Here's one I don't think there might be a simple answer to.
Progressing along this road of illness and the uncertainty of it all I now find myself with the early stages of becoming impudent or it feels like it not being able to perform properly in the bedroom. God it is hurting the ego . For what is a man when he can't be a man? Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk __________________ |

Well, this is my first time in this forum. I don't post, or reply to posts, here typically. I just happened on your post. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at around age 50, I guess it was. I'm now 65. Because I was so relatively young at the time, it was recommended that I undergo a radical prostatectomy, which I did. I did not need any radiation or chemo. I ended up impotent as a result, although I'm not at all sure that this was entirely due to the surgery. I'm more inclined to think it was the surgery in combination with my mental health struggles, antidepressants, & some other stuff. I also still experience some mild incontinence. But the cancer was gone & that's the main thing. Best wishes...

Skeezyks thanks for sharing your story .
I have found the waiting to know the hardest to live with and at this stage they think they may have of got to me in time so no invasive treatment yet. So heres hoping medication will do the trick . Going through all this puts so much mental pressure on us that it makes up a big part of the disease whether we beat it or not. The scars nobody can see . I now know more than I ever wanted to about the relationship between the brain and the physical side of being a man . Thanks for sharing because any information we gain should be shared so others may benefit of our experience. Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk __________________ |

Hello daggy: I was diagnosed with prostate cancer... oh... maybe 15 years ago... I was quite young considering. I was fortunate though in that it was caught at an early stage. I underwent a radical prostatectomy but did not have to have radiation or chemo therapy. So I guess one could say I was lucky. Allot of what you're going to experience probably depends on how advanced your cancer is & on what treatments your physician recommends. There are treatment options available today that were not available to me, or at least were not recommended. Anyway, I wish you all the best with your battle ahead.

The words "probably benign" still doesn't give a person any relief. Still living on the edge for the next few months though .

I hear ya man, I've just gone through a serious cancer diagnosis in my family and the doctor told my family member "you're cured, but you should still see an oncologist to see if you need chemo". Talk about mixed messages, sounds like your doctor is similar with not having a concrete answer for you. "probably" is not a word you want to hear when it comes to your health.

Good news if there's any . Drs were thinking might have tumor in the portoid gland as well but they got on top of diagnostic really quick but nothing there . So now despite the all clear it's a wait and see also.
That's 2 rolls of the dice . Let's just wait and see ... Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk __________________ |

Take the good news with a smile when you get it man. I'm sure you're tired of all of the blood tests and xrays and stuff, but at least you're lucky enough to live in a time and country where you can have these things addressed, right? Sorry if that comes off as condescending, just trying to help you look on the bright side.
