Hi all .just hitting home on my own story.had very aggressive prostate.caner at 56 and so really had no choice but to have it removed . Thank god all went well  with little to.no effects with my peeing from day 1.

But sexually major problems for over a year but now getting elections sometimes  naturally and with the help with pills. Erections tho.not as hard

Sorry I had1 side of my nerves removed. 

My most upsetting thing is I have lost a good 2inches off if the length of my penis !!! So sad ! And angry.tgat wasn't told that this would be part if surgery !!! . Luckily I had over 7inches but now just over 5 ! So depressed now but yes alive b4 u say it !!!!!

  • Hello Cknchris

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through treatment for prostate cancer and that you've had some long-term side effects. It's understandable that this will have had a significant impact on many aspects of your life. 

    I wanted to let you know that Prostate Cancer UK runs a sexual support service and I wondered if this is something that you, and or your partner, might find helpful. 

    We also have some information on our website which may be of help as well as a nurse helpline that you can call if you'd like to talk to someone. The nurse team is available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that things continue to improve for you and that you're able to get the support that you need. 

    Best wishes,
