Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 @ Sent from my Nokia phone Proton Beam Therapy and Sexual Side-effects ? I'm looking into proton beam therapy for a friend. The " Ten-Year Study " that's referenced on the " Proton Bob " website talks about urinary side-effects of proton beam therapy, but not sexual side-effects. The Loma website makes this claim: .. . . " This means a much lower chance of side effects .. . . such as incontinence or impotence in prostate cancer patients. " Can anyone point me to _data_ that supports that claim (as regards impotence) ? Thanks -- PS -- I'm looking for something statistical, not something anecdotal. I'll be checking YANA next . . .

I had RALP Jan.28, 2010 and I have been on trimix since early February 2011 and I love it. My wife and I have a normal sex life (if you ignore the injections), and though the idea of penile injections can be intimidating, I got used to it the second time. With just a little foreplay I feel as good as new (I'm 69). A useful erection lasts about two hours for me so there's no need to rush. Viagra did not work sufficiently well, so that's why I went to trimix.

And so I live > with rage directed at myself. I am reaching out to understand > how best to deal with this. , I understand your feelings. Many of us have experienced impotence and know what you are talking about. I'm not sure what to say to you that will help. Different people have different needs and I'm no better than anyone else at understanding another person, but I'm going to try. I'll begin by saying that I think that you are still every bit as much of a man as you were before your treatment and as much as any other man. You shouldn't think of yourself any other way. You are not less attractive to women than you were. You are not less able to have a happy and satisfying relationship. You can provide every bit as much sexual satisfaction and gratification to a woman as you could before, and maybe even more. If a stiff penis were required to arouse a woman and bring her to an orgasm, there wouldn't be any lesbians in the world. I think the truth is that many women are actually put off and turned off by men's single minded focus on penetration. In fact, as they get older, women suffer changes of their own that make penetration more painful than it was and less satisfying. Most women wish their sexual partners would pay more attention to their women's desires and needs. They wish that their men would take more time, learn more about what their partner wants, and keep trying to improve. And when a man does all that, he can discover a world of excitement and gratification that too many men don't even know exists. He may also find that his partner is more interested and attracted to him than she was before. If you try bimix or trimix, you may very well find that you can have erections of any hardness or duration that you want. But before you do that, I suggest that you explore all of the sexual ideas and experiences that you may have ignored until now and learn more about sex than you used to know. Learn more about how to satisfy a woman. Learn how exciting it can be for you when you excite her to a higher level than in the past. Learn more about what you like even without an erection. Treat this as an opportunity to grow, not as an irreparable loss. If you do that, you'll be a lot more of a man, and a lot more useful to a woman, than a brash youngster who is proud of his physique but hasn't yet learned anything about women.

As my wife used to say: most of you guys don't have a clue about which buttons to push and how. Having said that here is my (typical) prgression to erctile function: A few months after RP and without a useful erection my Uro prescribed one of the Viagra clones, Levitra I think. It didn't work and gave me a two day headache. He then prescribed a vacuum pump. This thing works by creating a vacuum and sucking blood into the penis. It WILL do that, even on a cadaver I suspect. But to hold the erection after the vacuum is removed you place a rubber ring around the penis. This worked but an orgasm with this artificial thing grabbing the base of my penis just wasn't going to happen. Then he tried a hormone injection, a bi-mix in my case. It worked within ten minutes. Once you get over the clinical part of injecting yourself, it is just like normal sex. The erection lasts for an hour or more. So face up to your problem and see your uro about a fix. As he said before the surgery: if you want an erection, I can give you an erection. He did.

You posted " Prostectamy in 1997. Have used PC-Spes; Donsbach's PC-Plus, Prostasol and Quercetin Plus; MedPros' ProstaSol. " Here is the caution: There is no scientific evidence that those nostrums are curative. They often contain undisclosed drugs that could be hazardous to one's health. Here is a copy of my March 20 post on PCS re: Donsbach and a bit on his years of quackery. He pleaded guilty to 13 felonies involving quackery and, Bog alone knows why, was once again sentenced to probation. ........... (1) The latest vlog (video blog) from Dr. Snuffy Myers references Quercetin Plus (QP) and " Dr. " Donsbach. Snuffy is very critical. See: http://www.prostateforum.com/ask-dr-myers.html (2) The latest on Donsbach, marketer of QP who was arrested last year: he pleaded guilty to thirteen felonies: five counts of practicing medicine without a license, five counts of selling/distributing misbranded drugs, and one count each of of attempted grand theft, grand theft, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He also admitted that he personally inflicted a great bodily injury on one of the victims related to the unlicensed practice of medicine. The Court agreed to sentence Donsbach to probation, which will include restrictions against practicing medicine and distributing dietary supplements, and possible custody in the county jail. Per National Council Against Health Fraud http://www.ncahf.org/digest10/10-50.html ........... Much information about Donsbach and the various nostrums you have taken will be found at http://www.quackwatch.org/index.html I have given information on this and other heartless medical criminals to some folks who turned out to be True Believers , convinced that Quackwatch is dishonest (no evidence, of course) and all this about Donsbach and his ilk is part of the Giant AMA Conspiracy Against Complementary Medicine. Regards, Steve J " What are the facts? Again and again and again -- what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget 'what the stars foretell,' avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable 'verdict of history' -- what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!
