Thanks superman. I never knew how much surgery could take out of you. I wonder what's gonna happen after my main surgery. 10 hours under. I'll keep you updated. Keep me and take care, good luck

I finally had some great sex but no ejaculation yet. I wonder, I haven't even gotten to my main surgery Wednesday. 10 hours removing my throat. I hope i will ever ejaculate again. It's a scary thought

@Hidden username How did you surgery go? Hope you're ok.
I'm doing 30 days of radiation. I've been having a sort of skin reaction to it and urine leaking. I've been told they're both pretty normal side effects, but can anyone confirm that it doesn't last forever? I'm not looking forward to an early future of Depends...

I took the heavy radiation in my 70's I do wear depends as my bladder is weak from it. I can get erections and my bowels have come back to near normal. Ejaculations are dry and always will be

You didn't say what the nurses actually did. I had surgery then 40 radiation treatments. The nurses were great. Very professional. Then a short high radiation to a met in my back. I have been taking eligard same as lupron for almost 3 years. The worst side effect for me has been fatigue. It has really been debilitating. and brain fog. I am sexless and use a pad but don't have much incontinence. really just when I strain. My psa has been undetectable for .most of the time. The worst experience with a nurse was when one took my catheter out. Mostly it is the embarrassment but it was over quickly I'm only 75 and the treatment is better than being underground.

I did catheters for a while putting them in and taking them out my self, I get tired too, but I don't think as much as you. Im 77 and your right it beats being underground. I also had wonderful nurses particularly in the hyperbararic chamber room for the 40 day treatment
