It’s not commonly done but I’ve had it after failed brachytherapy. Very few patients quality. Low BMI and excellent shape and health (other than PCa) are a must and you have to be free of co-morbidities. I needed the catheter to be in place for 3 long weeks and it took another 6 weeks to feel like my old self.

3 weeks? I don't know how you did it, although you didn't have a choice. After 8 days I was absolutely going bonkers with the catheter. Bladder spasms were the worst. And carrying around "my little friend" everywhere I went was comical at best. I ended up putting it in a Target bag. One day my wife saw me carrying the Target bag and said "wow, what you can get nowadays at Target!" 🙂
