I'm about 6 months ahead of you and had much the same symptoms. My

probably oversimplified understanding is that cancer doesn't hurt until its

final stages. I've been treated with photons rather than protons and

unfortunately went through a period of extreme pain, which I hope you can

avoid. Whether the pain was from the radiation treatment or from a botched

TUMT, I guess I'll never know, but thank God it has subsided. I was on Cipro

and two other antibiotics. And I'm sure I had BPH for years before I was

diagnosed last spring. Hang in there, , and the best wishes for your

treatment. The human body's ability to heal itself is pretty remarkable.

I have a Q. Iwas diagnosed with PCa in Sep 09, GI

3+3=6, and PSA of 1.2. They found a small nodule on my left side of the

prostate during a colonoscopy. I will be receiving proton treatement next

month I am having some slight irritation in the tip of my penis and some

discomfort in my groin. Slight burning or warm feeling when

urinating. Nothing painful, but irritating, and aggravated by sitting

down. Ive had these symptoms even prior to my diagnosis. It lasts for 1

week or so then tapers off. My stream varies from weak to normal.

Yesterday, it was normal. I havent been able to correlate it with any food or

activity other than maybe driving and sitting. Also, my urine tested slightly

positive for leukocytes uisng a home strip this past Friday. My semen

flow has tapered off a bit. However, my PC provider thinks it might be

prostatitis and has precribed ciproflaxin. I am guessing its

prostatitis or BPH. Anyone out there have the same symptoms? Or could

this be a symptom of cancer?

My understanding of this is the same as Tom's. Prostate cancer

rarely causes pain in the prostate or penis, and would do so even

more rarely in the extremely early stage that you seem to be in.

It would be much more common to experience pain in the big bones,

especially the back, and then only when the PSA is in the

hundreds. There are some rare forms of prostate cancer that

don't produce large amounts of PSA, but all the people I've known

who had pain traceable to PCa had PSA values in the hundreds.

I knew one man who had a PSA of 500 but still had no pain at all.

I think your doctor is probably right in suspecting prostatitis

or a urinary tract infection. The antibiotic you're taking may

cure it.

If it does not cure it, that doesn't mean that the diagnosis is

wrong. Many prostate infections do not respond much to

antibiotics. It could be that the blood flow in the area is

insufficient to bring enough antibiotic to bear on the infection,

and it's also conceivable that the infection is viral rather than

bacterial, or that it's an antibiotic resistant bacteria.

I don't know anything about this, but I'm curious about what the

radiation will do if there's a prostate infection. Maybe it will

kill the infection, though it may temporarily make the irritation

worse since radiation, like bacterial infection, causes

inflammation of the prostate. Or maybe it won't. I suggest you

ask the rad onc the next time you see him about that and let us

know what he says.

Good luck with your treatment.

My husband had a radical perineal prostatectomy 10 days ago. Got a hemotoma at the incision site that was drained this past monday after a return visit because he was in so much pain. THis releaved much of the pressure and pain, but caused a constant steady dripping from the site of fluid mixed with blood. Then he went in the next day (Tuesday) and had the catheter removed. It seemed like it was fine, but when he got home, the pressure was so great on his bladder, that when he went into pee for the first time on his own, it all came out the incision site. So back to the dr.'s office, and the catheter put back in...now for at least a month! AHG!We are worried that infection could be a

problem...Although the catheter bag is clear most of the time (thinking the red we see may be from the pomegranite juice he is drinking?)...but concerned what we should now do. His wound site is SOOO sore, but has finally stopped leaking. One side looks healed, but where the drain once was, the tissue is thick and not as healed. Still swollen. It looks like his swelling is going down all over...so that is good. However, he is still worried about bowels, urine infection into the body etc.He had a severe bowel spasm that had him having diarreha the day before the catheter was taken out, and also sneezed 2 times really hard that night before too. We are wondering IF this could have caused the urethra to tear from the healing site...as his urine was clear before this happened. However, like I said, when he did have red in the bag the night and morning before he had the catheter removed...it had a lot of red in it. We just assumed it was the

PMFJI --

It sounds like your husband is having a rough time.

I had nasty bladder spasms for the whole 3 weeks that my catheter was in. I

sympathize with your husband. The only thing that helped the spasms was opium +

belladonna suppositories.

If his bladder " filled up " when the catheter was removed, he _needs_ that

catheter! Urethral strictures are a known side-effect of prostatectomy, and

they are life-threatening if not caught early. My surgeon called them " rare " ,

but they occurred in several men in my local PCa support group. The catheter is

a bitch, but it's better than risking a burst bladder.

There's a small inflated ball, at the bladder end of the catheter. Its purpose

is to keep the catheter in. It _may_ be irritating his bladder, and causing a

little bleeding. He may also have been hurt -- a little bit -- when the

catheter was re-inserted. The sewn-together joint between urethra and bladder

is delicate, and a small amount of blood can color a whole lot of urine.

My _layman's_ advice would be something like this:

.. . . If his urine is getting less pink and more yellow (day by day), he's

probably healing.

.. . . If it's not, something funny (infection? un-healed sutures?) is probably

going on.

Keep the end of the catheter and his penis clean, and use some K-Y jelly as

lubricant if the penis hurts where the catheter comes out.

Don't feed him any beets -- they _will_ turn his urine red!<g>

Thanks guys I was hopping you had a solution or two for me. I am ok. I will try some cialis and viagra on top of just to see if it works and thanks I will not let it consume my fun. When I was having an orgasm before the lupron, I was shooting out body fluids from the where the prostrate was. I was kind of hoping to get rid of some those PCa cells. Am eating a lot of curry with black pepper here. All the best guys.

I fear that a spam bot has found 's computer and taken it

over.

, I recommend running a complete virus check on your

system.

Thanks for letting us know Harriet and thanks for your wishes.

I'm sorry to hear your news, in some ways I say that the tragedy is the arrival of the metastatic cancer, death brings both loss and peace, this is reall mix of emotions.

I wish you all the best for the future, we are thinking of you and all those in a similar position

Sadly, I will be withdrawing from this group, as my beloved husband passed away on June 9, having lost his 21/2 year battle with metastatic prostate cancer. Please keep fighting. I wish you the very best., HARRIET T.
