Hi Sam, I am in UK but down south! As said you should get an appointment for a scan within 2 weeks of referral though it might take another week for reports to be completed. It is a scary time at the...
It was certainly my experience! MRI showed 2 x tumours 1cm & 2.5cms both well contained. Biopsy showed Gleason of 4+3, Surgery was 11 weeks from MRI during which time the tumours had doubled in size...
I had RP in 2014. It was non nerve sparing so for me, living in the UK, its Caverject, vacuum pump, non penetrative sex or abstinence! I started Caverject after 6.5 months. Trial of 2.5mcg produced...
Thank you BillyBob useful detail indeed. I have been told by surgeon and ED clinic that neither Cialis or Viagra will ever have any impact with regard to producing an erection for me but the ED...
some pain or discomfort around the op site(s), bladder and rectum and a sense of fullness in the scrotum is not unusual for a short while or from time to time after this op but sustained bad...
JimO - that is interesting, I don't have any knowledge of Trazodone but see that it belongs to a different group of anti-depressants to the SSRI's. It appears to have an occasional issue of causing...

Pratoman, I am one of the lucky guys who regained full continence within 48 hrs of the catheter being removed. I live in the UK and belong to a support group where the majority of members have not...
I firmly believe that the experience and skill of the surgeon is the single greatest factor for most people. I had a tiny degree of incontinence for 48hrs and have been dry since (op on 20th July)....
Here in the UK many people think that the medical care provided in USA is superior because its "private" but most replies here suggest its not a lot better than the UK and NHS! I had an apt set up 2...
Thanks for the welcome. I am indeed lucky to have a wife who is as interested as me in getting the ED sorted one way or another! Rigby I think here in UK that Caverject seems the standard treatment...
