Hello Lyn,
Thank you for replying, I will go to the link you sent me.
It's not impotence so far as I can ascertain, definitely leakage, but exactly how, is yet to be determined. My urologist suggested Cialis rather than Viagra was the way forward. To a lesser degree he was correct, but even with the Mr V, it's not made much difference. Anyway, he suggested I wait until the next PSA count in early April, which is four weeks since the first post treatment. I am not on any medication now, but during the last couple of weeks, I ended up on morphine to kill the pain, because the idiot of a doctor failed to notice my sphincter muscle was damaged presumably by the radiation.
Being in the States with all the medical expertise, does not necessarily make them better or even more accurate or honest, rather they chase the $$$$. I know that as I was married to one! She died just weeks before I was diagnosed. Had she been around during treatment, everything would have gone much better, she would never tolerate the BS I went through.
To this day, neither the urologist nor the clinic who conducted the treatment, have ever called me to check if I was still alive or dead! Tells me all I really I need to know. My new urologist has been far better, but of course, they are only giving post treatment support, and hopefully with time, my PSA will fall to safer levels, but if I am correct, this could take 18 months, which is not easy to accept or live with.
For the record, the discharge is more like a gel, and occurs at least weekly from the rear of all places. There is only one place that the clear fluid can come from.
I have a support group now, but most of the guys had ops to remove the prostate, and further ops to do implants, and the newer radiation people are yet to start treatment. Being a Londoner and listening to Talksport, I hoped to communicate with guys who had been there, done that, etc. Anyway, it was nice to see your response.
