| One year and 27 days :-) | 29 Aug 2004 05:48 GMT | 3 |
I have seen several negative posts relative to the use of Muse and thought I should post the positive side. Finally after 1 year and 27 days there is success on the ED front. After too long in the "close but nothing useful" stage, my wife and I had a great evening! As

Everything is great!!! My catheter came out today (8 days after surgery)and I am much more comfortable. The biopsy came back on the removed prostate and indicated that as far as they could tell, the cancer was confined to the prostate and had not spread.
