Hi. I had radical surgery Oct 2019. Lots of high numbers. Gene testing predicted 5.9%chance of reoccurrence in 10 years. 16 months later cancer came back in lower abdomen. 35 Radiation treatments, radiation cystitis, Peeing blood and huge clots. 40 hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy sessions to stop bleeding. Lots of other problems. Total incontinence. Had artificial sphincter installed Aug 2021. Failed at 3 weeks. Dec surgery to switch sides of the pump. Fail. Cuff had eroded into my urethra, causing infections. Feb 22 had it all removed. One failure after another. PSA after 2 years is still undetectable. The only good thing out of all this. Good luck,

@budisnothome, wow, it sounds like things are rough. Am I understanding correctly that so far the internal bleeding has not been stopped? Do you live with an ostomy?
