I was surprised to see this post come back up again after almost a year. I guess more of us are going through this than I thought.

I felt it was up to me to update everyone.

Wednesday was my 2 year check up ( 1 month short ) My PSA is

< 0.1 and everything is fine. I am about 99 % continent but have 100 % ED. I am now learning to to live with this. Yesterday, the 9th was the 2 year anniversary of the day I found out I had cancer. I remember it well.

Like they say, things get better with time. That is what is happening to me and my wife. We now feel that the cancer is gone and don't talk about it much at all. We are now able to joke about my ED problem.

I know that being married 42 years is the reason we are doing so well.

Those of you that are having problems talking about it are in my prayers.

Things will get better.

We're here for you, but I think you can safely say you don't have cancer with your stats. Congratulations and focus on everything else but cancer! Just be happy you're one of the lucky ones!
