hello My 6th post.
it has now been 9 month since I had nanonife surgery at the princess grace hospital London.
All I have done since my op is to simply return to normal life but I have tried to get a fresh blood test done to check my PSA level every 2 months or so.
one week ago just at the start of November 2018 I had my latest PSA blood test and my result have been very positive. It came in at ( 1 ) Now that is a drop from a peak of ( 17 ) in January 2018. I spoke to my consultant concerning these results and he agrees that this is a tremendous drop over the time period. My next move is to attend his surgery in March 2019 for a prostrate MRI scan. That will be my one year anniversary.
I do still suffer from a little fatigue at times that is after just a normal days work. I have become more likely to catch every cold that passes through my area. On the sexual front I am fully active and I have full sensation. But I must note that my erections are not as strong as pre operation. I have full bowel and urine control. So considering all these aspects I am now beginning to allow myself to start thinking more positively about my future.
If anyone is thinking about nanonife then I for one at this stage of my recovery am very pleased and very much encouraged by my recovery. I know the procedure is expensive. But with my recovery time being so short and my ability to live a fully active life with no real side issues I think it is worth that expense.
