Saw my 5th doctor on the AUS vs. ProAct. This one at Johns Hopkins in Maryland. He agreed with 3 of the other doctors ( the 5th doctor, who's surgery started the incontinence was pushing for ProAct) that ProAct was not for me. The Johns Hopkins doctor is the only one who brought up radiation. Like the other 3 he thought, that although ProAct had been around for a few years, it does not work as well as AUS and, was a bit of a gimmick plus, if it's not exactly placed, it will leak. I had hoped one of them would have said to try ProAct first. I have now accepted my only route now would be AUS but, this last doctor said that may not even work due to the radiation hardening my urethra and, my future may be to abandon the urethra altogether for a bladder drain tube. Great news for a 66 year old to look forward to.

| Comment posted by @jeffmarc on discussion "Can anyone share their experience with ProACT (an AUS)?".

Your experience with ProACT Is similar to others. If you had had radiation, you would not be having these results as it makes sure your urethra are very hard and the ProACT doesn’t work well.

Congratulations.
