I just had the treatment with "Lucentis" in my left eye that I have been going for treatments for over a year. About last Movamber 2006, my doctor started to use Lucentis. I had about 4 treatments and my doctor stopped the treatments and kept close watch on a six week period examination. He noticed an improvement up to my visit this week. I had to cancel my last periodic visit because of cutting the tips of two of my fingers with a hedge clipper. He found that there was indications of a reoccurance in my left eye and the start of AMD in my right eye. I also received a shot in my left eye yesterday. I did notice a grey spot in the center and thought it was from cutting grass and polin causing the problem. I have your 2007, White Pages. It is very helpfull to me. I wasn't sure if the Vision 2007 is a new issue or is it the same one I already have?
My Prostrate problem is secondary. I did get a thorough exam. including a CT. Everything checked out OK. I remember reading in one of your issues, if you start using Flowmax, you must use it all your life. Would Flowmax have any affect on my experiecing AMC in my right eye. Is there a substitute that I could take and ween off Flowmax? nova-139@juno.com
