That's my boy Jack Wesolowski, a 68-year old, mentally-ill ,
retired SSD worker, foul-mouthed bigot, racist, liar, spammer and
troll who has been spamming the UseNet as Gary Sokolisch since
January of 2011.

To find some more dolts who will dig it!

We know a white jerk named Jack

He calls himself "brother"
Wears clothes from his mother(*)
The truth is he's just a hack

We see his rantings as racist bile
His words typically ugly and vile
The master of hate
Thank God he won't mate
Let us leave him alone for awhile

Amber Travsky and Gary Sokolisch are just two of the numerous nyms used
by psychopath Jack Wesolowski (aka Way Back Jack) when trolling and
spamming the UseNet in recent years. You did see the list, right? Just
go to www.groups.google.com and do a search for posts by Amber Travsky.
Then read a few of the threads and pay attention to the headers. You
will often see many of the nyms on the list in the same thread. That's
psychopath Jack Wesolowski cominmg back using different nyms. Does that
answer your question?

> And why is this being posted to RBS?

For the same reason that psychopath Jack Wesolowski, posting as Gary
Sokolisch, has been spamming newsgroups with it for the past two years.

Amber Travsky is a real name of a real person. Any post of hers that is
genuine should be read with respect and adoration. Of course, if some
scofflaw is using her name falsely, then that fact should be made known.
Those who steal names which are not their own are the scum of the earth.

It would never occur to me to figure out any of this shit on my own. I like
to waste my time by contemplating my navel, not by following some asinine
threads on UseNet.

My Greatness is well known to all the cycling groups on Usenet. I am also
Holy and a Great Saint. I was formerly known as Saint Edward the Great and
had my own Order known far and wide as the Order of the Perpetual Sorrows.
I'm afraid you and your entourage can never enter my Order since you post
messages reeking of piss and shit. As you should know, cleanliness is next
to Godliness!

I am NOT asking the Honorable Mr.Gary Sokolisch why he is using a false
name; I am asking you why you are using a false name. Is this rocket
science - or what?

The only shit-for brains-moron here is you. The Honorable Mr. Gary Sokolisch
has NOT been spamming RBS. Only you are stupid enough to do that. Also you
have yet to explain what the name Amber Travsky is doing on your asinine
posts which so far have been full of nothing but piss, shit and fuck.

Hi Ed!

How about an update on your velomobile? There is no one else on this

Communism was a scam, supported by the financiers of Wall Street and the
City of London. And of course the Bolsheviks were mostly Jews, which is
why they had no compunction in murdering tens of millions of Orthodox
Christians in the Soviet Union (the Talmud explains that this is
acceptable). Note that many churches were destroyed under Lenin and
Stalin (aka The Little Jew), but not a single synagogue.

As for the true enemy of the US in the Middle East, it is not Iraq or
Iran, but another country that starts with "I". However, the innocent
in Iraq, Yemem, Libya, Syria, Iran, etc. are punished since the US
government is comprised mostly of blackmailed and/or bribed traitors
(the two often go together, as prostitutes, primarily boys, are supplied
while the politician is secretly filmed.

Romney versus Obama was really Zionists versus international bankers,
since the bankers responsible for the creation of Israel no longer find
it useful but rather a hindrance in controlling Middle Eastern
extractable hydrocarbons.

I want to know what the name Amber Travsky was doing on your post? Her name
was not used falsely by anyone as far as I can tell and her message was
nothing objectionable. Give me her message in full under her name that you
think was used falsely. I am not interested in lists!

Mr. Vandeman is indefatigable. He is a true believer in his cause. I am more
like you. I don’t believe in much of anything and the world is going to hell
in a hand basket no matter what we do or don't do. Sheer population
pressure is going to destroy everything that we value sooner or later.

So you wasted several thousand dollars on a velomobile that you never used.
Admit it - you made a colossal mistake!

As for the poor lost cat, I take in a stray cat every year. I now have over
a dozen. I fatten them up and they all thank me by ignoring the hell out of
me. That is why I like cats. They are like zebras - wild and untamable.

Say Ed ... your assert that I'm ornery??? This from one of the most ornery persons on planet Earth, what we have here is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. For someone who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, you are not very well informed about the disease. As concerns my health status, I'm still alive, but feel under no obligation to satisfy your curiosity with an update. Now, when I was diagnosed, I specifically told you that my disease was staged clinical stage 4 which is terminal (read incurable). I fail to comprehend what you don't understand about that. Then again, you never have been a good listener and are seldom willing to accept anything stated at face value. You've not seen any posts from me for a long time simply because I've better things to do with my time than to waste time on someone who has proven himself to be a lost cause.

What is there to understand. Just because your prostate cancer was diagnosed
as terminal does not mean you can’t live another 20 years. Life itself is
terminal, but many of us manage to live a long time in spite of that
prognosis.

Time spent on Usenet is a waste regardless of whom you are addressing unless
all the asshole screwballs can be filtered out. That means a monitor
(editor) and one who is smarter than your average poster. No one in their
right mind would ever take on the task of monitoring a fucked up newsgroup
... and they are all fucked up – no exceptions!

Tom Sherman has decided to look out for his career rather than try to get in
any last words on Usenet. That is the smart thing for him to do. Usenet is
for folks like myself who do not give a damn about careers ... or much of
anything else either for that matter.

Tibetan Monkey killed the group (RBS) although it was already half dead. The
few mountain bikers were here strictly for Mr. Vandeman who humored them by
pretending they had some intelligence. I simply lambasted them for the fools
that they were. Good riddance to them!

In fact, good riddance to everyone – including myself!

What is there to understand? Well, for one I had a PSA of 385.4 and a Gleason Score of 8. For the purpose of prognosis, a PSA over 4 is reason for alarm and a Gleason Score above 8 is indicative of an aggressive form of cancer. These two combined figures are indicators that my "expiration date" was much sooner than 20 years. The point that I was making though was in reference to your wondering if I had "licked" my prostate cancer. With the current state of medical technology, my advance disease is not curable. That is what you seemed not to comprehend. Now that I have spelled things out for you, I trust that you now understand..

I presume you include yourself since you have gone on record to state that you are the biggest asshole on Usenet. To be perfectly honest, your pugnacious combativeness, unsubstantiated repetitious assertions, and especially your unyielding, obnoxious false sense of infallibility became so exasperating that I eventually had to refrain from replying to you. I needed to curtail any and all cyber-communications. I needed a time out. Life is just to short to waste much of it on someone so hell bent on being the number one jackass on Usenet.

42 fractions of radiation, triple androgen deprivation (hormone) therapy, dietary changes, supplementation, etc. I've not had a measurable PSA for more than two years now. Assuming that you are sincere, then thanks for being delighted.

You have “licked” your prostate cancer for so long as you continue to live.
The fact is that being diagnosed with cancer is no longer a death sentence.
Your PSA was indeed high and your Gleason Score was also higher then
average - average being about 6. What you need to understand is that not
everyone who comes into this world manages to reach our ages. Life, like
many cancers, is not “curable” either. We are all ... yes, everyone of us,
doomed (even Tom Sherman). So what else is new?

After Ed Gin we were flopping around like a fish out of water. All Tibetan
Monkey did was administer the coup de grace. That is what idiocy always
does. At least everyone, including you, now knows what a dead newsgroup
looks like. RBS – RIP!

And why the hell wouldn’t I want you to be well? You are one of the few
persons in this world that I feel I halfway know. Same goes for Tom Sherman.
Just because we disagree on most everything doesn’t mean shit. I have always
enjoy our discussions and debates. Both you and Tom Sherman are on my level
of intelligence, The three of us are a rare breed on Usenet!

As you may know I had the external beam radiation and the seed implants
treatments some 10 years ago. So far, the only really bad effect of that has
been a single episode of bleeding from the bladder due to radiation
cystitis. My PSA also remains unmeasurable for what that is worth. The fact
is there are still no good treatments for prostate cancer that don’t leave
you with adverse side effects.

How is that androgen deprivation therapy working out for you I wonder? I
had a friend who was on that for many years and it never seemed to bother
him in the least. I had just one shot prior to my radiation treatments and
it just about drove me crazy. I had almost continuous hot flashes night and
day for 4 months. I knew I would never get used to it, but many of the guys
at the VA were so scared of cancer that they wanted to continue to get those
shots even after their initial treatments.

By the way, those shots are expensive. I think you could probably get them
at the VA for not much cost.

Best,

I don't want to be bothered with the VA. Too much bureaucracy and inconvenient location/travel. My medicare and medicare supplement completely cover costs of all medical treatments and yes they are ALL quite expensive,

My cancer is not organ (prostate) confined and metastatic and is considered high-risk with poor prognosis. The first line of defense for advanced, metastatic prostate cancer is systemic treatment in the form of androgen ablation, or what is commonly referred to as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Hormonal manipulation is the mainstream medicine standard of care and is essential in the management of advanced prostate cancer. Lupron (leuprolide acetate) is a Luteinizing-Hormone-Releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist (substance that initiates a physiological response when combined with a receptor) that shuts down testosterone production. Bicalutamide (Casodex) is an anti-androgen that inhibits testosterone from binding to prostate cancer cell’s androgen receptors. Adrenal glands produce a testosterone precursor (androstenedione) that is metabolized in the prostate into testosterone. When testosterone comes into contact with 5AR enzymes in the cancer cell nucleus, testosterone is converted into the metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a far more powerful stimulant of cancer cell growth (5 times more potent). Dutasteride (Avodart) inhibits Type I and Type II 5Alpha Reductase (5AR) enzymes. By personal preference, and with cooperation of my doctors, for two years, I was on a triple androgen blockade (ADT3) consisting of Lupron, bicalutamide (Casodex), and Avodart. ADT is both therapeutic and of critical prognostic importance with proper monitoring of PSA and testosterone levels. Duration of response to hormone therapy is highly variable. ADT initially causes most, but NEVER all of the prostate cancer cells to undergo genetically programmed cell death (apoptosis). Some prostate cancer cells are resistant or adapt to hormone therapy and continue to survive. Hormone-refractory (androgen-independent) prostate cancer cells are totally resistant to hormone therapy and there is currently no significantly effective treatment strategy for hormone-refractory, metastatic prostate cancer. Despite encouraging initial hormone therapy response rates, 80-90% of patients eventually develop progressive androgen-independent prostate cancer, for which there is currently no curative therapy. When cancer cells become resistant to hormone therapy, salvage chemotherapy is employed with some additional prolongation in duration of survival (10% survival rate after 30 months). The encouraging news is that recently approved drugs and promising new drugs on the horizon, in the clinical trial pipeline, hold out hope for long-term survival for those with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Ed, you were given a Lupron injection prior to radiation to kill of as many cancer cells as possible and reduce prostate volume to improve radiation treatment targeting. Once a Lupron injection is given, they are generally given continuously. That is standard of care. To answer your specific question regarding Lupon injections, ADT does have its downside. Treatment induced menopausal side effects include anemia, hair loss, dry eyes, dry skin, hot flashes, erectile dysfunction, abdominal fat deposit, weight gain, breast pain and/or enlargement, decreased size of testes and penis, emotional changes (anxiety, depression, and mood swings), fatigue, loss of libido, sleep disturbance, myalgia (muscle pain), nausea, increased urinary frequency, discomfort or obstruction, and changes in bowel function, including diarrhea and rectal incontinence. More serious side effects include peripheral edema (swelling of hands, feet, ankles, and lower legs), decreased muscle mass, loss of bone mass (osteopenia/osteoporosis), elevated serum glucose, Type-II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke), elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, decreased HDL cholesterol, memory impairment, cognitive decline, abnormal liver function, increased risk of SREs (skeletal-related events … pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, and severe joint and bone pain), and excess serum cortisol. Some anti-aging experts refer to cortisol as the “death hormone” due to multiple degenerative effects that cortisol produces including immune dysfunction, brain cell injury, and arterial wall damage. As daunting as the side effects are, I had only two alternatives. I could allow the disease to rapidly progress unabated, or I could opt for ADT to survive longer with the distinct possibility of a compromised quality of life. Neither are appealing alternatives, but I opted for ADT. Unfortunately, that is an option that I realized would most likely reduce me to a shade of my former self.

To be more specific, I have experienced dry skin, hot flashes, depression, and decreased muscle mass. I have just deliberately opted to begin intermittent androgen deprivation therapy well aware that it is no standard of care. I determined to do so because the American Society of Clinical Oncologists recently issued a report specifying that intermittent ADT is almost as effective as continuous ADT but without its associated side effects. With some degree of apprehension, I decided to remove my safety net. Although unconfirmed in clinical trials, it is my conjecture that with intermittent ADT, tumor cells are forced into normal pathways due to testosterone rebound with the subsequent probability of an increased duration of treatment efficacy and delay in progression to castrate resistant (hormone refractory) disease. When my PSA begins to rise again, androgen dependent tumor cells should be responsive to the next cycle of hormone therapy. In the interim, I continue to take dutasteride (Avodart) as maintenance therapy to inhibit conversion of testosterone into the more dangerous metabolite dihydrotestosterone.

Well, that is far more than you probably expected to hear back in the way of a response, however since you are being reasonable (you are capable when you want to be), I took the time to be very thorough in my reply.

Yes, if you have got the cost covered then you are doing it right. The VA is

Yes, I am sure I just had the Lupron shot. It was suppose to be good for 3
months, but it lasted 4 months in my case. The hot flashes were the worst
side effect for me. Frankly, I would not want to be on that treatment for
long. The business about the erectile dysfunction is funny since the Lupron
shot also completely takes away libido. Sex apparently is just chemistry. It
is not exclusively in the mind as I once thought.

If I were in your shoes the hardest thing for me to overcome would be
depression. I tend to dwell on every unpleasantness that comes down the
pike. I do not take ill health well. I have always thought that a modicum of
good health is priceless for which we should be ever thankful. I am always
amazed at what some folks are able to put up with. I can see now that you do
not have it easy at all. Everyone I have ever known who had prostate cancer
apparently caught it early enough so as to avoid your extreme treatments.

You are most likely on the cutting edge of treatment. If knowledge alone
could save you, you would be saved. But one also needs some luck. All your
efforts deserve some of that too.

I could follow your explanation of all the complications and treatments as
long as I read slowly. On the other hand, I never wanted to be a doctor. I
learned that when I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy for 4 years. I
mostly can�t bear to even think much about my own ailments. I think you are
one tough guy to be able to cope as well as you are. Maybe cycling is good
for us after all if it makes us tough when we need to be.

I feel that it is my life and I have an active role to play in my health care. It is my own best interest to learn as much as I can and assume some responsibility in the treatment of my disease. I view my doctors as practitioners with whom I have formed an alliance in a joint effort of treatment and care. I am not one of those who leaves all the decision up to my doctors. I think it is unwise to do. My doctors have been very positive concerning how I have managed matters.

Agreed about testosterone. Hormonal manipulation is fraught with problems. Older men who opt for testosterone are taking a risk particularly be fueling the growth of undiagnosed prostate cancer.

We are biologically wired and the mind does play a role, but without the proper level of hormone, the mind matters not in the least. It is like a weapon devoid of ammunition.

I wish that I was fortunate enough to have caught it early on, but it is in my bone. My last computed tomography (CT) and scintigraphy (nuclear medicine bone imaging), commonly referred to as a bone scan indicate that where the sclerotic lesions exist they are less extensive and less intense, so that is good at least.

Because of pain in my lower back and pelvis, I didn't ride at all last year. I think the problem is scar tissue from radiation. I will give it a go again this year now that I am feeling a somewhat better, but with testosterone at castrate levels, my performance will never again be the same and recovery between efforts slower. Consequently, I have no intention of logging mega-miles and competing with those half my age. Sadly, those days are behind me now. As much as I enjoyed mixing ti up with the younger set, riding hard, far, and fast, in a way it is a relief not to be burdened by the compulsion to do so anymore.

It would never occur to me to try to keep up with those younger than myself.
Unlike you, I gave up on riding hard and fast decades ago. If riding an
upright causes much back pain, I would recommend a recumbent bicycle. You
will be slower over all, but you will be more comfortable although you may
have to tweak the seat a bit. The best thing about cycling is what it does
for the mind, not the body.

I notice in my walks around town that I am not as steady on my feet as I
used to be. If and when I ever get unsteady on my 2 wheel recumbents, I will
resort to my 3 wheel recumbents. The one thing I never want to do at my age
is take a fall. Everything changes over time ... and so do we!

The back an pelvic paid are due I believe to scar tissue in soft tissue from radiation, not from riding on an upright and this is problematic on either riding platform. As you will recall I have an have ridden both. Agreed about cycling and the mind.

There is no comparison between “riding platforms”. I have had a low back
problem like forever (and later an upper back problem) which prevented me
from riding an upright, but recumbents work great no matter where your back
problem is located. I don’t recall your recumbent (Lightning P-38 ?), but I
would give it a try and see how it works for you. However, I do think most
back problems are caused by osteoarthritis (hard tissue, not soft tissue),
so indeed that may be different than damage caused by radiation.

How nice we have this newsgroup all to ourselves but others are welcome to
contribute if they can stand the heat. Newsgroups are not for sissies.
