I am 78
I am 91 and had prostrate removed 21 years ago no PSA or cancer since but had incontenance ever since and have had to use Trimix but in March I had PROACT surgery for leakage and it has improved from 6 or more heavy pads to 2 in 24 hours.
Positive. This a three year old post. Update: 76 now. PSA hit 13.5. Underwent PBR Mayo Rochester. No ADT. PSA three months ago 0.5.

You have provided a lot of helpful experience here and thank you.
An update of my experience now 3.5 years out. Most all painful urination resolved.
Possible scar tissue remains but not enough to cause problems emptying my bladder now. My new urologist and I agree that all the trouble for first almost 3 years was due to nerve and tissue trauma after the surgery.
I’m almost fully recovered for now. Only a slight bit of stress incontinence occasionally. ED and intimacy issues are on going however and only slight improvement. Any rehab for this was delayed by the painful earlier experience.
Pills don’t work for me although daily 5 mg may improve blood flow some.
Trimix does work but has its own drawbacks. Keep on trying and grateful my cancer is still undetectable.
