Yes, I've never seen the surgeon since the pre-op interview.  He always delegates unless you're new or very serious on a ward round it seems.   After 2 years I went to phone calls with a nurse instead of seeing a doctor at the hospital.

I was told that I'd go to annual blood tests at 3 years but a new nurse says she wants to keep me on 6 months and has added all sorts of health blood tests to the next psa test.   I'm a fit gym goer but I think she wants to check I'm not drinking myself to death. I cut back on drink as soon as I was diagnosed.

Also I refused offers of ED support as it seemed to improve slowly.   After almost 3yrs I decided it had stalled and bought a vacuum pump on-line for £30 and it did make an improvement very quickly but nothing to shout from the rooftops about.  Not that I would.

Hi Alan, I just posted on leila's thread as her OH is a G9 guy, and so am I, and so are you. 

Just letting you know I find it reassuring reading posts from people like you. I will be off the hormones soon, so it's good reading positive posts from people in a very similar position to me. I know it is early days yet but let's hope all stays well. 

I was brought up in Weston Super Mare, and still have a lot of connections there. I'm trying to work out where your profile picture is, the buildings looked a bit like my old school, walliscote, but I think their is a pub sign. I'm going to guess a pub out Worle, or possibly Hutton.
