Great. Curious about your age and preexisting issues besides “prostate cancer” - not a joke! Without AUS I wonder how anyone over 65 could ever be truly continent. I’m 75, 5 years post RP, still <0.01 (HOORA), extremely active/athletic and use 1-2/day pads. Still internally debating AUS or not!

I am 86 years old... proof that age is NOT a factor if you're in good shape.
Prostate removed 4 years ago. Had 30 days of radiation one year afterward And Cyberknife radiation treatments 6 months ago because of rising PSA's. Became incontinent shortly afterward. Had Lupron injections about 6 months ago.
PSA was undetectable.

Hello 20lawlorg,
Congrats on your success and your psa being undetectable. How did your Surgeon handle the fact that you had radiation? Did he ever comment on your compromised tissue after radiation. I've had a RP plus 35 days of radiation...I understand it's a tricky procedure for those of us who have had radiation.

Congratulations. i am 67, 100 lbs overweight but i'm the engineering controls manager at work so i am at my computer a lot. yesterday was a 12 hour day at work, today was 15 but both days on one pad. Usually it the hour on the road to or from work that's the worst. Today did a job walk with one of my contractors and held up quite well to my surprise. Did have to use restroom after first project before going to the next.

AUS surgery was this morning. 2 1/2 hours and then 1 hour in recovery and then back home. Feeling pretty good for now but day three could be very uncomfortable according to the surgeon. I am excited for the final outcome in six weeks. It has been three years since my radical prostate hyena and hundreds of briefs. I am ready for some normalcy. Thank you to all who have discussed this here in the past three years. It led me to the decision to have it done and I have appreciated the information so many have shared here. This is a great forum for all of us. I will update as I move forward through the final few weeks to activation.
