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.
Comments
last commentI do wonder:
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 tuscl.net if you wish.

Good luck to you, gSteph. If you never get a lapdance again, you'll still have all those mammaries to look back on. Not having cancer trumps not getting lapdances any day, every day.

I also wish you good luck and a speedy recovery.
I'm also having prostate issues so far no cancer found.
If you find yourself peeing often especially at night go get checked.

Good luck and don't worry about the cost of ED meds. Using a coupon from GoodRX I have been buying, without insurance coverage, 10 100mg of Sildenafil from my Kroger pharmacy for $10.41.

Best wishes man. You’ve been a great addition to this site. You’re frankly too good for this place. I’ve never prayed for another man’s boner before but I will for yours.

Good luck man but I don't think you will need it given how standard these procedures are. But any surgury involves some risk and even if you lose a but of drive the blue or yellow pill will fix you right UP (soo to speak).

Yeah it’s nuts how much the cost of those types of medication have fallen since 2015. I was pretty surprised. Yay for things going generic I guess lol

Best of Luck on the surgery. I am on the one pill a day of the generic version of cialis. It’s not too expensive and it is effective.

The take away for others:
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.

In fact, a PSA test, a few months after treatment (PSA has a half life) is how they determine if "they got it all".

Here's to a successful outcum; my thoughts are with you.

Best of luck, man. FWIW, one of the local mongers I've hung with on occasion had his entire prostate removed. It put him on the bench for a while, but he's back at it now. Took him almost a year (he's older than I am), but he's out there banging again. So, here's hoping you have similar success.

gmd...like you I know of a fellow strip club/SB monger who had his removed and is back in the saddle when he can.
Best of luck gSteph and I think I'll make an appointment for blood work.

Just a few hours till tomorrow REALLY early. I checked. Doc says, Yes, I am a morning person.
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 (tuscl.net), 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.

Back home, after one night.
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.
