PSA undetectable again. Great news.

ED still there and unlikely to improve now that I am 2 years and 5 months post op. Caverject usage is far less soul destroying for me than I imagined it would be.

Well done Henry - great news about the PSA and long may it continue.

You seem pretty chilled about the ED situation as well.

All the best

Lovely to hear from you and your stoic outlook. Don’t totally give up. I’ve had vast improvements from the 2 1/2 yr mark. I can’t believe anyone can cope with Caverject. The after pain was indescribable for me. Try some Invicorp25. You may be well amazed !!!

Best wishes Henry

Hi Henry and Everyone in the group,

Thanks very much for all your posts; I'm 48 and have recently been diagnosed, it is localized and the doctor said I'm a good candidate for Robotic Nerve-sparing Radical Prostatectomy. I surgery is scheduled for Jan 5, 2018.

I did speak to a few people who had been through surgery, most of them have been straight and older guys for whom sex at this age was not a priority. In India, most men don't get their PSA tested for prostate enlargement is considered an old man's issue and there is little awareness of Prostate Cancer.

I've made notes after reading all your posts; I wanted to know more about the Pump - is it necessary to start using it right away.

How does an orgasm feel? the intensity?

Thanks again,

Vindci

I was 55 when I had the op and I didn't think sex was that important until I wasn't getting any!! I had partial nerve sparing so it took a while to restore a "penetrative capability". Now I would say Orgasm is just like it was before, sometimes I just can't get there but that rarely happens these days and only adds to the intensity when it finally happens...

You don't need to pump until after the op but it wouldn't do any harm to get a feel for it before hand!

Thanks for your reply Francij1.

It feels good to know, I was very concerned.

Is it important to use a Pump after the op, how does it help? I doubt if we even get one in India, is there an alternative?
