Removal of the prostate will create sexual and bladder problems - there's no way around that.

I might be the outlier but I didn't experience any of that. I went through the surgery mainly because of my family history and I'm on the younger side of it. I do exercise a lot and maybe that has a lot to do with it. After the catheter was removed, I was fine and in the other department, I've had no issues and use no ED medicine.

I'm aware some people do have issues though. I know I'm very fortunate and it worked out for me. However, if I was your age, I may have gone a different route. I'm not here to debate what's the right or wrong treatment but just to let people know there are some positive outcomes out there. And here's to hoping your PSA level stays down. So far so good with me.

I’m sure that was a difficult time. I’m truly happy for your prognosis. Is there still a chance of it returning even after the surgery? How often do you get tested? Glad that’s behind you for the most part.
Cancer freakin sucks
