I’m a 55 year old navy vet. I was diagnosed in 2022 had surgery in December of 22. I did not do any radiation or chemo. My only side effects have been incontinent since and have been unable to have an erection. I had in June of 24’ proact ballon’s implanted and gas helped with the leakage. Nothing so far to help with getting an erection.
Just this past moth had a psa test that was .36 first reading above zero in over two years. Now looking at having to do radiation for a nodule on my left lymph node. So I wish you luck I’m ok with having my prostate removed I have wanted to stay away from the radiation and chemo just because I’ve seen the side effects with friends and other family. Hope this might help

There are solutions for getting an erection. You can exercise your penis with a penis pump. Get it used to being enlarged. You can get bimix or trimix injections, From a urologist. You inject it directly into the penis with a very small needle and it gives you an erection for a while.

And then there’s penile implants, Supposed to have high satisfaction.
