Hi DEandFLguy, it sounds like you have a lot in common with Vikster, who posted this similar Q&A: https://prostatecancer.net/q-and-a/urinary-sphincter/. I hope you hear from some other guys who’ve been through it. Bear in mind we’re a small community right now! Looking forward to hearing how you come to your decision. – Nina, ProstateCancer.net Team

Yep, we’ve heard a lot about troubles with “the Hots.” Sharing this article on them, although I’m sure you could write one yourself! https://prostatecancer.net/living-coping/hot-flashes/. I hope they improve over time. – Nina, ProstateCancer.net Team

Hi Vikster! I’m hoping someone from the community will be able to share their experience, but in the meantime I wanted to share the article we have on incontinence: https://prostatecancer.net/living-coping/incontinence/ and our Q&A on leaking: https://prostatecancer.net/q-and-a/leaking-stop-improve/. Thanks for asking this question, I’m sure…

My Infusion Biopsy had to be rescheduled due to an infection. New date 7 June 2018. I will post the results about 10 days after the biopsy.

I would like to learn more from the group about implants for controlling incontinence as I am still dealing with moderate to high levels 14 months after surgery. My urologist is encouraging me to go that route.

Trying to be positive after having surgery, Lupron for 8 months and radiation with incontinence.

The stress of the diagnosis is overwhelming. Active surveillance was not working for me. Know you have cancer affects almost everything you do. I experienced the irritable. I was crabby about nothing. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t want help to plan or commit to any trips my wife was working on. My cancer consumed my life. I am two and a half weeks out…

February’s Lupron shot is probably still active as testosterone level = 27 (min. is usually 250?) and “the Hots” still happen…

I was sudated when I had my biopsy. I had some friends who said it was terrible. The thing that everyone should know is you can be sudated. You might have to wait a week to get an appointment in a surgery center. But no pain at all.
