Sorry to hear of your ongoing incontinent problem. I have lots of empathy for you. Following my surgery, I had no control for 6 weeks. Fortunately, I did turn the corner and am 98% continent now after 9 months. I did the Kegel routine and lots of pelvic exercises. I haven’t had radiation or hormone therapy. (However, it’s been discussed as I have one lymph node with a Gleason 7. I’m doing active surveillance.)
Another option for you is to check with a bladder center. Here is one you could look into: https://bladdercenter.com/
They can run a simple test to see if it will work for you. In a week, you’ll know if you’re a candidate for the device, which they will want to insert into you.
Good luck, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
As you say you have 1 lymph node infected I am curious to know what you PSA is reading.
3 years after RP I have a PSA of 0.23 and 1 lymph node showing posible activity on pet/Psma scan.
The public health oncologist is recommending
30 x SRT and ADT,
Private specialist is advocating active surveillance and I'm not 100% sure which to follow, I am leaning towards active surveillance.
