Recovery

Having been diagnosed with prostate cancer in February this year at the grand old age of 40, I had surgery in June. Cancer has officially gone, but its the after effects of surgery I'm struggling with. No more than the lack of elections, using the pump once a day for 10 minutes, have been a bit slack this week, only used it 3 times. The viagra isn't having any effect whatsoever, going from a walking erection to nothing is difficult mentally. To be honest the urge isn't even there anymore.
I have full control of the bladder and use the gym around 3 to 4 times a week, I'm in pretty good shape physically considering what I went through, just this last hurdle to get over. I know it can take anything up to 2 years to get back to near where I was previously, I just suppose I needed to vent a little is all
