I am a stupid, lazy procrastinator

I will try Hercules , but at this moment I am in big trouble not being able to pass my water , I went yesterday to hospital for my check up to see if the cancer has came back to my bladder , they put a tube in with a camera on it and look around in the bladder , and they watch it on a tv monitor , and they saw a lump but don't know what it is , and they sent me home , I was ok , but at 2 am this morning I started to block off , and now I have to go every 3 or for minutes , and only a small dribble comes out . so I am sitting here now in fear not knowing what is wrong . ,, kel ,,

Wishing you well Kel.

I know this is off topic.....but Kel, every thing is fixable.....probably you have a stricture or tight prostate and may only need stretching a bit. I had cancer and am now fitted with a internal prosthetic cuff taking place of the muscles at the bottom of my bladder (urinary control device UCD) and it works like a charm. Fear not, although a fair bit of plumbing was removed to remove the cancer and radiation to mop up and i'm alive and going strong. Go to hospital so the urologists can sort it. This is fixable and probably just old mans tightness. Fred.

Gee Kel, you've had a rough run. Hopefully things take a turn for the better ASAP.

This has gone from hilarious to downright heartbreaking. I hope you get better soon, Kel, because we really need your expertise.

Good work Kel, stick with the plan they map out, been there, done that, and it all works out in the end.
Fred.

I had a PSA blood test late last year and it showed an increase in my PSA levels. Further investigation showed I had the dreaded cancer in my prostate so out it came just before Melbourne Cup last year.

I am still trying to stop the leakage problem as a result but I just might have to have a serious talk with Fred lever re his arrangement.

I really don't want to take this leakage problem with me on the next couple of cruises.

Have you had a PSA blood test recently Kel? It might assist in solving any problems.

All the best Kel and GS.. take care and do what you need to do... I am sure things will work out in the end..

Hi Golds, Google the AMS 800 that's the system I have fitted. Note this is the last option urologists go for. They will want you to persist with Kegal type exercises for a year or so to tighten up and train the muscles around the bladder neck before considering a prosthetic. My particular problem was its hard for a 70 year old to build muscle back and I never really got there. Better if you can train those muscles, but the AMS 800 really does work and its better than peeing down your leg all the time or wearing nappies! I did briefly try the other options like catheter bags......not for me, too hard working under a car and you only have to tear off a bag full of cold pee as you wrestle a gearbox out to discard that option! Having a control device is no limitation to what you do, I have had other surgeries with full anesthetic and the system is T1.5 MRI rated so as long as your docs are aware that its there they can take any necessary action. Its just another problem to deal with and control. Fred.

last year I had 6 lots of b c g treatment after the took the cancer out of my bladder
now this started only as an check up visit last week , every thing was ok until they gave me a flexi scope so they could go in and have a look , now that is when the found the lump , that night I blocked off at 3 am so went to the hospital and they put a caffi bag in and sent me home and told me to wait until they call me back again next week or the one after .

bruce , they check my psa every time I go in ,
and I am 75 years old so I think they just keep ya going till ya die once ya get to my age .
