I have a rare cancer that is currently under control but is incurable. Been living with it for 4 years. Now my husband has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is going to need surgery to remove the prostate. Consultant has said that although side effects of the op vary from person to person, some things will never be as they were before. Incontinence is a risk along with erectile dysfunction. I am so bloody angry I want to hit, punch, scream arghhhhhhhhh. We are only in our mid 50's and this is so bloody unfair. I know there are more ways to make love than just intercourse, I know we should (are) grateful he isnt, as far as we know, facing a death sentence, but that doesn't make things any easier. I just wondered if anyone has any experience of life after prostate surgery they would be willing to share.
