Good for you, you are absolutely correct that recovery is a spectrum and part of the journey with prostate cancer.
When prostate cancer returned last year, and my first opinion was that there was no chance for cure, the last thing I cared about was sexual function. When I got my second opinion and was told that I would need salvage surgery, salvage radiation, and two years of first and second generation ADT I still didn’t care about it. Now that surgery and radiation are behind me and my care team believes that I have a good chance for cure I care about sexual recovery too.
For reference did you have radiation or surgery? How long ago? If you had surgery, was it nerve sparing?
