Hi my name is Paul and I have just had radical prostatectomy after my levels of psa reached 10.6, plus my Mri scan showed cancer in the prostate, followed by scintograophy (sorry for spelling) showed it was contained just inside the gland. Biopsy confirmed the cancer in 2 places
My surgeon recommended total removal with nerve sparing
Just had follow up psa and now I am down to 0.2 and see the surgeon on Friday for the results
Difference for me is I live in France so some steps and work are totally changed in words and actions to your experiences in the UK
I am now 6 weeks after the operation and still have problems controlling the water works when out walking but at rest, through the night no issues guess it will come as it's early days
My main worry is lack of an erection ... (like most guys I guess) I know it's not important except for me ... have seen the sexolog and he prescribed vitaros 300 which is like a small injection but into the head of the penis, originally he said 2 times per week but gave a prescription for once. Said come back in 3 months and if it does not work will switch to an injection not sure yet of what. He also said no rush takes time
Read different things about pumps, viagra, and the likes
So questions
Will it work again
Should I get a pump
Should I try another product
How long does it take and will it ever work (I like targets)
Exercise
Do not smoke, drink little wine, work out everyday so very fit for 61 year old and determined to beat the 15 years the doc said I would have after the op.
Yes have a very supportive French wife but I am originally from the UK and sometimes lack communications skills with the language
My own family doctor is very good if I ask her for anything it usually happens and the hospital surgeon is very well known and highly respected in the area of France plus the hospital is one of the leading centers of excellence so no worries there. My road into this started in Feb 2019 with the first psa test and the operation was in may 4 months of many tests and activity first class service all the way
Thanks in advance
Paul
