If this helps, the nerves cover the outside of the prostate like the skin on an onion. to save the nerves they peel the onion. Everything gets squashed, pulled, stretched and tugged on then when they whack out the prostate and reconnect things, they get kinked. In most nerve sparing cases, they only...

I was told it takes 2 years for the nerves to recover also. I am 5 years 3 months post op. Did not have nerve sparing and records obtained in 2012 show they were removed ( in the pathology report showing cancer was in the nerve). Oncologist kept telling me that it takes 2 years for nerves to recover...

I'm working on the sorting out part. Did not even get mad this time though I started out a little terse so they knew the direction it was going to go if things don't start to happen but doc appointment is back on, though at a later date......again. Enjoy the catching up! I owe my wife a lot of catch...

Don't know the reason this time. Will call tomorrow. I just looked up on line and all my past appointments are not even on the list now. Completely erased. You guys have me thinking that once you gt the go ahead, you will be playing with your new toys too much to post for a few days. The thought has...

Thanks for the update. It was a great story to read and I certainly needed the boost after getting a letter tonight that my appt to schedule the implant has been cancelled again. Maybe the 4th appointment date will happen. each one delays another 6 weeks. I'm going to keep reading your posts in hope...

Thanks, i'll try to find it. Roller coaster on this continues. R'cd notice by mail today that my doctors appointment has been cancelled yet again and I should contact them. beginning to wonder if this will ever happen.

Thanks Zac. Looking forward to it. Your "journey" was one that helped me to finally build up enough nerve to pursue going past the point of no return down there. last week I was questioning if I really wanted to take this step. Tonight I would say I'll be ready in 30 seconds. Up and down e...

:idea: 23 days till I see the doc about getting the bionic man parts. Something on my mind is asking to take care of the turkey neck while he is in that area. I was circumscised very short so had a lot of flap till I started stretching skin down there. Not so much erect now but enough that it wads u...

Started injectable cypionate 7 days ago. Wish I had done this years ago. Took several tries to find a needle big enough and a 22 guage x 1" needle is spooky but I wish I had tried the switch years ago. I do not miss the Androgel 4 pumps per day at all. No more issue with the big needle than the...
