I am looking to start my 38 visits for EBRT and was wondering what is the best time to get it done. As I work I was hoping to get it done early in the day before work. This assumes there is no side...

Thanks Grege6. I guess its the "what if" at the moment with the surgury. I can see from my reading here that it can go either way with ED and incontinenance. I like sex and peeing normally lol. As my...
