JP's Story
From what I have learnt at 5 months it is normal not to be able to have an erection but, by all accounts, it is still early days and I have no other negative post operation symptoms
The previous questions answers are based on my condition after the post operation recuperation which was 3 months. The biggest impact was the reduction in physical activities but that was no worse than following a serious sports injury and I have come back better. The lay up has done me some good.
Yes
My view was that as a young feeling 67 year old I really want to be skiing with my ganddaughter in 20 years time. Removing the cancerous organ seemed the surest way of acheiving my goal. Having lived through the post operative trauma, I'd do it all again.
