Hi had my prostate removed 17 years ago. I'm here if you have any questions about anything involving having prostate cancer or the surgery. I'm 63 now.
Hello Lufc, I had my prostate removed in March a nd have been incontinent since , I am doing exercise which has improved it a little more overnight, how long , if at all , did this last for you ? Also I have erection problems too can you give me any advice ? Thanks from Gray.
Hi Lufc
17 years is fantastic. I had the da Vinci too and I'm coming up to 5 years.
1 - What were the original Gleason scores?
2 - Did the surgeon reckon he'd removed all the cancer cells?
3- What have been your psa results since?
4 - What other treatment have you had?
5 - If you manage another 17 years do you reckon Leeds might have won something by then?
