Dear Chaps,
I am living in the UK and had brachytherapy for my prostate cancer 12 months ago. It went well and my psa is down to 0.5 having reached about 7 before the op.
I am 71 but my wife is ten years younger than me and has been expecting a return to normal servicing fairly promptly post op. I was given cialis on the NHS and get four tablets a month. They certainly work but have side effects such as flushing in the face; and that is before I have had a drink.
Just this week and was able to have sex without chemical assistance and I am hoping that this will continue. Has anyone else had experience of how long it takes to return to a normal sex life after brachytherapy ?
regards,
Kaitoke
