I wish it was a myth but I was never 'huge' to begin with. Now 29 months after surgery I still have not had an erection nor do I seem to care to have one. I'm still incontinent and no longer use...

Alf, you are correct about the Casodex/Lupron bomb but the open surgery was not because of the prostate size, only 44cc but the high Gleason score of 8. Although my surgeon, Dr. J. Chin is one of the...
