Mine was very interesting. The lydacaine injection was a deep breath. The cores where mostly just benign hit. There were about three of them that really got my attention. There was not ryme or reason...
I am in pretty much the same situation. I qucikly shed the pads surgery in April and pads pretty much gone by July. But here it is almost a year later and the dribbles are still a reality. They come...
It has been one year now and I made only one mistake in the process. I pushed to have the biopsy 12/31/07 to get it on the insurance in 2007 thinking I would be fine. Out side of that I have been...
I had the sling installed with the surgury also. I think what happens is the bladder shrink with the lack of bladder control. It is like with my grandson, if you constently take him to pee his...
I can feel for you. After the first week, I thouhgt the cath was gone for good. How little did I ever expect that it would be back on two days letter. I was on and off again for several weeks. I am...
I have my seventh month check-up on Dec 31th. Exactly 1 year since my biopsy. A lot has gone on since then. Funny I put hte biopsy in the end of 2007 to try to minimize insurance costs. That was a...
To join in with those who thought the cath would stay out. I waited the week or so and had no problems outisde of taking the bag everywhere I went. When the time came, I got my exray and the evil...
I had the surgery almost seven months ago and still have ED issues. Pills work sometimes, I have not gotten to the shots as of yet. Is it a pain in the ass, yes. But it is SO much better than cancer....
My family Doctor was trained at Loma Linda and I have many other friends who live in CA. It would be the first place any of them would go. Loma Linda is where the proton beam radiation was pioneered....
Ivory. The good news is you have time. And you have this wonderful place to exchange ideas. But we are only a source of ideas, you have to find the right Doctor. My situation was not much different...
I have tried them all with limited success. It seems the 100mg Viagra is the best for me. The Cialis works longer, but the day after back ache that then lasts two days is just not worth the effort. I...
Dont be surprised if that problem comes and goes for awhile. I kept the stool softner around for the first 6 weeks. Whenever I had gone a day or two I would have one of my grandsons applesauces with...
I started on the cialis, but suffered from the delayed onset of back ache. It took me awhile to figure it out. I now take the little blue pill with very little problems,...
I had the sling installed as part of my original surgery, by a doctor that has preformed over 200 of these. I have had no problems. It is hard to tell if it help me get my continence back sooner, but...
I am closing in on six months since my Davinci surgery and am still waiting for back to normal. But there are signs all the time that I am getting closer. Viagra at 100 mg seems to work. Cialis gives...
I had constipation after surgery. Much like when I had kids at home I used applesauce and prune juice to keep me regular. It worked for me, I imagine every one is different. Just go slow on the prune...
A day after I had the cath removed I was at the urologist office with my bladder totally swollen. The young PA walked in and told me she was going to teach me to self cath. It was the most...
I am 5 weeks post op and still suffer from ED. I have been following Doctors orders and pumping and unsing viagra. Some days are better than others. Honestly it seemed better three weeks after...
I was totally overwhelmed with the job that Dr Hollensbe and Dr Scott did for me and my family in Indianaplis. They were 5 star and so was the hospital....
For me the decision came down to options and maintaining as many as possible. Radiation and Surgery both viable options, but you can radiate after surgery, but may not be able to operate after...
What is MUSE?...
The whole purpose of this, just my opinion is to get your brain to gain control of the muscle group that controls that spinkter. The kegel exercise helps, my doctor is a big believer. Other Doctors...
I stayed on antibotics while the cath was in (two weeks). the pain in the butt got better for me, but it took 3-4 months until having a bowel movement was not painful. Used a lot of fiber and lived...
what turns the moment around is when you start to feel so fortunate that you got caught early. There is time and options to get the right thing done. I had the Davinci surgery and am very happy with...
My doctor put me on a very restrictive diet (no alcohol, caffiene, spicy foods) for the first six weeks. It was a pain in the butt, but it worked very well. One heads up on the cath. I had mine taken...
Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I had no idea the Kegels might help the ED. I quit those after I was dry, looks like I need to do more than watch TV at night. It has been an intersting trip so...
My Doctor recommended weighing the pads too. If nothing else it gives your Doctor a reference point of how you are doing....
I had the robotic surgery on April 14th. I have recovered what I felt was good. I was without the pad by the end of June. But it seems like I have lost sexual ability over the last couple of months,...
