Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd post in case any UK members on here are not aware of the new NHS charges which come into force on 1st April. Any cancer patient will be entitled to free prescript ions...
Hi Jerry, Just thought I'd add my Hubby's experience following his open RRP surgery. My Hubby had a haematoma (sp?) at the incision site after the staples were removed and the wound opened up about...
Welcome Stellaluna, but sorry you had to find your way here. You're right the doc's do seem to make light of after effects such as ed. However, there are a number of 'treatments' available so please...
Hi, We're in Yorkshire, in the centre of the UK (just about half way up and half way across!)and treatment was at Nuffield Hospital, York. Are we the only ones from the UK? Little Jem...
Hi James, In response to your question, my hubby has recently started using Caverject. Our doctor, on the surgeon's instruction, prescribes 4 x 20 mcgr kits per month and, as things are different in...
Hello Paul1959, I would agree with SJC's comment above that it's more to do with the surgeon than the procedure. My hubby was 54 when he had open sugery in June 2006 which went very well with both...
Hi Triker, Welcome to the 'other side'. Funny, my hubby found briefs more comfortable than boxers whilst he had his catheter in too. We're now 18 months post surgery and last PSA was a big fat zero....
Hi All, We're using the 1/2inch needle and the injection I did which caused the painful, 'one sided' erection was done under supervision by the urologist. Would he have allowed me to inject in the...

Hello Grover, My Hubby had his RRP in June 06 at age 54. He had problems with the urethra 'join' not healing and had to keep his cath in for 12 weeks!!! However, once he finally got rid of all that...
Hi, My Hubby had his RRP in June 06 since which time his PSA has been 'undetectable' though next result due end this week/early next week. In November last year we managed to get life insurance to...
Hello Gene, My Hubby had his first injection done by a lady whilst I was in the examination room with him. He dropped his trousers and sat on the edge of the bed whilst she explained some of the...
Hi Guys, Thanks for the advice, particularly Tamu. First Caverject (10 micrograms dose) certainly 'worked' but he did have some aching afterwards (worth putting up with he says though). He will have...
Hi Everyone, My hubby is just about to embark on injection therapy (Cavaject) for ED following his RRP in June 2006. Viagra, Cialis nor Levitra produced anything 'worthwhile' and he can't get on with...
