Hello, my name is Jonty, I live in Tarragona, Spain. I had a malignant tumour removed in June of this year and found my situation, prior to the operation, a very traumatic time for me and my wife. I had been bleeding so badly the I had no control when large amounts of blood would flow from my penis - this was always followed an ejection of coagulated blood simply popping out..without warning.

Following the operation, I still had serious bleeding - enough to cause an extremely painful blockage, which resulted in hospitalization for catheter insert. about 2 weeks after the removal of the catheter I developed an infection which sent me straight back to hospital for more catheter and bladder flushing.

They then found a second tumour which was removed 8 days ago.

After my experience of the first episode - I have decided to do everything by the book.

I have to add that after the 1st tumour removal, I felt absolutely fine - within 3 days of leaving hospital, I was swimming in our pool - after 1 week I was swimming (gently) in the sea...all this time I was continuing to bleed.

It was about 3 weeks after my first operation that  everything went wrong.

Now, following my second op - I am drinking 2 - 3 litres of water a day, no swimming, no exercise, taking everything as easy as I can. 

My urine is looking good and although I feel tired very quickly, I´m following the rules

So to anyone who is new to this, please don´t make the mistakes I made the first time around - you can´t help a 2nd tumour arriving, but you can help the healing process - which affects not just yourself but your partner as well...Good Luck
