4 month follow up appointment

Had my 4 month follow up appointment with the uro doctor this past wednesday. I had my surgery on April 8th and first psa after surgery was 0.03. Had my results this past wednesday and psa is down to 0.02!! Only some mild dibbling at times, sleeping mostly through the night. ED.. well another story.. Havent seen any action with the plumbing since the surgery. Tried the viagra; had some blue tinted vision, levitra... didnt seem to work.. I got a script for Cialis.. will give that a try.

Keep the faith everyone!!

Glad to hear that you are doing well. I had the same problem with Viagra and Levitra, nothing but blue vision and headaches. How are you supposed to have a good time with a headache?

Cracking news Scott - really pleased for you - you must feel MARVELLOUS !

Long may your PSA "hang low" but not the other bits :-)
I guess maybe a bit of patience is called for (??)

Cheers

Great News Scott :)~

You end your post with the words "Keep The Faith", and that sentiment is crucial.

I am now 3 and a half years post-diagnosis and keeping the faith is sometimes hard to do but it really is a necessity.

Never doubt yourself or your body's ability to fight the illness. My own results are nothing short of miraculous but even now, from time to time I find myself filled with doubt. I have to kick the doubts to one side and practise your mantra!

As for headaches? OH YESSSSSS! Blinding headaches every time I awoke after a "Viagra Night".

Just perservere, you can overcome the ED, and even if it isn't as fast a recovery as you'd wish you gotta admit it can be a whole lotta fun trying!

Very Best Wishes,

George,
