Profile Information

Have you been diagnosed with prostate cancer?
yes
What brings you to the New Prostate Cancer InfoLink social network?
I believe that frank discussion about ED issues is welcome here
Would you help us grow the network? Would you tell others about it?
Yes
About Me:
Age 63. Other than cancer, in good health; BMI 20
Happily married with two adult children and one grandson

Pre-op: No symptoms; PSA 5.7; Gleason 4+5=9; cancer in 4 of 12 cores
7 March 2008, RRP, non nerve sparing
Two nights in hospital; catheter and staples out after 7 days
Continent, no pads needed from the get-go
Post Op: Stage pT2 M- N-; clear margins and lymph nodes; Gleason 4+4=8; prostate weight: 37gm
6-week PSA: 0

Three months out, ED is my main remaining problem. With non-nerve-sparing surgery, I realize that my chances of regaining natural function are slim. However I plan to keep working on it, recording my journey wherever it takes me and having fun along the way!

Hi Piano,
I'm glad to see you again. Like DanMan, and others from HW it's nice to see the efforts of the many trying to get their QoL in order. This site has some great people and some familiar faces too. Peace.

Welcome Piano [hopefully to reurn to Forte]. I see you have started to find your way around. I can't personally offer you any advice regarding the injection technique issue, but I hope others will be able to.
