I started a post back in the summer about me having some Prostate problems. Some of you know how bad I have been feeling in the past 6 months. Go to the Dr. take meds start to feel better, meds run out, start to feel bad again etc!



I finally went to a specialist and I'm currently awaiting on blood results and I am scheduled to have a CT scan on Jan 7th for a Pelvic Mass. (I'm having severe pain in my hips)



I have all the text book symptoms of prostate issues but the Dr said it was not enlarged, thats why I'm going for the scan to see whats going on.



I didnt race in september as I was feeling bad, and I was hurting when I walked, well now I'm on all kinds of meds and feeling better again but scared of what is the cause of all this.

Did they do a PSA test? If not have one done! Thats the first clue of a prostrate problem. Good luck. Chuck in NH (Prostrate survivor)

Kevin, sure hope your worries are unfounded.  Good luck and we will be praying for you.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

I am hoping for the best outcome Kevin.  Glad to hear the scan is 1/7, thought it was later.  Is this the first time seeing a specialist?  If so he should be able to get to the problem pretty fast.

Keep a positive attitude. Watch funny movies. Go to a comedy club. Heal yourself with laughter. Do your best to avoid any negative thoughts, particularly those about yourself. The mind has amazing power. It is the reason placebos work. Try to put the placebo into effect without having to take the placebo.

I will be praying for you as well. I know if we live long enough all of us could have prostate problems, my father and my uncle both had trouble.  As Charlie said keep you spirits up and don't think about it too much.

Kevin, we are literally knee-deep in snow right now out here in Winchester, VA, but I will be sure to let our church know about your situation and we will add you to our prayer list. We should have our next service on Wednesday evening. Tomorrow doesn't look good at all because of the road conditions...

About 80-90% of the fellas that I know that have dealt with prostate cancer have come out on top.
