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.
Guys! You are experiencing nothing out of the normal! Many of us take months - four in my case - to get to the point of no need for a pad. Have patience and never give up. Your body has had major changes made to it and it needs time to re-adjust. Be thankful it is so resilient and innovative! (Take parts out of anything man made and see if another part takes over that function!) I would say you are both on track and doing well. It just takes time. You have probably noticed things are better during the early part of the day and as the day progresses, leaks become more prevalent. It takes time for the new muscles to build up endurance. Hang in there! It will get better. Jon R.
