Hello everyone. I'm newly enrolled and 10 years post RP. I've had very good success with my cancer treatment but still struggle with intimacy (even though injections work pretty well- maybe too well). I would enjoy hearing how others (particularly single men) have made the transition back into dating and moved on with their personal lives. Look forward to hearing from you! Steve

This is a thread I will be interested in following. I am 6 months post RP. I feel the same way about using injections and I'm struggling with intimacy issues with my partner. I am curious what injectable you use? I have only had Alprostadil alone, and its tough to get it just right.

Hello and welcome...I would be curious to know more about injectables and also what you mean they when you say they worked " maybe to well" . Being 3 months post op I hope there are more discussions about intimacy.
