Yeah, I agree with some of the above. I am pissed off about it and have no philosophical gobbly gook about any benefit. F*ck you cancer!...
Same here." Golden showers, my lady?" Also discovered that an unexpected sneeze or cough, especially while driving, can be wet and disappointing. Need to pack backup clothing or pad back up....
My regret is never hearing the words from my doctor "watchful waiting." To this day I am not sure if the surgery was necessary. It was either radiation or surgery as a choice. The biopsy result was a...
FWIW, Jack LaLanne said that cow's milk is for baby cows - period. It appears to me that his philosophy worked well for him....
OK. I work at a college where youth and its vitality are everywhere. Mentally I feel 15 years older that before the surgery. I can't get an erection, still occasionally leak when lifting, and feel...
Thank you for the "update." Maybe I can wake up my zombie some day....
It's good to know that an implant is an option. Once again I wonder how insurance looks at that kind of surgery. Safe to say that I'm becoming impatient with the healing process (1 year). Yes, Viagra...
Thank you for your responses. It appears that injections run close to the price of Viagra and the like....
Good discussion. My insurance will not cover bimix or trimix. about how much money per dose does this stuff cost? Also the ring. Are they available on the open market or do I need to be fitted by my...
This is why this forum rocks! My coworker friend came in to work this afternoon saying that he will be doing about 40 days of radiation once they locate where the cancer is lurking. His darned...
Hi All: Last summer I had the Da Vinci and so far, so good. My friend at work had the sugery two months ago and was recovering well. Now his doctor says that his PSA has jumped from a .3 to a .4 and...
Jack LaLanne said that cow's milk is for cows. While I still like milk on my cereal or a splash in my coffee, I have read numerous studies putting the negative on milk. Watch the movie "Forks Over...
Wow, it's unanimous that I need to be more proactive with my health. I dread discussing ED and injections with my doc. I can't imagine injecting into my unit and having an erection of any form in...
Yay. Today, the 15th, is my one year anniversary and my lab results are good. Next week I have my one year checkup with the urologist. Is it too early to discuss ED and slight incontinence? Are...
I keep it to myself. Most of the guys I work with know what I have been through and know of the post surgery side effects. It's something that is not talked about. Most women I know have no problem...
I know why. When a forum is dominated by the same good folks, new people feel like outsiders. We hope to read the answer to one of our concerns. We don't want to ask a question that was possibly...
Returning to the weights made me feel better after a 3 month hiatus. One thing for sure is you will get wet. Ten months out and I'm still wearing a pad for precaution in the weightroom. Squats and...
I for one and probably the only one, have given up on meat. This I started the first of this year after considerable thought. The whole method of raising livestock and all the crap that is fed and...
Oh that just sucks!I saw RM play years ago in Long Beach. He was one of my favorites, top tier. Rock and Roll and RIP. /community/emoticons/cry.gif ...
I had my surgery in August and am now starting to turn the corner on continence. As said above there is progress and pateaus. I am not ready to go pad free during my work shift (electrician) because...
OK, I'm only at 4 months post robotic surgery but recently my urologist put me on Levitra therapy. Very soon after I noticed my continence had improved greatly. I'll have to ask if there is a...
I started back on the iron at 10 weeks. I am so glad that I did because it has helped with the depression that came post surgery. I do admit that some lifts can be a little "damp" but so be it. Life...
My doctor let me take six weeks off because my work is often physical. I am glad he did because the wetness issue was madenning at first. Getting out of a chair, there's a squirting. Lifting...
From the replies I have read so far it appears that the group I joined is a bit over zealous. Their intentions are sincere and straight forward. "You're gonna pee yourself in public, just accept that...
Recently I attended a local PCa support group. It was both educational and yet unnerving. The moderators of the group were really upon the subject and were a wealth of information. The meeting...
If it was cervical or ovarian cancer the cause wouldn't be there. My sister posted that it's "Squish a boob week" on her Facebook. Everyone likes boobs. Anything below the belt is difficult for the...
CDDAWGS, I deal with that issue on and off. Working in hot weather in a work uniform just irritates the heck out of willie. Vasoline has helped and so has Desitin. Fresh air outside helps and I don't...
Wow Cmetalman, that is quick. I am returning to work on this Monday after 6 weeks off. My desk is a ladder and my briefcase is a toolbag. I will miss my daytime TV, not. Best to you....
Anyone had headache issues with Viagra? I have a padded headboard so brain contusions aren't the cause. I mean freaky painful headaches + stuffy nose. Do Cialis and Levitra have less side effects?...
The good news is that now every morning at five I pee like a race horse. The bad news is that I don't wake up until six....
I had that surgery last summer. Not bad. they knock you out and then remove the cyst. Just take it easy for the next week....
Hi Mr. Dawgs: I am in the same boat as you. Been doing a lot of reading and issue is a big concern amongst us all. Some days I'm better than others. I had my surgery August 15 and am darned impatient...
We must create a market for the glow in the dark toilet....
Thanks English Bob, I need to know that someday I can hit the gym again. I really miss the workouts....
Wow, was I out of touch or what? My urologist has me going back to work after a six week recovery period. I don't know if I expect too much or he does. My body gets quite a workout at work. I am...
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who gets headaches from "V." Prior to my surgery I was working out with weights and using arginine. It is perfectly legal and I noticed that every day that I used...
Thanks Terry. Not many responses to my question so far. Is physical labor a thing of the past?...
I am scheduled to return to work September 26. This will be after a six week recovery from robotic surgery. How have some of you handled the return to work as far as continence and physical...
As I recover at home I too miss work. Not being one to sit on my ass very long I am getting rather squirrely. Being an electrician, I do dread the fact that I will probably not be near continence...
Westlake Village, CA...
I am two weeks post Davinci surgery. Those of you that have returned to work, how are you managing the leakage? How about keeping things discreet? Pads, etc. Also, how long did you remain off work?...
Guys, thanks for the reassurance. Penguin walk ... can I use that term? I wish that I knew what to expect after surgery. The doctors are great with everything until after one leaves the hospital. If...
I'm three days post catheter. How long did it take to even know you had to pee? I am soaking 8 pads a day. Damned depressing....
Amigo, I have been living with depression for years. Most of the meds if not all will have an effect on sexual abilities. That and desire. Add booze and it's worse. Having an understanding lady in...
Hi from the Los Angeles area. My name is Mark and today I had my catheter removed. I had no idea what I was in store for as far as leaking goes. I know that hygienically I am not going to care for...
Gents: Thanks for "warm" welcome. Humor is definetly going to be a requirement to get through all this. I am considering swimming as my exercise as there is an excuse for a wet suit. What respectable...
Hi Folks, kinda new here. Just had catheter taken out today. I had know idea what to expect. All your postings are really going to help both me and my wife. I feel like I need to order a truckload of...
