Back to work for me

Well almost 3 months after prostate surgery I went back to work today, was a bit tiring but felt good to do something normal, whilst I was recovering one of my cousins had his blood tested and his PSA was high, he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is having surgery next week, like me he’s not had any symptoms, well I’m in to see my urologist tomorrow regarding the sexual situation, but I’m sure I’ll be fine

I hope your cousin explored all options. Way too many do not. I know that in the UK you may be limited in the kind of doctors you can be referred to.

Where would you suggest he goes to for a second diagnosis? Or maybe nice to see your doing good Pete,

Don’t think I’ll come on this forum anymore

Why shouldn't you be doing good? The problems are usually with the side effects of treatment. The sex situation requires early intervention with penile rehab.

His diagnosis is OK. If he can see her, I recommend Alison Tree:

Hey Pete,

You'll do fine. Good numbers! Fast after surgery too! Lifestyle and diet changes can help you remain free of recurrence.

I went back after six weeks. And in six weeks, I forgot about half my passwords.

I figured out I should have written the damn things down -- after the fact.
