Seriously? Nasty messages about your outcome? If that’s the case, that really sucks.
I, for one, am GLAD that someone finally had the results all the surgeons have promised us since the introduction of the daVinci system. My surgeon actually advertises online that you will have NO ED, NO incontinence and ZERO cancer once he’s done treating you; he’s only batting .333 as far as my case is concerned….
So you were motivated by a dire prognosis and did everything you could to give yourself SOME kind of chance - and in your case, it worked. Others have done the same or more and are spending their lives in Depends. Such is life.
But they shouldn’t be bitter toward you because you had a better outcome; that’s not right…. I think it might have been you who posted that none of the success stories were on this forum because none of those men needed to be here - and that’s probably correct. You decided that your success story SHOULD be here in order to give some hope to men facing surgery, and that can only be a good thing.
But you must remember that a lot of men are very angry, bitter and disappointed in both their outcomes - and their futures; they obviously didn’t have everything go right for them as you did. You really are an exceptional case - I mean it! All the literature I’ve read including Mayo’s on ED after surgery paints a very pessimistic outlook for most cases - even at the best surgeon’s hands. And I think that is the predominant outcome for most of us and even those not on this forum.
Please go back and look at some of your earliest posts….would you say they were grim, pessimistic and full of gloom and doom? Now imagine that all of those fears really came to pass. You’d be out of your F’ing mind by now. That’s what a lot of men are living with and they are probably a little peeved by a guy who says he was wheeled out of the OR sporting an erection! 😂. OK, I exaggerate on purpose because to some, that may be what it sounds like and I think you get that too.
But please don’t stop posting - you have a lot of accumulated knowledge and experience and it is just so important that it be shared.
Best
Phil
