Good new folks,
Had my post-op meeting with my consultant this afternoon. PSA level undetectable and found that the cancer was at the point where the prostate joins the urethra, which is a sphincter muscle. If I hadn't been diagnosed as early as I was, it is likely that he would have had to cut that away too, meaning that I may have been incontinent for life without further surgery and implants; but they just managed to save the sphincter and also he thought that the nerve pathways are pretty much still intact, so there is hope in that department yet!!; I have a meeting with the ED nurses later this month in the hope that "Harold" can be made into something like his former self rather the "chipolata" at the moment, lol.
Leakage is now almost zero, although sneezing is still a bit of a problem but did you know; it's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open, so now I walk around looking like Marty Feldman, lol. So, I still wear a pad during the day.
I am doing the Great North Run next year for this wonderful charity and will raise as much money as I can.
OK, so I'm old, cantankerous and sometimes can be a right PITA (pain in the arse) . . . however, I thank you for your support and will stick around.
Onwards and upwards!
Glen
