Phil, glad to here you got some relief if even temporary. Naturally you are in our thoughts and prayers. I like Mayo, had a problem with my shoulder years back and after numerous other DR"S(?) sid nothing wrong doctor in Mayo diagnosed it in about 10 seconds, although by law he still had to run tests to verify. Took a bone off the end of my ccollar bone with a 1" spur. End of problem.
Good luck and bless

Hang in there, pod-nuh,,, The first 6 months of 2009 may have been crappy for you but the next 6 months are gonna be good. Just a couple of hurdles to jump and you will be back on the Harley. 
Phil, give me your honest opinion, what would you compare your prostate biopsy to. For those that have never had one you just won't get it.
as you said those that haven't been there just won't get it.
my opinion:
How about a cucumber with 8 needles it.....????

12 needles, Get well soon Phil.
One positive out of 12
One positive out of twelve biopsy samples isn't bad, glad to learn you caught it early. That gland was good to us when we were young and stout, but it only houses potential problems (very treatable Cancer if caught early) later in life. With a low PSA and only one sample showing positive, that's really encouraging.
Surgically removing the prostrate seems to be a better option than treating it chemically or going with radiation therapy. You just don't need the thing anymore, so out it goes!
I've had the twelve biopsy samples taken, it's not a fun thing, but you get over it.
Onward to the treatment!
Best,
TomK

Well................I wasn't going to be so descriptive!!!!:eek::eek:
Yes...it hurt but nothing like the shot in the ear!!!!!!!!!!
Just for what it's worth..........they only use the radiation seeds in men that are older and not really able to have the operation. Once the seeds are planted and if they DO NOT work................you are INOPERATABLE!!!! Can't cut you open with the radiation in there.
Best thing to do is STAY YOUNG!!!!!!!!!
Getting old is a ***** but certainly better than the alternative!!!!

Ain't that the truth.
I just got around to reading the newest issue of Super Chevy and Phil's raiding is legendary with them. Seems as though Doug Marion caught him raiding some rare 62 parts from Ohio many years ago while restoring the Ault & James car.
What say you now Phil??? First ohio now Texas. What's next? Get well soon.
