Had my doctor appointment today.
Doc said, although it was unusual for that to be happening, it did point to a good sign that I may be back on track sooner, rather than later!
I was given 30 day free samples of Cialis and Viagra.
I go back in 2 weeks to see if the pills worked/working and if I may need injections, and to also talk about
a using a pump.
I also got my path report today. Doc said it looked good, and now all we have to do is watch the PSA levels.
My appointment was in two parts today, at 10:30AM I had blood drawn for PSA, and then at 1:30PM the doctor appointment.
Never got the PSA results, the lab was having problems and had to send it out to the main office.
Here is my path report.
