Wish me Luck

The view from the other side of the room
I’ve always felt I am a fairly lucky person. When I fell off a motorcycle at 60mph, I only broke one (hand) bone. My worst ‘incident’ in 200+ days of whitewater rafting had 5 seconds underwater and a quarter mile swim in big waves, but I swallowed very little water. Getting married was scary, but it’s been 40 years of satisfying fun and love.
Doc said I was lucky to catch this cancer so early. Per my numbers, my chance for a ‘permanent’ cure is into the mid-90’s percentile. Once my prostate is removed. Next week.
Removed. . . Damn. . . That’s gonna change things. Night or two in the hospital. Twelve days with a catheter. Recovery. Doc says most men recover sensation & libido - but that at my age only about half get spontaneous (without pills or devices) erections back. But that’s all guys. Since I get hard easily (on purpose or just because) and often, I’m more likely than most to regain that function.
This sucks. Not in a good way. But the cancer will be gone.
Wish me luck.

How long after till I feel like clubbing again?
Anyone know someone who returned to clubbing after?
Will I learn what the co-pay is on Viagra? Or will wife’s efforts return little Steph to his full stature in due course?
I don’t know. The future does. And we’re all headed that way.
I did refresh my stripper fun memory file with a fun visit a couple days ago. Nothing groundbreaking, just a round of reasonably believable artificial affection expressed with fondling, hugging, breast and full body appreciation, and nipple play. You know, a few lap dances. You can read it here https://tuscl.net/reviews.php?d=2021-12-… if you wish.
Good luck and take care of yourself.
It’s good they found it early on.
I'm also having prostate issues so far no cancer found.
If you find yourself peeing often especially at night go get checked.
gStep keep us posted
I am sure you can see/read that our thoughts and well wishes are with you.
Good Luck!
Hope the surgery goes well
Cancer sucks !
Shows that even among the degenerates there’s mostly good people. 😉 Who care. Stuff like that gives me hope for the future.
Appreciate it.
Get your PSA* checked. Simple blood test. Current recommendations is all guys 55 and older. Starting at 40 if father or a brother has had prostate cancer. It's the 2nd most common cancer in men. Used to be fatal for most/many, but with earlier detection, and finding it early enough for a cure, not so much.
*For those who may not know, PSA is a protein made only in prostates, all prostate containing individuals have some level in their blood. The level goes up with aging. If the # is high, or going up too fast, something is causing it. Get checked out.
Best of luck gSteph and I think I'll make an appointment for blood work.
I may go radio quiet for some time. Or not. I don’t know. I do know that I’ll be back in a club eventually. I didn’t wander the wilderness for 39 years (https://tuscl.net/article.php?id=57732), and finally discover lap dances 4+ years ago, to give up on them now. May all you PLs have Happy Holiday Clubbing, and all you dancers a prosperous season and New Year.
Ow. But not much, feeling better every day.
Especially after reading the 8 keys words from pathology report: "Margin Status: All margins negative for invasive carcinoma." Sweet words. They got it all.
Thanks again for the encouragement and kind words.
Insurance may limit number of ED pills (like 8 per month, perhaps cheep copay, but limited number)
