   depression 4 weeks post-op prostatectomy (Cancer: Prostate board)

23rd February 2007
Hello.

I too am 4 weeks post-op today! I may get back to it today.

As far as your husband's depression is concerned, I can understand it. I am not yet feeling deep depression, but I wonder if I'll ever be physically as normal as I can be. My incontenance is very minimal now with just some slight dripping mostly when I walk a lot. Laying down, sleeping, sitting is OK. The potency I'm told could take several weeks to months to return, so tell your husband to not yet give up. Next Tuesday I will be seeing my doctor to discuss radiation which will be needed in my case, and to discuss potency issues. I think that at that time I'll get samples of Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra to try. I have also invested in a vacuum pump device, and have seen some improvement from using that for just a few days now. Maybe you should consider that option just to get things started. I understand it is very important to get blood flowing as soon as possible to prevent long-term problems. Talk to your doctor about it.

Good luck, and I'll keep checking on your postings.
