Thank you for your advice!
I not have the the gland anymore. The bladder has been totally destroyed, first from radiation and later by treatment of the inside walls with chemical solutions. My only solution to the pain is to have a ureterostomy made.

After having a RP I have experienced permanent incontenance. As a result my urine leakage requires 2 -3 adult briefs per day.
I am currently scheduled to have an implant installed which will totally cure this situation. The unit is AMS 800 Urinary Control System. One hour outpatient surgery and then 4 weeks of recovery. To urinate you simplely squeeze the pump in your scrotum. 95% of these last 10 years.
