My hubby was 49 when diagnosed, he was advised a prostectomy, because of his age they weren't confident whether it would become aggressive or not. Plus by the time he was 70 he would have bladder or bowel cancer. He had a prostectomy in July 25 & results showed a more aggressive cancer, albeit nerve sparing was offered, some weren't saved. Currently he is on tadalafil 5mg for 3 months, currently doing penile physio using a pump for 10 minutes a day. He's been advised that he will be prescribed viagra end October, hes hoping that he will be able to hold an erection without the pump or rings. Anyone have any experience of this that could advise, I do worry about his mental health if this doesn't become possible. Thank you in advance.
