My first PSA after RRP surgery 4/24/2012.  Was very nervous to open the results but it is .02 which is less than <05. My doc says this is "zero" and I am relieved.   Incontinence making great strides these last two weeks for no particular reason. I am just about sleeping thru the night.  ED is my next hurdle. Reading these blogs daily has really helped me battle the depression that I have been battling since dx.  I really feel that I am turning the corner.

RRP 4/24/12

Gleason 3+4

nodes neg

PNI neg

Semvesicles neg

Margins neg

10% volume

PSA initial 3.5

Congratulations on the zero. Here's to many more.

I am sure it gets better from here.

Hi HVC- Now is the time to start working on your agressive ED rehab program, has your Doc talked to you about that yet ??

Get right on it, don't wait !!!!!

This is coming from the voice of experience :-)

Cheers,

Congratulations, and welcome to the all inclusive and all exclusive Zero Club, considering there is no .00, your .02 is about a low as you can get. Go and celebrate, and good luck with the rest of your recovery.

Thanks all for your kind words. I have actually been doing a rehab program with vacuum pump each morning and daily cialis but have very little so far.  I get maybe 20 percent with heavy stimulation but have seen no change in one month.  Going to ask about injections tomorrow at my three month doctor visit.

 HCV, give it some time on the ED... I started daily Cialis at about month 4, but was on and off with it which did no good! At month 5 I didn't miss a day and within a week or so, big differance! I guess at some point I need to come off it and see what happens. Good luck to you, it's still very early, things will get better soon!
