Hello Robert I had prostate surgery February 2013 and when it was found I was stage 3. After surgery I underwent 40 radiation treatments in 40 days because of the cancer getting outside the wall of...
Hello halbert and congrats on your recovery. Friday will be my three year anniversary as well. I have not visited here in a long time and have never learned how to input all of my information that is...
Thank you for the definition. I did get a response from my doctor today and she is going to refer me to a bladder specialist to sort out some options. I will ask her about the AUS. I agree, enough is...
Thanks to all for your generous reply's. But, because of my ignorance, what is AUS? I have an excellent surgeon that did my cancer surgery and she prescribed myrbetriq about a month ago but leaking...
My surgery was done on February 23, 2015 and the leaking remains. No more sweet tea at all and only down to one cup of coffee a day. Drinking only water. Back on the pads. My surgeon has changed my...
I had my surgery on February of this year and because the cancer was worse than the doctors thought to begin with and some of the cells escaped out of the prostate, I had to have 41 of the radiation...
Hello John, sorry to see that you're here, but welcome aboard. I fully understand where you are at. My surgery was 2/23/2015 so I am just a month out. My catheter was out 10 days later and I went...
Prato, if anyone asks what the worse part of the surgery (2/23/2015) is, I would have to say the leaking/pouring at every step. Luckily for me (so far) I have no leaking at night or sitting. When I...
Please try to stay away from the AS. You do what's best for you. As I said, I'm 56, diagnosed at 55, but my numbers were all so low that after a year of AS I said, lets do the surgery and be done...
Real quick, I am four weeks out post op, Radiation was discussed as was robotic surgery. I am 56 and without a doubt I had the surgery and happy that I did. It is however a decision that one has to...
Monday is four weeks post op and today I went without changing a pad and just wearing the "whitey tighties". Hopefully this leaking/pouring all day has eased up a bit. And I even had two cups of...
Thanks BillyBob for the information. Yesterday was a good day with leakage but not to bad. Today however; I was flowing and had to change out the pad within a few hours. Unfortunately for me though,...
Monday I will be four weeks post op and leaking is slowing down a bit, but I still use a pad all day long. Down to 1/2 cup of coffee a day though because if I drink anything it just runs right...
I have amazing news as well and I will be post surgery three weeks tomorrow. Although the leaking last week was actually not leaking, it was pouring and I shouldn't have gone to work after only two...
Thank you to everyone for your help and encouragement. I am in and out of my vehicle all through the day, as I am a building inspector so that is the nature of my work. I just drink one small cup of...
I definitely feel that the leaking is nothing that it was this past Sunday but it is still there. I think that each day gets better and at least I no longer have the infected prostate. I know this...
Joey, Thanks for asking and although I am a newbie here as well I did have my surgery on 2/23/15. My last PSA after being on AS for a year and a half was 7.2 and my biopsy was a Gleason score of 7-...
Hello Halbert, I had robotic surgery on 2/23/15 and catheter removed one week ago today. My leaking is very consistent and today I bought the first pack of depends. I work as a building inspector and...
Hello Pratoman I had to buy some depends today because I was leaking so much today even before leaving my office. As I have been reading some of the posts here this evening I have become somewhat...
James, try to avoid the radiation treatments. Once radiation is done, it will be very difficult if not impossible to do surgery at a later date if the PC reoccurs. I had surgery two weeks ago today...
Hello Dreamer, I had robotic on 2/23/15 and am happy I did. Mostly because the surgeon said that if I had waited six more months, there would have been nothing they could do. This surprised the...
Thanks guy's, this all helps, I thought that the catheter was bad but the leakage has already started to really bother me. This was my real first day of walking and was leaking on every step, but not...
Hello Tom, I am definitely a newbie here since having robotic surgery done on 2/23/15. I haven't put together my signature yet but when I got my first PSA in April 2013 it was 5.4 and biopsy was 4...
Just had surgery on the 23rd and have a lot of leakage going on. I was wondering how long I have to look forward to this pleasurable experience? I am due to go back to work on Tuesday. I work as a...
