Well Friends, it's that time of the year again! I'm sure no one here remembers me but I was a regular way back when I was going through what a lot of Y'all are going through now!

I come back every year to let everyone know that I'm still alive and kickin 8 years after my radical open surgery! I'm still using Cialis or Viagra and a pump & ring to get better results than my natural 60~70% erection. It is what it is and I don't complain anymore! It sure could be a lot worse! I've been using testosterone replacement in one form or another for 5 years now since I found out mt T level was at castration levels> around 50. I'm now getting a shot every 3 weeks from my dear wife of 30 years this month who stuck by me through thick & thin!!!  

Good Luck to all of you and hang in there!!!

Your Brother>

Pete

My best to you

I appreciate your taking the time to drop a note and share your success story.  Here's to another 7 years of zeroes, and then another 7 after that, etc. etc. etc.

Pete,

As mentioned above, thanks for taking the time to update everyone here on your status.  Too often, people don't realize that a diagnosis of the big "C" isn't the end.  Positive stories like yours are important to everyone here, including me.

Hey Pete ole Buddy,

Congrats on another year of zeros and successful T replacement. Together there couldn't be better news. ML gives me shots so I'm extra nice around shot time.

Best to you and L for another year of good living.

You pal,

Jim
