Healing
As I have passed the three month post op and am into my 14th week I can't help but think just how far I have come and the impact this disease has had on me, not so much physically even though that 4 inch purple scar below is a lifetime reminder but mentally. I now know that I am not bullet proof. I know that there are people who care about me more than I imagined. I know that there is someone above me that loves me more than I can ever repay. My questions from now on are 1. How long does it take to get over this e.d. thing? Do the nerves one day wake up or is it a gradual awakening (this seems to be the answer)?
2. Will my PSA always be undetectable? This is the most important issue and I know only time will tell
3.Can we find a non-invasive cure?
4. Can we find a vaccine?
5. Do infections over time lead to cancer? Over years or months is this is a marker?
6. Is HIFU going to one day become FDA approved? Will this be a "spot treatment" option or can it be refined to become the next big treatment option?
7. Is there a correlation between untreated hypertension and prostate cancer?
And finally I turned the big 54. Time sure does fly!
