4.7 Years in with a Kind Heart and Tranquil Disposition. I based my survivorship on my DNA inheritance from my family. I come from a family of members with Bad Hearts (BH) and worst Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Mom died of RA complications at age 47, sister died of RA at 65. Dad died of a Bad Heart (BH) at 71, other sister died at 55 of both BH/RH. Brother, age 75, has been bed ridden for 12+ years with a combination of both Bad Heart (BH) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). When my oncologist reviewed my DNA she said calmly "something else will get you before your cancer does." My cancer is advanced prostate cancer stage 4. My families DNA survival rate is somewhere between 58 and 64. At age 71 years 11 months my heart appears to be doing well and I've no signs of rheumatoid arthritis leaving me feeling kind-of blessed, cancer, cancer treatments and all the challenges we face.

That same oncologist described me in my chart as "Kind Hearted" and with a "Tranquil Disposition." I'll take both, I consider my survivorship as a gift.

Good day everyone, I am a survivor of Prostate Cancer as of July 2021. I had the full removal via robotic surgery, meaning they took it all, lymph nodes, prostate and yes, all the surrounding nerves, leaving me with permanent ED...however! The great news is that I discovered TriMix and wow! What a game changer. Takes me back to high school when the wind would blow and I could achieve an erection.

You are lucky , I tried it and had painful reaction, ow on Bimix but despite a medium erection there’s no feeling, it’s very mechanical and no real pleasure. Has anyone else had similar results? I see a doctor next month to discuss implant but until I can feel pleasure surgery would be a mistake. It’s been 11 months now since surgery maybe what nerves may have been spared can heal and function??
