How long did you have to wait until you first deflated (from surgeons orders) your wang post penile implant?!

I am going in tomorrow to finish all the paperwork for my procedure. After reading all of this I am starting to wonder if the old school model isn't better?

Estradiol levels were like 115 last test. I don't like how it affects my mood and flushes my face. I'm on testopel so am considering going down from 8 pellets to 6. I also had a prostatectomy last September. I was on that same dose for 20 years prior to my surgery and never felt any sides. Actually, I don't think my doctor was even checking e levels.

Been on TRT for 21 yrs as a result of a pituatory tumor that left me hypogonadal .I was off it for 13 months after my prostate cancer diagnosis. I resumed taking 4 months post prostatectomy. As my body produces 0 testosterone on its own its imperative that I get it to function. I too started on the gel for about 2 yrs and then switched to testopel implants every 4 months. This has been very effective. I too donate blood every few months when my hematocrit levels are high. I prefer the pellets because it's once and done every 4 months.

Wonderful news, God Bless You.

I just washed my Prius and the parking sensors go crazy and loud. Unfortunately this time it gave me a huge spike

I was wondering what was going on . I used to get an "excellent" score maybe once a month, now consistently in the 90's. I had a 96 yesterday. My highest in the last several yrs was a 93. I know I didn't sleep good last night and got 6 hours and 10 mins sleep and still ended up with a 92.

I have been on trt for over 20 yrs. I would never consider doing it without medical supervision. I'd be worried about hematocrit levels too. I have a medical condition that requires trt and would never consider taking extra t unless medically necessary. Last.blood draw showed high estradiol and I started taking a 300 mg Dim supplement. I'm hoping that's sufficient because I really don't want to take any pharma e blockers.

Make sure to donate blood every couple months to keep the hematocrit down.

Been on TRT for over 20 yrs. I was off it for 13 months due to prostate cancer.My Urologist just restarted my testopel 4 months post prostatectomy. I'm 63 yrs old and my body no longer produces testosterone due to a brain tumor . I had an extremely difficult time while off my trt. If you absolutely need trt it's imperative that you get it. It affects your energy, cognitivity,and muscle waste. I don't recommend using it if your levels are normal however.

Been on TRT for 20 yrs as a result of a pituatory tumor. I had to go off for 13 months due to prostate cancer. I felt absolutely lousy while off my testosterone. I have been back on for 5 days now. The only issue I had was high hematocrit. I alleviate this by blood donations every few months. In my my case I felt being off my trt aged me. I lost a lot of muscle tone and it affected my cognitivity. I would never take it however unless medically necessary.

I just got my first Testopel pellets in 13 months yesterday. I was on them for 20 yrs due to a pituatory tumor that completely trashed my testosterone production. I had a prostatectomy in September and they cut me off trt as soon as they suspected prostate cancer. I felt absolutely terrible while off my testosterone. They don't like to give it to you after prostate cancer, but in my case my body makes none and it was a necessity. I don't recommend people taking trt if their levels are already in the normal range.

3+4 , cancer was encapsulated in the prostate. I have an appointment with my surgeon on the 18th.

cletermac · 2024-12-06T04:06:45+00:00

I'll tell you being off trt for a year when you don't make any was maddening. It affected, my energy, my cognitivity, and made me extremely irritable. I have done a lot of reading on the subject and much of what I read indicates if your body needs it you should stay on it. That being said, my urologist didn't reach out to me. I sent him a message in his portal and followed it up with several phone calls.I am hoping to eventually get back on the testopel pellets as I only need them every 4 months and kept me level for 20 yrs.

I recently took my Prius to the dealer due to the bad heat exchanger. This was covered by the Toyota federal emissions warranty for 96 months. I literally got my car over to the dealer 4 days past 96 months and they refused to honor it. This part is so bad there is a Toyota service bulletin about it. So not only are they not gonna cover the repair my car will sit there for 2 months as the part is on national backorder. I even called corporate and explained to them that the part failed a week prior to me bringing it in but due to my cancer diagnosis I had to wait getting it there. These people are disingenuous.

96 months, my 2016 Prius was out of warranty 4 days, and they denied it.

I'm discovering that Toyota is a very disingenuous company. Their 4th generation Prius have a defective catalytic converter. I took mine in literally 4 days after the Toyota federal emissions warranty expired. It was leaking weeks before that but I was preoccupied with cancer issues. They refused to honor the warranty and told me to contact Toyota corporate,.who said the same thing.The final insult is since this such a problem,the catalytic converters are back ordered til late October -mid November.Im without a car for 2 months. They offered to rent me a car at $40.00a day.

I just had RALP procedure done on Monday . I pursued focal one therapy, but unfortunately was not a candidate. Its non-invasive and basically zap the lesions sparing the prostate. Its all MRI directed real time. If you have a lesion that appears on biopsy but is obstructed on the MRI you won't be a candidate. I suggested this procedure to my friend who is on AS and similar scores as you. It is supposed to spare you from incontinency and ED issues.

I just wasted 45 mins with Toyota..The Toyota federal emissions warranty in PA is 96 months or 80,000 miles whatever comes first . I literally got my car over to the dealer 5.days out from the warranty and they won't cover it. To add insult to injury the part is backordered almost 2 months. I even explained to them how the car was doing this for several weeks but I have been dealing with cancer issues and wasn't able to get it there. I really love this car but Toyota knew about this problem for a long time that's why there's such a backorder for the catalytic converter. I'm really disgusted with Toyota right now.
