Who cares if the numbers are off by 25% or more! This should be the pot of gold an... 2 Feb 2006 20:48

He's the one who did the biopsy, discussed (briefly) the results with me, and did a follow-up cystoscopy (bladder is ok). But he'd somehow str... 4 Feb 2006 08:09

I know that the same result will produce different outcomes in different subjects. I see the doc on Friday and I'd like to have a few educated questions for him. Final Diagnosis: A) Right pelvic lymph nodes, excision: One lymph... 2 Feb 2006 22:52

Dr. Peter Scardino's Prostate Book I usually read our list but haven't contributed anything recently. Got a copy of this book, which was published in 2005, at my local library. After just reading a few chapters, I feel it would be worthwhile reading along with Dr. Welsh's book. It should be useful to any newbies out there. Dr. Scardino lists two... 19 Jan 2006 11:20 |
