Thank you for doing these videos.I am a 65 year old guy from the UK facing surgery in the next few weeks.Your diary since surgery has been very useful as part of my preparation,good luck for you in the future, or should I say Good on ya mate❤
Thank you for sharing your prostate cancer story. Im 4 days post surgery with my catheter as my new companion. I have taken your positive out look on board and hope i can get a similar recovery. Getting some Aussie prospective on the net was also awesome. good luck with your travels
No problem. The catheter sucks, no two ways about it. Sensitive and damned uncomfortable. As soon as it's out you can start on your pelvic floor exercises - I'm sure your urologist will have told you all that. Believe me, it does get better :) I'm just on 13 months and feeling great! Last PSA was 0.01, yay!
@joeomalley646 don't stress. It really does get better. Right about now you should be practising pelvic floor exercises per whatever interval and frequency you've been told. Hang in there ..
Hello Mate and greetings from (near) New Orleans. I realize it’s morning time there, so apologies for the early signal. I am 7+ weeks post surgery and making reasonable progress with the incontinence. My hope/goal is that I recover as well as you have a year from now. Thanks for the info on the caffeine bit. Strangely, I was hoping I could partake in caffeine again after having given it up for over 12 years due to BPH - and then you tell me this! (lol). Nevertheless, I’ll follow your good advice! Thanks for all fhe common sense advice. It’s a pity Physicians can’t be as candid with their patients. Thanks again, and all the best - Colin
@colinc3284 I never believed I'd give up caffeine. But I drink decaf using beans I grind and honestly don't miss it. The recovery of continence was too important to me. Now it is just normal to not 'need' a coffee hit each day! I still drink tea though .
Thank you for these episodes they have been great to watch from an Australian perspective. I am 63 year old from Perth due for the same surgery next month same Gleason score. I am glad you have recovered well and this gives me hope for a similar outcome. I am keen to use a urine diary as you did and wondered if your spreadsheet was available to use? Thanks one again and enjoy your travels and retirement.
Thank you so much for putting this video online for people like me to see I was told last week that I have prostate cancer not sure what to do if I should have it taken out or if I should have Radiotherapy treatment😪😪☹️

Thank you for the encouragement! I’m regularly doing my pelvic exercises.
Thank you so much for theses vids - they've really helped 🙏
Your recovery is impressive. I’m 12 days post surgery and incontinence is a real problem. It’s good to hear that you have overcome that issue in time.
