This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Patrick I thought twice about answering your last message. However you are making a general assumption. Over the last 8 years I have been in contact with hundreds if not thousands of men who have undergone RP. In most cases, if it was not for their yearly psa check, they would have forgotten about their surgery.
After surgery (eight years ago)I have slight stress leakage, which does not bother me at all. I figure at the age of 69 the taking off Cialis etc is par for the course.
Bear in mind that most men attending support meetings are there because they have problems. From my experience there are as many problems with the other forms of treatment as there are with RP.
