Didn’t know that, Peter…6weeks to heal before you can use it? I just assumed you were good to go after the procedure.
Hang in there, mate, better - and drier - days ahead…

They have to wait for the urethra to heal from the surgery before it's activated.
So I get out of there no better than when I went in.
Still on multiple pads every day until I go back to the urologist to activate the device & get shown how to use it,
1.5 yrs in with metastasis to abdominal and hilar nodes. 1 yr on elegard + xtandi. PSA remains at .00 as of April. When diagnosed at 63 i wasn't sure i would be here today. It was a scary time but now have hope for many years. You 20 yr guys give me inspiration. God is good!

Complete prostrate removal in 2004 have passed 21 years and I will be 92 this August. I was told at the time either have complete removal or I would be fighting cancer for the rest of my life, so I believe the DR. was correct for 10 plus years my PSA was 0.

1 ReactionYes, mine was just activated after a 6 week wait and it’s really great. No significant issues so far and function is very close to normal.
Hang in there. It’s something to look look forward to!
