Salvage surgery update
thanks for everybodies support. I had salvage surgery done on April 1 roughly 3 1/2 months ago so here’s my story. I’m doing very well right now probably better than expected. My PSA is below 0.015 undetectable which is great hopefully, I’ll stay that way. only issue I had I had an ongoing UTI for about six weeks it kind of rough. I am having a cystoposy done on friday to see if there’s any scar buildup or some type of restriction causing a UTI as far as incontinence. I greatly improved over the last week or two. I’m down to only one pad. It doesn’t even get that wet. I find myself urinating every hour, but I’m not emptying my bladder. .the pelvic floor therapy has really helped apparently I was not doing them right and I was doing too many as far as the erection. I am taking Cialis every day and believe it or not.i get about 80% erection that i had before ..hope this higes hope to alot of men.. after I get the cystoposy done and get that all fixed. I’ll be as good as new and hopefully I could say goodbye to PC for good but the good Lord is the only one that knows that I couldn’t ask for anything more ….. terrific surgeon terrific hospital terrific insurance. I am a very blessed.
