Thanks chillyjay for input. I've heard nothing but good things about Da Vinci...and Johns Hopkins is just better. Both older close friends of mine had it done several years ago and said they are glad they did. Continued incontinence is rare and ED might go away but there's alway Viagra :-). I'm glad you are doing well afterwards. Seems this prostate thing is extremely common. Steven0August 2014
In my case, the answer was yes - but. My wife and my sex life is different than before surgery, radiation and hormones. Several months ago I got a prescribed vacuum pump and that has made a good improvement. It helps to have an understanding partner. I think there was some nerve loss with my surgery and this has also added to ed. End result is more intimacy and less intercourse. PC makes us adapt to cope. Best to you going forward.
chillyjay, another good reference is Saving Your Sex Life by Dr. John Mulhall. Among other things, Dr. Mulhall recommends starting the process even before you start treatment to be most effective. Wish I'd found it earlier. Good luck and our prayers are with you.0March 2014
