I have had my first PSA test and it came back undetectable. I am pretty excited about that and I should not worry about any other thing I know. Being cancer free at least for the moment feels pretty good.

I still have not had an erection firm enough for penetration during sex. Orgasms are alright some better than others but I really would like to have one with penetration.

I have been given bimex I think it is called. I was to try 8 units the first time as five units in the doctors office only got me about 50% hard. I then increased to 10 units and same result. I then went to 12 units with the same result. My wife is doing the injections and tonight she gave me 18 units and nothing happened. This injection stung more than usual and nothing at all not even 20% hard. I am not sure what happened. The shot did sting more than before so apparently something different happened. My wife said she had it in the right place. It felt like it went in the right place but nothing happened. I guess I will wait the two or three days before I try it again.

If nothing happens on a shot should you try again immediately, is that safe to do or should you wait for a few days?

I am about two and on half months from surgery. Maybe I am trying to hard to make something happen.

Does anyone have an answer or suggestion to help me in my quest for timber.

Hey Educator,

Congrats on the big zero.  Great news.

I use Trimix so can't speak to Bimix.  I don't take more than one injection per day.  And I get better results if I get some stimulation before injecting.  Gotta prime the pump so to speak.  I use Viagra a few hours before injecting too.

Good luck...

Jim

You may want to talk to your urologist about trying tri-mix or even quad-mix, which contain one or two other chemicals to help with erection.  I have been successful using quad-mix, 0.1 mL

Congrats on your non-detectable PSA!

Educator, I was wondering about the information you have in your signature, "11/16/2007 recieved pathology report
Everything negative for malignancy"
In the after surgery test, they found no cancer?

Randy,

I guess I need to state my signature more clearly. Pathology report came back with negative margins and negative lympnodes. Yes there was cancer in the prostate.

Educator thanks for clearing that up. I was about to say you need a lawyer.

Great news on the numbers.

I'm two weeks away from my first psa test nut for some reason I am not the least bit concerned. I guess it is because I am not looking forward to the DRE again.
