1 year out!
Brothers, today marks one year from my RALP. In some ways it was a long hard fought year. In others, I can’t believe a year has passed. Today has been a day filled with emotion, memories and hope. Reliving that fateful day surprisingly brought me back into the sense of anxiety and fear I suffered after my diagnosis until my treatment, both physically and mentally. Recounting the “story” of that day with friends and loved ones had me even in tears at times.
That said, I made it!! My continence is nearly normal and I don’t need any pads. My erection is also close to normal allowing me to have amazing sex with my gorgeous wife. Best of all, my PSA results are still undetectable!!! Trifecta! Life is good today.
For the new comers to the club, hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel no matter how dark and scary it may seem. For those that have been here for a while, thank you for sharing your stories and updates as it helps to know we’re not alone. Wishing all of you the best!
