28 months post RP with one side nerve sparing and I had intercourse last
night for the first time without needles, pumps or pills. Full on, hard,
back to the good old days erection ( except for the inch or so lost by
surgery). I have worked hard for this moment, subscribing to the "use it or
lose it" theory. So for all those recent RP guys I can tell you there is
hope if you a prepared to work at it and not give up.

hi aw- it sure is nice to see that all the presents aren't going to be
under the christmas tree. and another thing about this present is that
it fits.
many, many happy holidays.

Congratulations! Mine came at 29 months (though no nerve sparing and not
exacly rock hard of old). Great Christmas present down under. I'm very
happy for you.

Good going! But does your wife know you're besmirching her reputation on the
internet? 8)

What to you mean does my wife know? No I haven't told her yet and don't you
tell her either. Nah just kidding, it is our wives/partners that manage to
get us through this whole PCa thing, from diagnosis to cure (hopefully) and
I am lucky to have a very loveable and much cherished wife.

As a 47 y.o, now 23 months post RP with a nerve graft, i take great
encouragement hearing these "late bloomers" success stories.
Congratulations AW!! and i hope i get to post a similar story in the
(not distant) future.
