Today is the one year anniversary of my robotic RP with Dr. Ash Tewari at
Cornell Weil/Brady Urology in NYC.  My last PSA was undetectable.  I was
quite satisfied with the surgery. Dr. Tewari has done thousands of these and
taught others worldwide how to do it. He is also a caring, warm person who
takes time to answer questions and to care.

I still leak enough for a pad a day and am not able to have an erection
without a bimix injection, but I understand I can still improve in both
areas for another year or so.

This NG has been quite helpful, and I sincerely appreciate the good advice,
useful information and support I have found here. It is, indeed, a labor of
love.

Hard to believe it's been a year already.

I don't believe you've reported your PSA since shortly after your RLRP.  May
I assume it's less than 0.1?

Excellent! Keep it that way!

You should see improvements for at least another year, maybe quite a
bit longer, so don't lose hope!
