Hi all,I have prostate cancer and I have opted to have it removed in Bristol hospital. Is there anyone else who could tell me about the procedure and more importantly the after effects.
kind regards
paul

Hello paulj40,
We have some information on our website on the prostatectomy which you can read here. It includes a section on long term side effects. I hope you will also get to hear from the experiences of other forum members who have also had the operation.
Do you know when the procedure will take place? We hope it all goes well for you.
Best wishes,

Hi,
I had my prostate removed last year. The operation went fine. As for the after effects I have lost a good bit of my sex drive and a good erection is near impossible without some help (viagra). The ejaculations still feel good but nothing comes out. All in all it is better then dying from cancer.
Thanks Gwojo
