Responding to Lawink about sticking myself...I guess after all the cutting and poking and catheters, I made up my mind that I would do it. I was really nervous, especially when I did it my first time...
I know it's not for everybody, but Trimix injections have been doing the trick for me. I was unattached when I was diagnosed so I really got depressed when I saw that most of the guys already had a...
Alex You're a little ahead of me. I don't have a partner at the monment so timing is a non-issue. I have starting dating someone and if things go well, I may be more educated on the subject...
Injection Thereapy Moving toward month four since surgery. I had two expereinces where I felt an urge and got slightly engorged on my own, but not really erect. Mostly I've been doing Trimix...
Hi Leandra Just hoped on to this thread. Looks like you've heard everything I could think to tell you. I had my surgery in October and I think this family is great because I never felt like I was...
Happy Holidays just thought some good news might be in order. I got my post op PSA results and the levels were undetectable, less than 1%. In the middle of all our healing, it's nice to have...
To All A Good Night! Just wanted to thank everybody for the encouraging responses and warm thoughts! Hope everybody has a drier, firmer, 2007!!! Birdland...
Not Dripping! That ,must be great. Do you think kegels had ,much to do with that or just time? I'm asking because I rarely remember to do them. Also, I',m guessing that even if erections are...
Lee, Buddy I'm here! Just keeping an even keel. Still leaking but that's starting to diminish a bit. Hopeful that it keeps getting better. Started injections with Trimix and I have been responding...
Somebody may have mentioned this already but after a little leakage around my pad, I had to go home and change. Looking for a better solution, i tried a pair of old bicycle pants, the spandex...
As I sit here reading and leaking, I am encouraged to hear that regaining control will take time. It's amazing how this site makes you not feel "all alone" I have been doing pretty good at night...
Hey Shepla I've been doing the low dose viagra. I'm due for a 100 mg dose tonight. I'm laughung because it's like I have this date wtih mysel .My side affects are a slight headache and my sinus get...
Congatulations to you Shepla. i'm a step behind you I think. My catheter came out Tuesday and that night I was pretty exhausted and despondant as I put on my didies to go to bed. By the next day and...
Shepla Russo at Slaon Kettering in NY. My first BM took a while too! There's a great comedy piece waiting to be written about these pain in the ass Floeys, but guess only a selceted audience would...
Done with surgery (5 days post) and recovering at the parents home in NJ. Made it to the library to do mail and connect with the gang. Thing were about as I expected except for the post-op swelling....
Hello All I haven't been around too much because I,ve been busy moving. That really kept me busy and active so it was a great thing. Surgery is on Thusday. All the pre-op tests are done. I just need...
Thanks I can't believe all the great, encouraging responses.Swim... thanks for the post-op reality check. Nobody is bland. When I look at my heart beating on the echo or hear my carotid artery from...
10 Days to go before surgery. Time to stop the vitamin e, alleve etc. I had my first prostatectomy dream last night. The first I remembered anyway. I’m trying to fill my life with good stuff to stay...
I'm surprized to read about these pathology reports. I thought that if the bone scans and catscans were clear, they would take the prostate out and that would be it. Am i missing something. If I am,...
I'm reading postings and it's comforts me somewhat to hear people mention the difficulty of waiting. My surgery date is Oct 12 and although im' going to work and trying to stay active, there's a part...
Congratulations. I felt great when mine came back clear. This is really big! I just attended a benefit on Monday for a friend whose porstate cancer spread to his bones so he has a lot more to deal...
I am doing the kegels. I plan to get to the gym three times a week to do cyclatron and work on abdominals and leg presses. I seem to feel better when I'm moving!!...

Thanks Michael It's strange having something that you know is going to have a big impact on your life but you can't see it or feel it, you just know it's there!...
Thanks for the welocme guys....
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer two weeks ago. I've had my bone scan which was clear and am waiting for my Rx appointmnet to hear about my Catscan. This is all sinkiing in and I realize I may...
