Garczar's health update...................

You've given me a little ribbing from time to time on here, but it's never bothered me because I've noticed it doesn't bother you when others do the same to you. Now I know why.

Glad you beat it!
 
I've spent way to much time dealing with Dr's and staying in hospitals during all this I decided that there's to many people who act as if someone just pee'd in their shoes and they don't know what to do about it , so I decided to try and make the people I come in contact with smile even if they don't want to .
Life can be way to short to be a grumpy butt and when I do check out I want people to remember me as a good natured fella and anyone crying about it I'll come back and haunt ha ha

During my 7 week stay in the hospital for cancer treatments the nurses were amazed with my positive attitude and never giving up no matter how sick I was and I was extremely sick !
 
Gleason grading (mentioned by some previous posters in this thread) is a scoring system that informs urologists, potential oncologists, and the patient as to the relative aggressiveness of any suspected or detected prostate cancer cells.

It's an extremely important treatment-determinative metric to know about, and monitor.

The lowest Gleason score is 6, which is a low-grade cancer. A Gleason score of 7 is a medium-grade cancer, and a score of 8, 9, or 10 is a high-grade cancer. A lower-grade cancer grows more slowly and is less likely to spread than a high-grade cancer.

Arnaldo ~ It can't be said often enough, so I'll echo other posters comments about the role and value of early detection.

I had alot of worrisome time which led to stress and weight loss etc etc. I've become more positive since the medication and being able to talk about it to friends/family and so on. With the enlarged prostate I had a catheter installed back before X-mas and has being changed monthly since and I have a slight infection and going on antibiotics tomorrow. The doctor just called and said we'll take the catheter out again next week and try it again. He will be consulting with the radiologist afterwards to see where we go from there or do an operation. I'm keeping on keeping on and looking forward to warm spring days next week,getting my pontoon in the water and drinking beer on our dock.

Would expect no less from a cretin like you. I only took you off ignore to see what lame shit you would spew. Least you're consistent. Props for that.

You didn't think that was funny? At least the "real you" came back with a tough guy response so you must be getting better.
Stay Centered and don't go off the Edge. LMAO!
You can put me back on ignore, I won't be disappointed or hurt.

LMAO sadly is sometimes a lame plea that translates to Let Me Answer Obnoxiously

Arnaldo ~ Compassion and Empathy for other people are twin elements of character which for a few folks only become humanely reflexive after a frightening diagnosis confronts them with their own mortality.

It was an inside poke at him when I said "Stay Centered and don't go off the Edge. LMAO!" There are two specific words in that sentence that always set him and a number of others off on here that gets them out of control. It's like an electrical shock to their brain. I'm sure he got it. You didn't.

Gar is a big boy and a tough persona on the forum who can dish it out and take it. If it was me, I wouldn't expect anything differently. Regardless of the online banter, it's always bad when someone comes down with cancer. Glad that he recovered.

Thanks! Very interesting read and I believe I'm in good hands with the urologist and will be seeing the radiologist soon. Prior to going on the medication I was in pain even sitting on a soft leather couch and now can sit on a rock if need be and feeling alot better.

I only told a few people on here what was going on but it looks like i'm gonna live so here's the down-n-dirty: In '21 i was diagnosed with VERY early S1 prostate cancer. While trying to decide how to treat it i was diagnosed with VERY early stages of 'diffuse large B-cell follicular lymphoma' a nasty form of NHL. Well, i had surgery for the prostate and 6rds of chemo for the lympho. I kicked both their fkng asses and so far so good. I will sign off with this little gem: If ANYONE on here doesn't like the tenor of my posts/threads feel free to kiss my cancer-beating ass and put me on Ignore. I got pool to play so later...............................
