A buddy that dates a nurse from a dana farber cancer center told me about that stuff. she had mentioned it to him so we both have been taking it. im having great results ! a mmmuch stronger stream and emptying is ffffar easyer/ more complete. the taste sure is tough to swallow but so far im sold 100% Ive been on flowmax/ tamsalosin for about four years now and it does help, I'm on Earleda ( stops the testosterone) going to the prostate and get an injection every 3 months. Glad it's all covered ($4500) as well as any other stuff I get. They took me off the Flowmax awhile ago. All the friggin side effects I'm going thru sheesh. I'm getting a bit of a bounce in my step the past few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a bit of a bounce in my step the past few days thats great. cancer drugs are insanely priced. my dad went twenty years after his first diag. eventually his psa shot up though and his doc put him on a drug that was only approved in the US a few years ago. i cant recall its name but it dropped his PSA level and kept it low. 4 big horse pills he called them. yeahhhhhhh this tamsalosin shit comes with side effects of its own and i want to stop taking it but when i skip it i pay the price... with this nasty tasting oil working nowadays im hoping to drop it.

The testosterone pill gave me hot flashes and a skin rash and radiation gave me the shits but finally that's getting better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I would give it a 3 month trial and really didn't expect too much but I just reordered after the 3 months of making a big difference. Was ordering another 3 month supply and when I went to check out, the offer for more bottles at a lower price came up, last chance etc... I usually hate those offers but couldn't pass up the $29 per bottle offer and bought 6 more at that price. So now I will have a 9 month supply....so if you reorder, I am sure you will also get that offer at checkout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
