I found that I was just relieved to get the all clear and regain continence. What I wasn’t prepared for was a period of what could best be described as depression which developed roughly six months after the removal of my prostrate. Once I realised I was being effected like this I took steps to improve my state of mind. Another feature is that I still have the same sexual drive but am unable to do anything about it. But, what the hell - I’m alive.
Get or keep as physically fit as you can. Talk openly to chums who have the same condition. Don’t bore others but be prepared to advise if they ask.
It saved it. So I’m eternally grateful. Any other side effects are trivia in relation.
Yes
It’s a cure rather than having to live with it and constantly worrying whether drugs are being effective. I be got over the incontinence and am physically strong.
