Prostate Cancer

[luigi]

Sorry to put a bit of a downer on this Sunday morning, but have just had my prostate removed and thankfully got the all clear but was wondering if any of my fellow punters have been through this, all went really well and am feeling great, so good in fact that I am starting to wonder about resuming my punting career, was just wondering how long it takes to get everything back in working "order", I believe that I will have "dry orgasms", is that true and is the pleasure in anyway diminished.
Also want to advise all you 50 something guys the importance of having annual blood tests as early detection is VITAL.
Would be interested in hearing from any guys who have been through this, you can pm me if you like ....cheers

good on ya Luigi! it's good to know you're on the mend, were
there any obvious symptoms before you discovered you were unwell?

[luigi]

None at all, it just showed up in the blood tests, if i hadent had a blood test it would have grown and grown until i had a serious problem

Glad to hear you'e over the worst Luigi. I got checked lately and so far ok .There's a history of it in my family.

It's a good thing to have a full set of blood tests annually at least, whatever age are.

Glad you're on the mend. Best of luck to you.

Great to hear you dodged the bullet......let normal service resume

Really pleased to hear you got the all clear Luigi.

And much respect to you for raising this topic. It's not an easy thing to talk about, but it is really important that men are aware.

I don't consider this a 'downer' thread at all. You looked out for your health, and thankfully you are now well.

What is very sad is when men leave it too late and ignore health problems like this, through embarrassment etc.

Sadly I think all of us here probably have some sad experience of the horrid Cancer. Well done for being brave enough to go through all this and come out the other side. You are an inspiration.

Missed you around the place pal. Sorry to hear what you went through but really glad you have come out the other side.

I dont really know about the after effects in terms of meeting girls but I hope someone here can help you out man.

Thank you for your words, it is such a simple thing to have blood tests taken every year and can save you so much grief, it really is an no brainer, however you do feel isolated and is great to be able to discuss it openly here. Would be interested to hear from some of the girls, what do they feel about a guy having a dry orgasm, is it a bit strange from their point of view?

Hey Luigi, I am sorry to hear about your prostate problems and I'm really glad you have been given the all clear.

I have been a bit concerned recently about certain symptoms and am in the process of getting checked out.

I am attaching this link for anyone that might have their own concerns. It's better to be safe than sorry.
