Didn’t know that, Peter…6weeks to heal before you can use it? I just assumed you were good to go after the procedure.
Hang in there, mate, better - and drier - days ahead…

They have to wait for the urethra to heal from the surgery before it's activated.
So I get out of there no better than when I went in.
Still on multiple pads every day until I go back to the urologist to activate the device & get shown how to use it,
1.5 yrs in with metastasis to abdominal and hilar nodes. 1 yr on elegard + xtandi. PSA remains at .00 as of April. When diagnosed at 63 i wasn't sure i would be here today. It was a scary time but now have hope for many years. You 20 yr guys give me inspiration. God is good!

Complete prostrate removal in 2004 have passed 21 years and I will be 92 this August. I was told at the time either have complete removal or I would be fighting cancer for the rest of my life, so I believe the DR. was correct for 10 plus years my PSA was 0.

Still here, Diagnosed last July stage 4, Mets to lymph node and pelvis. Last PSA in March, undetectable,
Diagnosed in February/March 2025 and just had my prostate out in May. Thanks!!
08.15.20.15 for me!!
But erections...only in my dreams.
20 months for me, PSA non-detectable. Next blood test in Nov.
Yes, mine was just activated after a 6 week wait and it’s really great. No significant issues so far and function is very close to normal.
Hang in there. It’s something to look look forward to!
