Update

Hi all,

Haven't posted in a long time but wanted to pass along Larry's stats for
Steve. PSA is still <0.01 almost two years after RRP. (September will be
two years.) He still has ED but one nerve had to be removed so I guess
that's to be expected. Viagra didn't work and the shots don't work. I
think hubby is close to giving up but I'm trying to give him pep talks to
keep his spirits up ... if nothing else.

Thanks,

Jean

Here's a site that might be of help: http://www.renewintimacy.org/index.asp

Did Larry try tri-mix? I did not get a chance before my ADT began, but it
seems to work better for most people who have tried it.

No, he hasn't tried tri-mix but we'll certainly check it out and talk to the
doc about it. Thanks for the advice.

And for the other Steve, I didn't mean to say that Larry and I aren't
intimate. We are. He just gets so frustrated trying to make something
happen that he's not wanting to deal with it anymore, but we still enjoy
each other in other ways. Thanks for the website info. )

On the contrary. You came (come) across as a wonderful, caring wife. As
one who is on ADT and therefore has no interest in sex, I am very familiar
with couples enjoying each other in other ways.
