I am using a combination of vacuum pump and viagra tablets and have recently started noticing an improvement
The worst part for me was having to have the catheter in for 3 weeks And the subsequent incontinance, I found regular exercise helped enormously, I’ve been walking daily, playing badminton a couple of times a week (both of these as soon as the catheter was removed) and I started cycling 12 weeks after the operation (after advice from my surgeon)
Yes
Even though when the prostate was examined it showed a “positive margin” I have had 2 subsequent psa tests with readings of <0.01. But I understand that radiotherapy could still be an option for me if it were to be needed, whereas if I had radiotherapy treatment to start with, a prostatectomy would be difficult if the cancer returned.
By sharing your story you can help others. Share what went well, what didn't and everything in between. Your experience is valuable. Help make the prostate cancer community stronger.
