Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2004Good News
RRP December 11. Uneventful convalescence. During an office visit three hours ago, the doctor removed the catheter. He gave me a pad and some Kegel instructions and sent me home. We stopped at Costco on the way home and I bought a box of Depends. Just a few minutes ago, I checked the pad and found it dry. I felt that I had to go, so I stood at the toilet and WHIZZED! Just like old times! I still can hardly believe it! That's great! Hope you have similar success with your path report. Best of luck, DanR Believe it, it happens. Good work, and you are ready to move ahead! John Loomis > RRP December 11. Uneventful convalescence. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I still can hardly believe it! That is great news! I hope your path report and 90 day PSA are as good for you. David S. > RRP December 11. Uneventful convalescence. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I still can hardly believe it! I can't either. I'm very happy for your circumstances. That's usually the biggest depressant for RRP patients.

Uneventful convalescence. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I still can hardly believe it! I had the same experience. I had dreaded the incontinence issue and it was such a relief to not only be 99% dry (I still leak slightly when tired or under stress). I also found that other urinary symptoms that had come on gradually over the years (difficulty starting, weak stream) had simply vanished!! Congratulations. These small, positive steps are really encouraging.
