  1. Yes those are behind the screen XO's.  I've owned more than one pair of those for these systems.  They do work in the home but you will need an out board EQ.  It doesn't have to be digital either......I was able to get by with Minimal slider EQ adjustments.   Mainly you will have to tone down some of the Higher frequencies.

    My Doctor told me at last visit there is serious debate among doctors whether PSA test should be given to anybody. He does not believe anyone over 70 should take the test. Sounds like my Dr does not trust Dr's. 

    This started with the government "preventative task force" statement several years ago.  Since then the American Cancer Society pulled the screening recommendations off the website and just says talk to you Doctor.  Spine less.

     

    Prostate cancer now is getting detected late and guys end up getting pissed.  I have most guys now turn down the option of stop screening after the age of 75.  The complications from Radiation and Radical Prostatectomy are so low now.  Yes there are a not so common exceptions. 

     

    The death rate of prostate cancer is underrated as I've seen my long standing patients with the slow battle end up in the hospital and "die from something else"  The death certificate won't have Prostate cancer on there.

     

    Regardless .......yes you have to have a discussion with your primary cancer physician and/or Urologist if you want.

     

    Folks are living into their 90's now.  If you have prostate cancer in your 60's or younger......you are taking a big gamble.  I am not giving advice here.  Just my perspective.

     

    BTW.  My Dad stopped at 70.  You would understand if you knew him.

    Dean, not sure what is next. I'm sure they will check out what they removed.

     

    Not fond of the catheter. My doc is head of urology at Erlanger. At least I didn't get sick with the procedure. Robotic assisted, ten staples. Not very comfortable, but I've been up walking around the house and drinking lots of water.

    Great to hear you are doing well and negative margins.

     

    There will be no imaging.  You will get a PSA at 3 months and you want it to be "undetectable" or less than 0.1.  If you PSA ever goes up from that, you will get imaging.
