Chris I'm a great believer in Kegel power. I was fortunate enough 6 weeks before my RP to be referred to a female Dr who specialises in pelvic floor work; women mainly but increasingly for PC guys....
Hi All I hope all who read this are in good spirits - whatever the challenges. I think I last posted in February so thought I'd update. Reached full (well 99.9%) continence by April although can...
Hi to all of you great people. Haven't checked in for months. History below. Went travelling for 7 months 4 weeks after RP in Dec 2015. Had my 70th in France. Had first PSA last week since op....
Franco, Thank you for sharing your story which I just came across. I found it very encouraging at a time (6 months post RRP ) when I was feeling a bit low about lack of progress with ED. I'm 69 but I...
Michael, Allen, James, Andrew Thank you for the encouragement. I wish you even more of the same. I tend not to come here every day as I feel I need to focus outwards for the sake of my partner etc...
Allen Thanks for bringing that report to my attention. I didn't understand all of the terms used but the conclusion they arrived at was clear. Since I didn't start usage of sidenafil until 3 months...
I only joined this wonderful site a few months ago and received comfort from the great people on here. I'm travelling well (literally and metaphorically!) right now but I try to take nothing for...
Pete It sounds like you've had plenty of supportive advice already. Just one suggestion. If you have confidence in your Urologist then have him take you through the results and explain every little...
David I'm relatively new to this forum and an occasional visitor as I try to heal and had not read your long history before. I wish you strength brother and peace from the other side of the world....
Brian Bear in mind none or few of us are Urologists. Did the rectal test detect any abnormalities? I'd agree with most responses. 1. Active surveillance. Perhaps 3 monthly PSA tests for 12 months to...
OK. I would like to think that most people on here wouldn't be being any more graphic than necessary and certainly not salacious, but I understand this is a large site. I'll try the one you mention....
ToddW I'm pretty much a newbie here (Robotic RP in November 15) but I'll share something with you that may help you ask some more useful questions. I'm 69. After my PSA started creeping up (again)...
Thanks halpert and In the Shop for the good advice. I usually only have one coffee/day. I'm just puzzled this feeling of bladder irritation only started two days ago after 5 weeks of steady progress....
Thanks Halbert. That all makes good sense and now I come to think about it I have eased off on the water a bit since I started to make ground. Hugh...
Hi All I'm working my way to dryness since RP (DaVinci) 14th Nov, and last self catheter Dec 6th. Bladder efficiency good; can go 3 to 4 hours ok. 'Spurting' is getting less although the little...
Dear Joe's Wife What a dreadful tale. By now you'll know there's some great people here to provide support. I agree with all the advice before. Change your team. Good luck and visit often Hugh...
Thanks Halbert....
Peter Thanks for taking the time to help with the 'sticky threads'. I was wondering if there is one on the erectile disfunction experiences post RP? Thanks Hugh...
Thanks folks for the welcome and a happy, healthy and great 2016 to you. its now 4 weeks since I last had to self catheter and its going well. On 15th Dec left Australia to go travelling for 7...
Bville Brave Sending you support from Australia. Hang in there mate. 'Black dog' visits us all sometimes but it will pass. I have a suggestion that you may find too radical. Try meditation. Find a...
Hi All I have dipped into this site prior to my op and I've found it be a source of sensible information so I thought I'd add my experience in case it might help others also. History I'm 69. PSA...
