Prostate Cancer Survivors

 

YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

  

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.

There are only  two rules: no commercials (although it is quite OK to recommend treatment choices and medical people based on your personal research) or fundraisers and no flaming - be polite at all times.

Since we are aiming for it to be a true International Forum it would be good if you showed your country in your post.

Message:   Jim,I had the Robotic surgery January 25th 2008. I also used thick pads for about 3 weeks. I was always dry at night. Then I went to a meduim pad for about 2 weeks, then to a thin pad. Around the middle of March, I stopped wearing pads all together and similar to those above, I only have a drip if not emptying completely. My uro gave me a bunch of samples of the blue pill. some 50mg and a bunch of 100's. I cut the 100's in half. They work pretty well, I do get a sligh headache, but not all the time. All in all, I am very pleased with the daVinci surgery and would do it again. The quality of life is MUCH better than before. Refering to the really weak stream, having to go all the time with uncomfortable urgency and lots of dripping after going. Like the others also said though, everyone is different. I think my wifes positive attitude and lots of excersise had lots to do with the success.
We wish you the best of luck. Email me id you have any further questions.
