Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Where do I go from here?

I can’t help you but I think I’m in the same situation as you. I’m 77 and a recent bone scan revealed widespread osseous metastatic disease. Briefly,
I have very little libido and my size is pretty minimal after being on testosterone deprivation therapy for about two years. Extremely frustrating not to be as intimate as I would like with the lady I dearly love. Though she is very understanding and accommodating I know it is very difficult for her, too.

Testosterone feeds pc Forget sex If needed you have 10 fingers and a tongue to please partner
@lleecc, to offer a woman's perspective, cuddles, touching and just being together to share experiences count as intimacy too.

Thank you for your reply. My prostate cancer has recurred and metastasized in my lower right rib cage. It is non curable stage 4. It is controllable but need to develop a treatment plan. We do that in November with Urologist and Medical Oncologist. Regarding sex haven't had any for over 12 years. Other half said no erections no sex. Like living with a sister. She now has vascular dementia and I am her 24/7 care giver. Thanks again for your comment. I keeping a positive attitude, healthy in other areas and trying to beat this situation.
