..since my surgery.

For all intents, I feel the same as before surgery, except for that one side effect 90% of us deal with.

Life goes on, however.
I go to the doc in two weeks to get a yearly report, my PSA 3 months ago was 0.06

And a commemoration photo. hah :|

Congratulations, iSpark!

So, you're you have 100% erectile dysfunction or you're back to 100%?

Happy to hear you were able to stand strong as your PSA bounced around. My situation seems to mirror yours pretty closely. My first PSA was 0.06. I go in Monday for my 2nd test.

This post was incredibly encouraging to me. Some suggested I should have concern with my first post op PSA being 0.06. That bothered me for awhile but I feel like I'm fine and will be for years to come.

How did you handle the PSA jumps and what has your URO told you?

Congrats on your "almost" full recovery from the prostate bandit. I had my 2 year in February of this year. Starting to think less and less of the whole ordeal, especially now that I'm back to yearly checkups. Don't give up on the ED--lots of success stories well past one year post surgery! Good luck and continued health to you.

Thanks guys

Yeah, the ED is still 100%. I get chubby but nothing that is usable. On the rare occasion that I get more than just a chub, it is very weak near the point where the wiener connects to the body, it's like that part is getting no blood. :-\

The bounce in PSA, the doctor thinks it is from a small amount of prostate tissue on the urethra.

As long as it stays at less than 0.20 I'm good I believe.

iSpark,

Congrats on the 1-year milestone. My anniversary comes in a bit more than a week.

Ispark,
Don't give up on the ED!! I've been following your journey since you started. I hope that you have followed German's and Bluebird's advice on Dr Mulhall concerning ED; it will probably help if you haven't started; heck, you've got something started so work at it. All the best to you.
