    Hello shadow, I also had robotic surgery in Aug 2012. ED was an issue and my urologist (also my surgeon) prescribed Cialis. This did help. He also told me before surgery erections would never be exactly the same as before since the prostate is not there to help. However I have been exercising almost daily and have noticed the exercise does help. I still use Cialis from time to time but I do not totally depend on it any longer. 18 months as you were told seems a little fast for recovery. Of course each guy is different in their recovery time.
    Don't give up, give yourself time and know that you're still here. Prostate cancer is on both mom and dads family so my decision to remove the gland was easy to make in my mind. While things have changed, I'm still alive and working.
    Good luck and best wishes as you continue on your journey.
