]I did have issues and after a long while of trying, I just gave up for a couple of years. I wasn't married at the time but did have a girlfriend. Another time period and a new girlfriend I was using the pump with success but it was extremely uncomfortable with the band on. I then tried the Trimix with some success but keeping the solution in the fridge was ok but it lost its potency soon. I went then with Viagra and the pump which has greatly improved my sex life with my new wife. Plus I don't have to pay for the expensive Trimix and drive an hour to resupply.
I'm on my third battle with this cancer and had my prostate removed in 2008. Will most likely begin hormone therapy sometime this year.

I’m sorry for your third battle, I had surgery last summer and prayed it was over, wrong it was still there , I believe they could only save one side of my nerves, pet scan showed surgery missed some cancer this the radiation and now more hormone therapy, I’m not sure how I could handle a third return . I find it a little dishonest when we hear how treatable our cancer is with so many of us going thru hell a second or third time . My suggestion to anyone in their 70’s or older that my first question with my surgeon should have been would I have a chance to live another 10 yrs or more without any treatment. If my doctor said yes I would take my chances and enjoy what life you have left, good luck to all of us
