Hello,
    I had a very wonderful RP/
I did lose a nerve or so.....
I never peed myself.
I did have to learn and practice in the erectile dept. I did.....
I have lost one set of nerves, but the ones left act as if there was
nothing missing.
So, yes Viagra can help, and I use small quantities... 30% of a 100mgs.
that is amazing....It is almost like being a teenager! So, without long
readings, and such, I am a survivor and also an erectile
survivor.....So, I had to add my to peanuts... That what I still have.
  funny
I may have lost those also, if I went for a Urologist up here,, Never
cut my nuts off!
Just my 2 peanuts.....:)

hi john - as you already know, i think you have been a beacon of light
for the men who have had pca and thought their sex life is over.  

i just wish that somehow your posts could be put into a file to see how
much you stayed the course and people could share in your trials and
frustrations and how much determination you have in  overcoming what the
surgeon removed.  

but you did persist and here you are today, shinning proof that it can
be done.

it was a shame that the driver hit and killed your dog as you did your
daily runs.  i remember that post and i think you felt the hurt and the
pain as much as you did from the pain and frustration of the effects of
the RP.

so with fall arriving, hang on to those peanuts and enjoy them.
wouldn't want the squirrels to mistake them.  :)
