So far so good. Continence is good; sex still needs a little trimix (0.1-0.15cc) now and then for 2 hour staying power. Natural hardons are more frequent and last longer. Think I'll give my Uro a hug next Monday when I see him.As a G9'ner I'm a little concerned that he'll schedule me for yearly checkups; it's something we'll discuss.

All-in-all I'm happy with my outcome ...

Take care!

great news! I don't understand your comment about the yearly check-ups. you want them more frequently or less?

i'm a G7 and I did not move to annual check-ups until four years after the end of treatment (closer to five years from DX) and i doubt your doctor would recommend annual PSAs for a G9 this soon, or at least i hope he wouldn't. anyhow great news!

Great news, I'm also a G9'er! So glad your PSA is looking good.

Take care,

F8,

My understanding of consultation periodicity and frequency is:

First year every 3 months
Second year every 6 months
Third year and beyond every 12 months.

As a G9,ner I'd prefer 6 monthly PSA checks, just in case!
