Default 3 months after robotics surgery update

Update on Larry's Robotics surgery by Dr Wagner in Harford Hospital in Ct.
beginning of March

Stopped wearing pads a week ago and even then dribble was only very minor
esp. with a laugh or cough

Fist Psa after surgery was 0.02

Due another one in a few weeks


Kegel exercises bothered him, had muscle aches, he stopped it.


Decided didn't want to take Viagara after reading pro and con's on other
message boards and his own research

He had headaches and is prone to migraines

Doesn't seem to have trouble getting it up now , but it took some time

I can't remember all the stats I initially posted but I first got on this
board either in late fall or early winter. Some of you may remember.

Looks like he never ever had surgery now and is in great health.

I hope all turns out just as well with whatever decision you all make

sincerely and good luck to all

Joan

Sounds like great news for you both. Thanks for the report. I am just 48
hours post robotic and look forward to as good an outcome at 3 months as you
folks have had.

Can't wait!

Is he dry?

What is he worried about?


> He had headaches and is prone to migraines


Does he eat fish? If not, does he take fish oil supplements? Might solve
his migraines.

59 years old at dx. PSA 5.2. Gleason 3+3=6. You didn't tell us of his
