So, putting a rod in your prostate heals you?

I once worked for a urologist who used a similar system to treat enlarged prostates. A probe was inserted through the urethra that contained a microwave generator. The microwaves would “cook” the prostate. What happens to meat after it is cooked? It shrinks. Unfortunately a few days later the prostate would have an inflammatory response and swell up and I’d have to prescribe steroids for a few days to get rid of the swelling. After that they were fine.

Sounds like using ultrasound instead of microwaves is a much better idea.

Yeah, I was thinking about the biopsy. No F’ing way

[steve86]

Colonoscopy = No F’ing way

“probe was inserted through the urethra” = No F’ing way

I did the biopsy twice, it sounds like a old crossman 760 bb gun going off, 16 times, and I never get numb, I did it before HIFU and one year after. I wont do it again, if the numbers jump and the 4 k panel is bad, just remove the rest of ⁹ it, my doctor even agreed

I worked in health care...major hospital...for 25 years. I've seen every form of cancer known to medicine. Colon cancer is one of the very ugliest.

And I repeat...I'm the biggest coward on the planet!

Just sayin'...

I had was HIFU, I am 18 months cancer free. no side affects, everything still works.

HIFU ? What is that. The reason I have been diagnosed with low grade Prostate cancer and the Dr. and I are watching it right now.

I literally just got home from the Urlologist 90 minutes ago. Stuck his finger up me bum, he did, and I sang out a few verses of Moon River. But, the ‘ol prostate is all good, thank God.

[steve86]

I wouldn’t stick around for the really bad part.

Ultrasound is not radiation; it is not electromagnetic, not ionizing electromagnetic or non-ionizing electromagnetic, no matter how the sound is produced. It is sound waves, not electromagnetic waves or particles. I repeat, it is not radiation.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

You’re sure it was his finger? ;<)

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’ve been told old doctors still use the finger. Might be because he likes it!

[crosdaddy]

Well....now that you mention it, I do remember both hands on my shou... Yea, it was enough to make me stay straight, it was probably only 2 seconds but yeck, not my idea of fun. Hope my primary doesn’t make this an annual thing.

I have wondered if the cure to cancer might come not from chemicals or radiation, but from some sort of sound/vibratory therapy. My reasons for thinking this? Almost new-agey, in that “vibrations” constitute music and harmony (if done properly), and harmony implies order and healing. Blast away, I don’t care.

Been there, done that. Pretty damn unpleasant. The colonoscopy and prostate biopsy weren’t too bad (relatively speaking).
