I'm 31 months post RP and I also was a 3+4. I spent a number of months debating options with similar interactions with various specialists while going deep into research papers. At the end of the day I came to the conclusion that RP offered the best statistical outcome. The surgeon ended up taking out the prostate and I lost one nerve bundle. Working backwards and of highest priority, my PSAs are at zero. Now for the information most men care about next to remaining on this side of the dirt- With a hell of a lot of effort, diligence(using Trimix for about 5 months) and patience in year one post op, I still have a good erection, I have roughly 50% of the previous sensation during intercourse and I urinate more frequently than before but not to a level of annoyance.

Good luck and what worked best for me, may not be the best option for others.

Cancer free, I’m jealous you’re able to have sex, my surgery was in August, they also had to cut one nerve , I take 5 mg of cialis every other day and 20 mg when I try to get an erection . Even with a pump I’m having no luck which frustrates me more each day . I have a great marriage of 40 yrs and never went more than a few days without love making. Everyone says be patient it not easy with a much younger wife . Just had a pet scan since my PSA was .36 , will find out next week what the next step will be . Plan to try the gel and or penal injection if it’s not too soon to try .
