covered or uncovered whats the big deal?

I am sitting in the Doctors waiting room right now, with my Lap Top. My appointment was at 11:00, but judging from my position on the sign in sheet, I should have brought a lunch. The office has a pretty strong WiFi signal.

Anyway, thanks for the good will. I have known this Doctor for a long time, I trust him. But I am not going to lie, I am just a tad scared.

What I need to do when I get the heck out of here is lay down with a nice understanding woman who can at least lie well enough to convince me every thing will be OK.

I hope she answers her phone. Originally Posted by Jackie S

A diagnosis is not a death sentence.

Good Luck!

I know your a doc hun, but I see a gynecologist who knows that I escort. Been seeing her for years, and she actually sees other woman in the hobby too. Great lady. She has seen this stuff, and she says it is very common for risky behavior especially in our hobby. Her stories and accounts always scare the hell out of me. I can't tell you how many men in the past I have turned away that had what looked like in those pictures I posted.. one guy said to me, he had always had those bumps and never thought it was a problem till I told him it was..now that is scary!!

Nevertheless.. some people are gonna risk their health.

TMFT you are so funny. Yea, I guess I get way too technical and all too serious.. I guess I do need to lighten up.

But damn this neck brace is killing me, and I am feeling a bit crabby these days..lol Originally Posted by Guilty Pleasures

Neck Brace... OMG... you know better than to try and DT DearHunter...

Not good news.

PSA was at 17, much higher than vist about a year ago. That coupled with the enlarged prostate leaves me with a agonizing decision.

The Doctor wants me to have a biopsy as soon as possible, and if any cancer shows, possibly starting treatment emmediatly as well.

So, what do I do. Risk a very invasive procedure that, if anything goes wrong, will leave me impotent, (or worse), or risk doing nothing and finding out later that I did indeed have cancer. Or perhaps wait 6 months and see if PSA and enlargement get better.

Big decision time.

I said what I was going to do. I called (Seductive) Sarah after my Doctors visit, and let her have her way with me. The view of the world is so much better with her sitting on my faceOf course, we also talked about my situation. She is a good listener, and my head in her lap is a great way to carry on a conversation. Great Girl.

I have the week end to think about it, and pray about it.

Is Sarah back to bbbj?

Deleted, never mind not going to bother with this topic is pointless

Do not, let anyone else do any "biopsy" or screwing around.
