Brothers in PC. I do not understand why it is mentioned in this thread that a normal sex life is impossible after having surgery. This is not always the case. If this is to imply that being able to...
Happy Birthday Alf. Hope your birthday wish comes true. I assume you guys make a wish when you blow out the candles on your scone. :)...
MB, I wish you the very best in whatever you decide. You have received some great advice from members with varying experiences. If your instincts tell you trust your uro enough to treat your PCa then...
Hal, I have been thinking the same thing about "superman" kegels on a daily basis. I too was completely dry 2 days after my catheter removal. The more I thought about it the more I contributed it to...
You are in my prayers David....
Guys can you tell me if flowmax continued to take away the pain? Because my uro encouraged me to get the machinery going ASAP after surgery, I was able to have sex 3 weeks after surgery. I have had...
Thank you all. I will count my blessings and stop worrying about the future. Well I will try on the latter part. Seems I always want to take it back when I know that to quit trying to control it and...
[quote="Started a Facebook page for bikers with prostate issues at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=382971347712"] Really nice. My uro told me to stay off my vtx 1300 for 6 weeks after surgery....
I do not want to come off as not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I have been so very blessed since my surgery that I am starting to wonder if my blessings will go away. I have been pad free...
Not considering myself heavy, 5'11" and 190 lbs, my after surgery pathologist report showed a 2cm or 20mm tumor. Maybe I am heavier than I thought....
Thanks HB. I did not want to "mess up" something that seems to be coming back naturally by taking the med and finding that I have to continue taking them to achieve the results, but I also do not...
Welcome Meryle. You have found a forum with a lot of caring and experienced individuals. I am thankful that I stumbled in here recently. Rob...
I am not really sure how to approach this subject, but I am hoping that someone here has experienced this and can provide some advice. The day after I got my catheter out I was able to obtain an...
May the number 17 become your new lucky number....
David, Thank you for this post. Sometimes I need a reminder to know how fortunate I really am. I had a catheter for 15 days and really got despondent at times. I am sorry that you are taking this...
Congrats to you Ricky. I had my cath removed this afternoon and got to try on the first diaper that I can remember. I sure hope that I am out of these things as quickly as you. Rob...
Alfred, I took flomax and detrol for about 10 months before testing positive for pc. My urologist put me on them because of urgency. I could not sit through a 1 hour meeting at work without finally...
Thanks guys. Medved in answer to your question I had been having problems with urgency for over a year. My regular Dr. advised me to go to a urologist after my yearly physical last year. The...
Sounds like a great new beginning for you. I wish you the very best in your move and your new position....
Funny how time flys when you are not having fun. The last time I posted I had just found out that the biopsy was positive and my wife and I were heading for a consultation with my Dr. Well I have...
Best to you that this improves your situation and leads to a speedy recovery....
Ladies and Gentlemen, I really appreciate your taking the time to send me your advice and encouragement. My wife made me get off of the computer last night around 11 and go to bed. Sleep did not go...
Thank you all so very much for your heart felt welcome. It appears to be a God send that I found this forum. I do not know anyone personally that has gone through pc and I really appreciate the...
I want to apologize up front if I am out of line for making this post, but I just need to share this with others that have been where I am going. I am 49 and have just received notice that my biopsy...
