Congratulations!! Every undetectable makes it more likely to continue. Good luck!...
First of all I must say that I realize how very lucky I am. The answers to questions and words of encouragement I have gotten from this site, from the first signs of increased PSA through surgery and...
Congratulations. I am 3 years and feel as you do about this site and my good fortune. May it continue for you...
I joined a little less than 2 years ago and had lots of anxiety. You have always been here and gave me some great answers. I have not been great about checking back but every now am then I will come...
After a radical prostatectomy a year and a half ago I had a fairly quick return to 90 percent erections with help. My doctor prescribed 20mg of viagra daily, up to 100mg for activity and the regular...
I agree with most everybody here. Once the catheter is out I was ready to do most anything but I did need a nap everyday for several weeks....
About 4 weeks after surgery I started 20mg daily viagra and 100mg for activity (about once a week) plus almost daily pumping for rehab. I had gradual improvement to erections with 100mg. At about 6...
Congrats! Great to hear....
Thanks for the advice....
I am almost a year post surgery. I am mostly very happy with my recovery. Continence is 90% and ED is about 90% with Viagra. I have been using a vacuum pump almost everyday to keep blood flowing, not...
A year ago a was diagnosed and had surgery 4/18/18. I have now had 2 undectable PSA results (3 month & 9 months). I am about 90% back to normal on both incontinence and ED with daily 20mg of Viagra...
I had RP 7 months ago. I have been taking 20 mg of Viagra daily and the results continue to improve. I also use a pump daily to help the blood flow. Whether the pump is actually doing me any good or...
Thanks again for the info and encouragement. I updated my profile and included it....
I have not been on here lately except to give few words of support and reassurance to some people who had a similar outcome. I am 5 month post surgery and am a little surprised that my incontince and...
Thanks, all. In the shop. Thanks so much. I admire your dedication to this blog. Thanks for your support....
I took a second look and it says <0.10. I think that < makes a big difference. I expected a more exact number with 2 decimal places. Thank you everybody for helping to manage my panic while I looked...
I had RP almost 3 months ago (it will be 3 months on July 18) and I got my PSA today and it is 0.1. I don’t see my Dr for 2 more weeks and I think this not terrible news but not great. I was hoping...
I am eight weeks post surgery today. And I had the same concerns you did going into it. I found it to be remarkably easy and wished I hadn’t worried so much about it. The anxiety was far worse than...
Thanks all. I am 64 and had been pretty good going through 4-5 pads a day. Now that I am back to work (a desk job) and more active it is more like 6-8. I get through the night fine but mid day when I...
6 weeks post LRP and incontinence is getting worse rather ymthan better. Very depressing. I know it takes a while and I got some good encouragement on here but wonder if anybody else has experienced...
I am only four weeks post surgery and I realize it’s a long haul but I’m wondering if it’s typical for incontinence to get worse before it gets better. I thought I had seen a little bit of...
I have intermittent pain in my hips, one and then the other from time to time. I am 3 weeks after surgery. It may not be related , it may be because did I create walking or it may be a lack of...
Thanks...
I am only 3 weeks post surgery and expect a long road to continence and erectile function. Right now I am focused on incontinence. I am doing kegels 3-4 sets of 25 each day and walking 5-6 miles a...
I am 3 weeks post surgery and feeling great. I am on daily Viagra (20mg) and I am feeling ready to try sex and seem to have very little ED, though I haven’t given it a real test. Could a little minor...
I am 11 days post op and I just started doing kegel exercises. I find I get a little pain deep down about where the prostate was. It is a lot of pain but I feel like I might be doing damage to the...
Thanks for the encouragement and advice....
I had my LRP 10 days ago and am am very pleased with the recovery and I got pretty good news that the lymph nodes were negative and it was downgraded from. Gleason 8 to a 7 (4+3). I have had only...
I had surgery six days ago and I think I’m doing quite well largely because I’ve been walking a lot. As of last night the tip of my penis is very red and irritated and it hurts to walk as the...
Thanks very much....
I had surgery on Wednesday, home Thursday’s and afternoon adjusting to the catheter I am pleasantly surprised at how comfortable I am. Obviously, I have a long way to go waiting for pathology report...
Thanks. That is all good to know. I briefly consider radiation but the oncologist felt that if I went with radiation I woudl also need hormones therapy for 28-36 months. I would much rather not do...
I have recently been diagnosed with PC. I am convinced that surgery is the right choice for my case. I think I hav faith in my urologist at MGH and I am scheduled for laparoscopic prostectomy on...
