Jeff Marchi on this site recommended your comment about an alternative to the AUS device.
I am an active 82-year-old and had robotic surgery, and the cancer came back. 40 radiation treatments. 5-6 pads a day. I was told and will be meeting a physician, who specializes in AUS surgery. No one mentioned the Boston device. Thank you for your information. I am also going to look into that device. Hope you are still doing well.

You have had radiation so the only choice you have is the AUS device.

I watched a presentation by a urologist who was very impressed by the ProACT Device and installed it in many people. They need discovered it doesn’t work with people that have had radiation, That hardens the urethra and makes it so that the balloons that Squeeze their urethra can’t do their job. The slang also doesn’t work with people who’ve had radiation.
