    @Khaffey great news with this update. Encouraging to hear that some beat the incontinence devil. It is my biggest concern if I choose surgery route. Wishing you continued good progress!

    16 weeks out. Things are great. Incontinence is a non issue. A very rare drip or leak. Not much progress with erections. Feeling a little arousal during the night, and I think I am making progress.

    Khaffey… First of all, congrats on being a well-informed patient. Do you have a medical oncologist as well as a radiation oncologist? If so, this doctor's insights will help you make a decision you are comfortable with. I am a 7 year prostate cancer survivor. Gleason Score 9 and the BRCA 1 Gene. My prostate was removed, I have had chemo and radiation, both conventional and SBRT.

    As you know, it's vital to understand the clinical specifics of your condition. I have also found it is vital to stay mentally strong… so I hope you approach each day with quiet courage, resolve, and a determination to beat cancer.

    Best wishes.

    So happy for you. Great improvement! 0.04 for me also. Why the pump?

    JackWest Thanks. In addition to the cialis, my PA recommended the pump for additional blood flow stimulation.

    Paul Cancer Survivor….Thanks for the best wishes. Had a radical prostatectomy in February. I am now well on the road to recovery.
