Hi Guys,
First time poster. I was recently diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. I'm scheduled for surgery in May. Some men end up needing radiation & hormone therapy if their cancer returns after havng their prostate removed.
I want to get an implant within a year after my surgery.
Has anyone had radiation & hormone therapy AFTER getting an implant?
Did the implant cause any issues with radiation?
I assume the implant was still able to give you an erection despite hormone therapy wiping our your testosterone.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Implant - Radiation & Hormone Therapy
My oncologist didn't mention problems with radiation in case I'll need it with an implant.
She did say at least I won't have to worry about ED from it.
