T & S

Well done on your recovery, I thought I had done well back to work in 4 weeks so 3 weeks is brilliant although some will say way to soon.

I got my histology over the phone from my surgeon after three weeks, even though it was not quite the news I wanted it was what it was and I think until you get a post op PSA result a few weeks later a decision on possible further treatment may not be possible.

 

Thanks Chris

Hi All,

 

Just an update from me, recovery has been good overall and continence is good wearing 1 pad a day just for protection really during work as may be a slight dribble after a laugh/sneeze. So far absolutely nothing happening "down below" but that is expected I suppose!

 

Big day tomorrow as Stuart will get his histology report from his surgeon, he did his Supersensitive PSA Test in preparation last week so starting to feel a bit anxious about the results of that. Will report back tomorrow with the docs findings.

 

Best Wishes,

Trish

That's excellent news Trish, as Chris said I hope you'll both be downing a few beverages tonight to celebrate.

On the ED front I'm exactly the same not much happening down there.

I'm going to get tomorrow out the way and if it's good news I'm going to start the cialis daily again and just put up with the side effects. I got a new pump today just been having a mess and texting Chris at the same time lol, bloody uncomfortable being an uncut guy. But will keep at it... Lol

Trish

Brilliant news hooray!!

As for the exercises get in there and enjoy them, make them part of your journey together.

There are a few of you guys now going through the ED with pumps and meds. I hope you can all give each other advice, support and tips on what works best for you. I am sure others who have been through this will contribute too.

All the very best

Xx
