Iam posting on behalf of my father. he is 69 Y/O. On Jan 2022 he was operated for Radical Prostectomy with Gleason Score 9 .

He followed it up with Radiation and Androgen depravation (hormone therapy) Still continuing

Now he has priapism. unable to even go for PET CT Scan to confirm it . Need help . Please share your stories if relevant for encouragement . If anyone ever made it beyond a few months after malignant priapism let me know.
