Dan0, I know it's a tough decision and I went thru those same thought processes at 50 years old. I know everyone's case is individualized. After, talking with my wife, family, URO, family physician,...

Nosywife, It's good your husband went to have the PSA and DRE, the earlier PCa can be detected the more treatment options available in most cases. I went down a similar path when I went in for my...
Sticks, I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I had no ED before or after surgery and even had a few erections with the catheter. Afterwords I was having sex with my wife in a few weeks and have not...

HCV, When I went through my RALP last October I was on about the same timing as you for the incontinence, the same leakage in the afternoon and then nothing all night through the morning. I did as my...

I've been released to go back to work next week after 6 weeks of recovery with no restrictions. Recovery continues to go well, I'm still staying dry all night, I even spent several nights without any...
Theo, The biopsy was not that bad at all, getting the biopsy will help tell you and your physician if and how much PCa may be present. I had two biopsies done within 6 weeks, the first was a 10 core...
Congratulations KRM! Glad to see everything went well. I had the stomach pains for a few days but did not take any pain meds just pushed through it after the first two days. I did not like the side...
