Prostate Transplant?

I wonder if this will be possible someday?

So I can "COME AGAIN" just like the song said! I'm right behind paul on that list of his. Unlike some here, I really really miss "Delivering the Goods!"

Thanks for the laughs, guys! And PianoMan, I showed your post to my wife and she could not stop laughing. On second thought, maybe that wasn't a good idea. Now she'll be wondering the next time I climax!

And by the way, I think it's absolutely fantastic that we have a sense of humor about this aspect of PC. Better to laugh than sulk.

Jeez, my prostate has given me enough trouble.  Why would I want another one?

JCL's wife knows ....... men can't fake orgasms! I won't give away a woman's secret. There's a sacred oath we take to never, ever give away all our secrets! Just realize.... WE KNOW :>)

Cute post PianoMan. I love the light hearted moments in here.

And besides, I'm so used to peeing like a twelve year old again I don't think I could ever go back to standing at a urinal and waiting...waiting...waiting

And Tony, I ran a 5K road race this past weekend and wore a shirt I had madeup up that said on the back, "I'm Running For Men With Prostate Cancer."  I received a lot of comments and of course the "oh, that's not the bad cancer, is it."  I just shook my head and told them what I always do, "There is no good cancer, my friend."

Please, stop, please. I have tears flowing down my hormonal face.

I want on the list just so I can try to fake it. Swim, now that we are on hormones, we know the secret. Just like becoming a decorator. There are no secrets now.

War Eagle to all.

Okay, we could make our own. Maybe like a fuel injection that gives your lady a nice warm spray.

Snicker, snicker. I should have added the word "inside" spray.

They can already grow a prostate, but no attempts have been made in human yet, though it is probably easier than most organs. Scientists are already growing back fingers, growing working bladders, heart tissue and so on... within the next 5-10 years we'll probably see organs available for everything, or better still, the ability to regrow these organs. Really, it's not that far away anymore ;)

Any of you guys on HT having erections?  I want to be interested again, but my desire is about as small as my testicles have become? Oh, has anyone on HT noticed a difference in their testees?

I never realized how much of what drove me was fueled by testosterone until now.  I'm REALLY thinking about stopping the anti-hormones making August my last shot.  That will give me a full year on it, and while I know its rocommened that the HT continue for at least 2 years, I'm just "too not me" without  the hormone.  Did someone say "easy cancer?" Blah!

I miss the ejaculation too.

I think the key here would be to transplant the  entire "sub-assembly", from penis, testicles, prostate, nerve bundles surrounding the capsule. 

Hook up some blood vessels, splice some nerves, attach the top of the prostate to the bladder neck, and  voila! 

       Now where do we find a surgeon to do it?

I'm thinking a young drive-by shooting victim as the donor. 

Small prostate, young testicles, lots of testosterone. 

Robotic Surgery 11-2008 at 64  PC totally contained within capsule

Diagnosed 6-2008  w/ Gleason 6 & PSA 6.5  

Subsequent PSA tests show undetectable PSA

Dry the day after the catheter removed, some erectile capability at 3 wks, slowly but surely getting better, wife loves the pump.  I can achieve an erection sufficient for penetration, but she needs more.  Daily Cialis or Viagra, purchased overseas - my insurance won't cover it.  Viagra works better, faster, but Cialis doesn't stuff up my nose as bad

Testosterone replacement therapy for two months to counteract the effect of a Lupron shot  (was originally going to get a Brachy,  BIG MISTAKE.  Thank God for second opinions).  Natural testosterone production came back, one of the lucky ones. 

Why would ANYONE have EBRT or Brachy (the shot in the dark) when  robotic RP has become such a great solution?  Except maybe to put your urologist's kids through college?  The run-up to the aborted Brachy cost me more than the entire robotic RP!  I can see Proton Beam - a good solution if you live in So Cal or Houston and have two months for the daily treatments, but conventional radiation??  Why not leeches and blood letting at your local barber shop?

 Good Morning KEYWESTPIRATE:

I am presently investigating Brachytherapy as a treatment alternative and am interested in your reference to the procedure as -the shot in the dark- would you kindly provide some details of your experience and the aborted Brachy you refer to.

How about a mechanical prostate that shoots hot fudge?  There might be a lot of wives and girlfriends  whose attitude toward oral sex might change if they figure that one out!

(sorry...I couldn't resist!)
