I was told years ago that I would not be a good candidate for a sling because I had radiation to that area. And that the radiation would continue to degrade the bones.

Well, it's been 8 years since the radiation.
Is the damage done by now?
I am so tired of pads and diapers.

Anyone? Buehler? Buehler? Anyone?

I hear you. And I was told that I was not a good candidate for an AUS due to being at risk for more bladder stones. He told me that I have a crevice in my bladder that will put me at risk. That was in 2021 and the last three years have not been my favorite years.

This really sucks.
I feel like I'm on the downhill side of a cactus filled hill headed over the canyons edge.

If this carp gets me, at least let me have dry drawers on.

It can't hurt to get a current opinion. Practices and processes have changed over the years.

Prostate related technology continues to leap and bound along. I’d see what latest gizmo or technique they’ve figured out. Maybe a trial?
