In praise of Penis Pills before PC treatment!

Diagnosed with prostate cancer and treatment is in your future? I’m here just to sing the praises of trying out Tadalifil / Viagra before surgery / radiation / ADT. Your penis function is going to get whacked. So, why not enjoy a little enhanced function while you can.

First make sure, you are medically cleared to take the drugs. I got the OK from my general practice doc. Second, don’t take it the week of surgery.

But, if you are going to have surgery, then why not rediscover what it’s like to be a hormone-charged young man again. I recommend it.

I think one thing that is front of mind is that the countdown to surgery day also means a countdown to loss of erectile function. For some, the loss of erectile function might be short term. Hoping to be one of those lucky bastards, but I’m doubtful. For most, it looks to be a very long process, with the assist of ED meds and TriMix shots.

It looks like most radiation treatments can cause a delayed ED problem for many. So, you get a bit more time before ED shows up vs. surgery, where the impact is immediate. The charts I’ve seen show ED function at two years is about the same for both surgery and radiation treatment. However, if you combine radiation with ADT, then it sounds like the ED impact is immediate. In my case, if I did radiation, they were going to add ADT, so it’s surgery for me because I hope to avoid ADT unless I really need it as a recurrence treatment.

My recent foray with Tadafil has been an eye opener. It’s a flashback to younger days. Perhaps I’m setting myself up for even bigger disappointment post surgery when any possible recovery of erectile function will be that much worse. But, pre-surgery, I’m saying, Hey, let’s enjoy the ride while we still got it.

What say you??
