Hello all. My first thread. I’m 70 years old. I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. Was deemed low risk so was put on active surveillance. 18 months later they found another bigger and nastier tumour so was upgraded. Had three years of Androgen Deprivation Therapy and a month of radiotherapy. Long story short I’m cancer free now but living with the consequences. Basically I’m now left with a libido but have total erectile dysfunction. Sadly all this coincided with my marriage ending so I have no partner to understand the situation either. Not sure what I expect from telling you this but it’s helpful to get it off my chest and maybe contact others going through the same thing. Many thanks if you’d read this far anyway.

I have prostate cancer but am on a wait and see regime, I was originally supposed to have radiation treatment but they pulled me off that saying there are better ways to preserve quality of life and put me on this survey/scheme basically to see what happens.
I am 79 BTW.
