A quick hello

Postby JBinNCCT » Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:13 pm

Hi All,

Just got off the phone with Paul and wanted to quickly introduce myself as the newest member. I'm Joe - and WOW - am I fortunate to find you guys and this site. I had my radical prostatectomy on September 6th and since then have been amazed at how much i didn't know ahead of time or know what to expect as far as side effects after the surgery. While I'm glad to be rid of the one problem, the "others" since then, i.e., the incontinence and impotence, are more than discouraging. Not sure what to really expect of myself at this point, as it's just been 3 weeks since, but of course am more concerned about what to expect and do to improve the situation going forward and the timelines for seeing improvement. I will post questions to you guys - and look forward to your advice and counsel. Going forward - I have a follow up with my doc on Oct 13th and will post updates after that.

Looking forward to working with you. All the best,

Joe

Just a little screencast that might help you navigate the site a little more fully: http://www.screencast.com/t/8bT3aHly
You won't believe how much helpful information there is on our site.
