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.
Tony, I do not know your details, but in my experience it took a good 12-18 months to mostly recover from both nerve sparing surgery and salvage radiation. The pills worked fine for 8+ years, but I got tired of the side effects. My wife and I had some moderate issues during the "recovery" time, but all since resolved. There is a website called "Franktalk" (I think that is it anyway) and other forum type sites that would be helpful to you I expect--do the research.
