Made the same mistake a few years back with a case of Bollinger. Got handed down from my father. Think he won it randomly on a credit card competition mid 80s. When opened it tasted like sherry 😬 Such a waste of the 8 bottles left 😒

Update:

Almost 14 weeks post-op.

PSA result <0.03 undetectable. 

Fitness wise I'm feeling great, jogging 5km isn't an issue, and I can do 40 minutes walk/run on the treadmill a couple of times a week. No idea if I can ride a bike yet so I'll ask at my next appointment in June. 

Flying out to Lanzarote with my OH tomorrow for some winter sun (and to reset my head). Might even have a celebratory drink, hic!

Cheers and good luck everyone.

Latest PSA result: <0.03 undetectable.

That's the second one in the bag for me.. so far so good. 

Blood tested Monday at my local hospital where the pathology department is operating normally with social distancing in operation, and vampires wearing gloves & masks. Nurse gave me my result over the phone today. 

I'll have a beer tonight and will raise my glass to everyone on here.

Cheers and good luck!

Fantastic news.

Those PSA tests are character building to say the least. 

Hope those beers took some damage :-)

Third PSA post-op result is <0.03 undetectable.

I emailed PALS after having difficulty contacting the hospital and having appointments cancelled due to covid. The result being a PSA test form, and a new ED appointment next week replacing the one they cancelled. Result!

ED wise, things are definitely improving. Nowhere near pre-OP standards, but I can manage penetration now which is a huge psychological boost. I owe a big thanks to all those on this site who have posted some fantastic advice on the subject.

To everyone else still struggling, try not to be disheartened, don't give up but keep trying. 

I might even have a celebratory beer tonight.. and I will raise my glass to everyone on here.

Cheers and good luck.
