I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2018. Had a prostatectomy 5 weeks ago. Started Cilais and erections are few and not so firm. How do I focus on my sexual health, mind and spirit?

It is very early for recovery of potency, but not too early start penile rehab (ED meds, pump, trimix) if you have not already.

Can't sugar cost it Paul but it's a tough road and it varies 4 everyone.

Definitely start penile rehab asap! U gotta keep any nerves u may still have alive.. keep the blood flowing!! Pumps, pills, genital massage... anything like that wil help. I have an awesome husband but honestly alot of my "rehab" I did on my own. It'll take time and patience. It's definitely hands on!!!! Good luck, btw my name is Allan. Surgery was 7.5 years ago and things r better... way better

Know that five weeks, as sid below, is very early, and if you are already getting some kind of erections that are likely to get quite a bit better in the next few months. Some people say there's improvement for up to a year and a half (was true for me). Just how much recovery each person has varies a lot, but you've got a good start.

While you are doing penile rehab you may be surprised, as I was, that you can have the sensation of orgasm by experimenting.
