Re: Path to Potency

Re: Path to Potency
HI guys, just thought I would weigh in on this. Background:I am 52 yrs. 30 months post-op. Gleason 3+3=6 before and after surgery. PC confined to prostate (yea). First psa was 0.04 as have been since, 4 the 1st year, 2 the 2nd and now I am yearly. This is as low as the lab my Doc uses results go. As for the other goes the first year was very slow even with meds. The 2nd year was better some good some bad. Then about 23 months out it was like flipping on a switch. Now I hardly use my Cialis. Guys don't give up hope because it takes time for the nerves to heal. Good luck to all.....David

Re: Path to Potency
dms55 - thats interesting you say "flip the switch" becuase my MD said its like watching a snail race then 'viola' there it is. I was always under the impression this was a very gradual progression all the way to the end and there was no 'boom' its back.
Thanks for adding your comments and i encourage everyone else who views this thread to actually throw in you comments. We all learn from eachother.

Re: Path to Potency
JJ, I have benefited a lot from your posts as we were (almost) the same age and you were one month ahead of me. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, David for the encouraging words. It's comforting to hear about some success stories.
