Prostate Cancer

[Bob David]

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. The good news is that it was diagnosed early.
I was devastated with the possibility of becoming impotent. My surgeon said I was a good candidate for nerve sparing surgery that would protect the nerves running alongside the prostate that control erections.
I had the surgery the first week of March. After the surgery my doctor said it all went well and when asked about the nerve sparing he said he made every attempt to avoid the nerves. He said time will tell. Well, five days after the surgery, I was in bed with Kim. Just before waking I had what you could call an erotic dream. A pain in the base of my penis woke me up and I found I was getting an erection. I had to will the erection down because of the pain. The discomfort was either from the catheter still in my penis or the stitches in my euretha where it was cut to remove the prostate and reattached. Kim I were both thrilled when I woke her and told her what happened.
As the doctor told me “time will tell”, but I am optimistic that I will remain potent.
A good sex life and a loving and understanding partner increases the chances of regaining the ability to have an erection. If she is beautiful and sexy as Kim is also helps !!!
More good news came today from my doctor when he said an examination of the removed prostate revealed no cancer on the outside and no radiation will be required because there is no evidence of it spreading to other areas.
Any men who have any fear of this terrible cancer please have it checked as soon as possible. Early detection, proper surgery from competent doctor, and if possible a caring wife or lover will increase your chances of regaining your complete manhood.
