There is hope. I am 9 months post surgery. Last month I had a follow up visit at which time I told the doctor I had been able to have sex with a 50% of pre surgery erection a couple of times ,and I...
My doctor removed it for me but it is something hat a nurse can certainly do. Word of advice, make sure you take pads with you and put it in immediately. I started leaking profusely as soon as I...
In two days I will be at 4 months post op. Today, for the second time, I am down to 1 pad for the entire day (24 hour period). I was using about 8-10 pads right after the surgery. The first time I...
3 months post op. 1 pad the whole day today and no pad last night at all with just a couple of spots. Life is definitely getting better....
I had a shocker this week. I went skiing in Colorado. I don't know if it was the altitude, the cold, the skiing , or the relaxing week with no stress that made a difference but when I went away I was...
WHY WAIT??? I never understood that tactic. True you can walk and don't need to run as PCa is veryyyy slow growing, normally. My psa was 4.0 in August and 4.4 one month later in September. 6 weeks...
I am now 2 months post op. Until this week I hadn't experienced anything down there. This past week I took 100mg Viagra instead of my daily Cialis and with stimulation from my wife actually saw an...
Understand that of all the cancers to have, this is probably one of the most, if not the most, curable. The "C" word is scary but it is survivable. I had colon cancer 13 years ago which was cured due...

My first psa after surgery, 6 weeks ago came back at 0.1. The nurse called me with the results and said that was normal but I am waiting to speak with the doctor. Shouldn't it be less than that?...
Suggestion for improvement. I had my 6 week post op visit last Tuesday. I told the DR I was going through 8 pads a day. He was surprised. He suggested that I make a conscious effort to go to the...
Thank you all for your input. It is greatly appreciated....
I had my 6 week post op check up yesterday. I had my first, and hopefully last, penile injection and an ultrasound. I was very disappointed that, although it grew to twice its size, it wasn't a...
I am 5 weeks post op. Dealing with the incontinence and ED most of us deal with. I tried the pump for the first time yesterday. Tried the battery operated one. Didn't feel any suction. Tried the...
Has any one out there been able to achieve a workable erection without resorting to injections? I have always had an unnatural fear of needles and cannot even imagine injecting my penis. I would love...
Thank you all for taking the time to respond. Sometimes it feels good just to know that someone who understands what you are going through is out there listening and taking the time to respond. I...
What is the status of your leakage 1 year later?...
One of the things I think new patients like myself would love to hear is how the patients who have had more time since the surgery are doing. Status updates help. Here is mine: Three weeks exactly...
