At five years, always nervous but this is what I like to see: 6/2/2014 8:55 AM PDT PSA <0.1 06/01/2014 PSA <0.1 06/08/2013 PSA <0.1 01/07/2013 PSA <0.1 06/24/2012 PSA <0.1 01/05/2012 PSA <0.1...
Aachen, I was diagnosed at 37years old, operated on at 38. I agree that you have ED issues with any of the treatments you choose. I went with the radical nerve sparing which was at the time the best...
Yep, after at one year some changes. At two years actually getting some feeling. Not strong enough for action but it actually doing something other than laugh at me. Keep the faith, as my doctor...
It is great to hear all your stories. I agree, it is difficult to keep the faith that it can come back when you don't feel anything at all. I still have a problem believing it and wonder if it will...
I find the ED after this surgery something I can hardly understand. For the first 6-11 month no response to drugs or much of anything except the shot. At 12 month all of a sudden things started...
Good evening, I have been injecting off and on for about a 1 1/2 years now. Got scared off with too long an erection for a while but still going. I am using the caverject twin, forget the name and am...
Most excellent. I can get some reaction now finally at 12 months. I do look forward to more. Even what I'm getting gives me some hope. Cheers....
Congrats!!, I hit one year today. Dry, clear psa, and working on the ED. We too shall live...
Yep, I shore have. I needed to have one this month prior to my 1 year mark. I put it off a few weeks but did it a week and 1/2 ago. I knew I had to do it but bad news would be a bummer. Results were...
My doc said mine was pretty large as well. We (my wife and I) throught it was the size of a walnut, he said more like a nectarine. When asked if that was normal he jokingly said, he hasn't seen too...
Good evening, I was 47 when diagnosed. My father, uncle and grandfather had prostate cancer so it was not a suprise--just how early. I opted for surgery and now am 9 months out, no leakage and...
My wife and I joked about the walnut, my urologist corrected us---he said more the size of a nectarine. The minds plays mean tricks--I instantly hurt worse. All that's behind now. Seven months post...
Hello there, Yep I have them since the surgery. They do go away but I have to keep on top of what I eat etc. I had a reality check talking to a internal medicine doc. friend of mine who explained...
Intersting. I had to delay due to my wife's surgery--it was quite a year-- so it was 3 1/2 months between diagnosis and surgery. I worried, that it would grow in that time lag--needless to say I was...
Greetings, I'm almost 6 months out and it is very slight improvement at this point. Sometimes some enlargement at night, sometimes not but not because anything I've done. Tried caverject injections,...
Good evening, It is always on your mind whether you admit it or not. I had my first post op PSA about 6 weeks after open surgery and it was .3. Needless to say I freaked out a bit but my doc. said...
Geezer99, I'm at one pad per day--don't wear one when I work out. Nothing at night. It is a matter of confidence as well as healing I think. Cheers,...
Thank you all for the welcome. I am now struggling with ED but that comes with the territory. Incontinence is controllable, the last little bit remains elusive but I can take a challenge. Much better...
I wouldn't worry too much until you are at 3 months or more. I had my first post surgery at 2 months and PSA was .5. I just had my second at 4 month and was undetectable. My doc. said it takes some...
This forum is outstanding. I have lurked throughout my diagnosis, surgery and now recovery. We all experience things differently, I'm probably more private than most, but I take my hat off to this...
