azgreg Be careful with that stuff. My wife was on it and her idiot doc prescribed too high a dose. She wound up in the ER getting several IV bags of fluid to flush it out. It was literally breaking down the muscle in her body. Her 2nd opinion doc said she should have never even been on a statin.
The Complaint Thread
Am I the only one here that is not on drugs?
My PSA makes all yours look like a GPA for high school.
And it went down .8 the past year.
Walterjn Would not have a job is that was true. Although no Golden Flow test in some time. 
Cannabis, just trying to shut off my brain.
Sativa for the days, indica before bed.
I won't get paid??

jsippy73 What drug for prostate, don't know of any?
Tamsulosin/Flomax is a bladder relaxer. Finasteride (and some other "ide's") is supposed to shrink the prostate gland. The ultimate fix is to reduce the gland's size so that it's not impinging urine flow. Laser, clamps, etc. Google it.

I used to take the flomax many years ago. I had 40 radiation treatments and used it some for a while after that. Have PSA test every 3 months. Been holding pretty steady with a slight rise until now. Want to do a head to toe scan if up any next time. I know I will not do chemo or hormones. Know a couple that did and they said never again. Doing my own treatments as we speak. Unconventional with the medical field.

Dealing with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement) are two very different things. Most of the discussion here about these drugs was about BPH, not cancer. I do wish you the best on your path!

sdandrea1 Only thing mentioned after my PSA came back(1st time), and I got a fingering, was a discussion about a biopsy. Nothing about any meds at all.
Just something else they wanted to stick in me, and a somewhat dangerous procedure, imo.
Of course I said FO.
Last time they wanted to do the finger deal again, with no mention of meds again. No finger this time.
I'm alive, I can piss, and seldom get up at night to do it.
