). Starting from this year, the insurance will offer a free annual physical checkup and gynecological exam (for guys, free prostate check). I want to take advantage of those two free checkups. However, I have never been to the hospital/clinic the four years I am in the States. Could anyone tell me where I should go for the checkups and how do I make sure it is really free and there’s no extra charge. Will the nurse/doctor tell you if something is not covered and you have to pay?

By the way, I am in winchester, va.

Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. While I was in China last year, I found that I had a benign ovarian cyst about 4cm big. If it doesn’t get bigger, then I don’t need to worry about it, according to the doctor. If it grows, then I have to get rid of it. Will the general gynecological checkup check my ovarian cyst to see if it grows?

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

I had a biopsy done on my prostate and the results came back positive for cancer with a gleason score of 6. Further studies showed that the cancer had not yet spread beyond the prostate. My urologist recommends that I have robotic surgery to remove the prostate. I am 76 years old in comparative good health.

Unnecessary prostate exam?

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

My husband has a family history of prostate cancer: his father and both grandfathers have had it and his father had cancer at 45. He is now 25 and has been having trouble with frequent urination. When he went for his routine physical, he discussed his family history and symptom with the doctor and was told a DRE and a blood test were unnecessary until he is 40. Of course he didn’t WANT these tests, but he is now a little afraid for his health. What age is normal for a guy to have his prostate checked, particularly with a family history of prostate cancer? Do you guys have it done when you get physicals? (Please post your age).
