I don't know what to tell him. We don't have any insurance to pay for this stuff. And he is a cheapskate!!!!! I am not kidding you. You would not believe it. I will tell you in my words life just...
He says he has no interest in intamacy anymore. I have told him that he was the best I have ever had in my whole life, but that doesn't change anything. He is not one to feel sorry for himself. He...

PeterDisAbelard, I have talked to the nurse concerned. She felt that there were spots showing up on his L4 & L5. The CT scan writes that off as arthritis. The final results say 'no metastatic was...
I am doing just ok; I guess. He might still have some cancer in his back. According to the Dr when I asked him right after surgery. I said to him; someone told my BF that there was a spot on the CT...
Someone from this forum gave me links (3 of them) that are on Utube about info on ED. They were lectures from a doctor. Can anyone help me find them again? My BF and I went to the uro yesterday, and...
Cupcake25, I dished out the $524 for the pump. Insurance denied coverage to pay. We have sent in a letter to the appeal board to the insurance company to reconsider payment of the pump. I can't...
clocknut, The reason why I say my BF was a good candidate for nerve sparing was based upon the information I found on PC on the internet and what he told me after the surgery was over. Once I got my...
I don't want you to leave TC-LasVegas. I am new to this forum and it was the only place I found where people would talk with me about PC; including you. I did not know anything about PC until my BF...
Barb, I can relate to all the emotions you feel. My BF was diagnosed with PC on Feb 28, 2013. He had non-nerve sparing divinchi surgery on April 18, 2013. The feelings are overwhelming at times....

Hi PeterDisAbelard, I did share your letter to my BF, yesterday. I am going to give him some time to think about it. We plan on camping on the Mississippi River next week. So, lots of together time...

My BF had a high PSA, so the surgeon did a biopsy in all sections of his prostate. The biopsy showed cancer in every section; ranging from 7 to 10's. Now after the surgery the pathology report says...
Wow!!! Everyone thank you for all the comments and advice. I feel there is hope in my future for intimacy. I really love this guy. He is the sweetest guy I've known. And I am so glad I found this...
I am getting answers that I was afraid to hear. Because I was thinking the surgeon was taking the easy way out and taking the nerves. Just my thoughts. We got to the hospital on Thursday at 10am. I...
No MRI. He had CT body and CT bone scans. The doctor told me they were all clear except for the prostate. No time for second opinion. Surgery took place last Thursday, April 18th....
I wanted my BF to get a second opinion because I feel young at age 53 and worry about relationship afterward. The surgeon says the nerves have to go during surgery. But couldn't that decision be made...
