I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last December and had a protastectomy in Feb 17. It was radical. Lots was removed. And I'm also on hormone therapy. I'm 48 and thought I was relatively fit and...
No offence, but I've never known how on earth anyone can claim to be nearly' fully incontinent' as soon as the catheter is removed? Even a skilled surgeon isn't Dynamo... there is still the hole that...
Hello I had a radical protastectomy in Feb 17, the cancer wasn't contained within the prostate so I'm having radiotherapy to the pelvic area at the moment. I've had 15/33 sessions so far. As well as...
