Prostate Cancer and my Sex Life

Hi
I see you are 70 and your wife is 55. I'm guessing you have erection difficulties after prostate cancer treatments ?? A bit more information would be helpful. I know it's quite hard to discuss these things , but effectively the only thing you are missing compared to a healthy person is an erection. Bicalutamide doesn't help with libido I know , but it sounds like you are willing !!
When did you last ask to see an ED nurse. Have you got an erection pump ? Have you tried injectable drugs or pellets or cream that go into the eye of your penis ? There is more you can try !! And if you are both comfortable , have a good shop together on the Lovehoney website. There are LOADS of things that can replace an erection and can still be great fun together. Despite this damn cancer and ED it is still possible to be having far more fun than most of your neighbours. Ask away if you need more help.

Until recently I was taking 150mg of Bicalutamide per day. It is a type of hormone therapy called ADT -androgen deprivation therapy. It reduces your testosterone level quite a bit but , more importantly , it stops your cancer from seeing the testosterone and then using it to grow. Other hormone therapies are more severe and actually try to stop you producing ANY testosterone at all. All these therapies can reduce sexual desire and sexual function. You don't say whether you have had surgery or radiotherapy. Both of these can seriously affect sexual function also. Are you getting any guidance at all ? Don't just buy a pump off the internet. Ideally you can get an appointment to meet someone and be shown how to use the pump and get the right sized construction rings. Also there are other ED drugs you have not tried yet , that can give a man an erection even if he has no nerves left at all on his prostate.
