ptsd Prostate Cancer Re-Examination

[texal1]

I HAD A RE-EXAMINATION TO CHECK ON MY PROSTATE CANCER IN OCTOBER '09. HAD SEED IMPLANTS IN FEB'08. HAD BEEN MONITORING PSA RESULTS FROM 17.0 JUST AFTER INPLANTS TO OCT.'09 AT .375. VA SENT A LETTER PROPOSING TO LOWER MY TEMPORIAL 100% TO 60% FOR LEAKAGE PROBLEMS, BRINGING ME TO 80% TOTAL. PC-60%/ PTSD-50%/ HEARING-10%/ SMC. I SENT A NOD BECAUSE OF THE C&P EXAMINATION WAS NOT FULL AND COMPLETE. THEY USED BLOOD WORK FROM 6 MONTHS PREVIOUS TO MY EXAMINE. I ALSO WAS ON 100% FROM 2004 OVER FIVE YEARS. ALSO OVER AGE 55. LATER, IN JANUARY 2010, I WAS HOSPITALIZED IN THE VA WITH KIDNEY PROBLEMS AND THE PSA WAS TAKEN AND WAS .250. MY QUESTION IS, CAN THE C&P USE OLD (6 MONTHS) BLOOD WORK? THE PHYSICAL WAS ACTUALLY PUSHING ON MY STOMACH AREA, ASKED IF MY BACK HURT, AND FELT MY ANKLES. A WOMAN PREFORMED THE PHYSICAL, NO ATTENDANT PRESENT, NO FINGER WAVE OR CHECKING ON PRIVATE PARTS. THE ONLY ACTUAL TEST WAS THE PSA OF .375. WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE MY CHANCES OF WINNING THE NOD? ALSO, OF GETTING A FULL & COMPLETE PHYSICAL, OR WAS "THAT" THE FULL & COMPLETE EXAMINE? SINCE MY PSA LEVELS ARE STILL DROPPING, IS THIS CONSIDERED MAXIMUN RECOVERY?

STILL HAVEN'T A CLEAR ANSWER TO MY QUESTION IF MY RE-EXAMINATION WAS ANYWHERE CLOSE TO FULL AND COMPLETE FOR FOLLOW-UP TO PROSTATE CANCER.

HELLO EVERYONE. CALLED MY REP YESTERDAY, FRIDAY OCT. 22, 2010, TO ASK ABOUT MY VARO HEARING WE HAD SUBMITTED LAST YEAR IN NOV. 2009 AND NO RESPONSE YET. HE WENT UPSTAIRS TO THE PEOPLE WHO HOLD THE HEARING AND ASK ABOUT IT. THEY SCREWED UP AND THAT'S THEIR ANSWER. MY FOLDER HAS BEEN PULLED AND WILL BE CONTACTED SHORTLY ABOUT THE HEARING ACCORDING TO MY REP. PROPOSING TO LOWER MY 100% RATING TO 80% IS QUITE A BIT OF MONEY OVER A YEAR'S TIME. DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT THIS THING GOING ON FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE VA ASKING FOR ALL THE MONEY BACK. WANTED SOME RELIEF, AND FINALLY GET AN ANSWER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. ASKED ABOUT FILING FOR IU AND REP SUGGESTED TO FILL OUT FORM AND PROBABLY SUBMIT IT DURING THE HEARING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SUBMITTING THE IU WILL BE A SIGN OF DEFEAT, BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE ON THE PROPOSED REDUCTION, OR IT IS A SMART MOVE TO ENTER IT AT MY HEARING SO IT WILL BE GETTING STARTED? I DIDN'T THINK I COULD APPLY FOR IU AS LONG AS I WAS 100% ALREADY. I ALSO HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR SSDI OVER 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. PROSTATE RESIDUALS 60%, IF LOWERED, PTSD 50%, TITINTUS 10% WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY CHANCES FOR APPROVAL OF IU? ALSO HAD 2 KNEE REPLACEMENTS NOT SC. THANKS.
