One wife's story of ED

I couldn't get a prescription pump at first so I turned to Amazon. At first I got one with a squeezy ball type pump which didn't last long. You can buy all the bits, tube, actual pump unit and seals separately. Then I found a handle/trigger type pump seperately which I have had for over a year and it works perfectly. I also bought seperatly seals which I had to trim, they are cheap so you can get a selection. Also a longer tube to join the pump to the penis tube. The cheap ones are not so easy for transferring the ring from pump to penis without losing the vacuum, but once you get the hang of it it's ok. One advantage of the cheap one I got is it is light and will hang on while standing in the shower etc. and I can stand at the basin and hang the pump part on the cupboard door to support while shaving. The seal I got separately is actually more comfortable than the prescription one. All in all if I could only have one now it would be the light weight cheapy but with the rings from the prescription one. You can by the proper rings alone from Somarect.

Performance wise they do exactly the same job.

My cheapy doesn't have a pressure relief button, so just pull the connecting tube off when I need to release.

Good luck to you both

Cheers

Bill

I think with spinal mets you should talk to the oncologist before trying to have intercourse in case there is potential to do himself great harm.

It's ok Lyn, we've already discussed possible risks, but thanks for asking - to be honest, there's not a lot happening in that department anyway!

Anyone that says PCa is the best cancer to get needs a smack in the eye, don't they?

Totally agree and if one more person tells me to keep my chin up and stay positive, they're going to get a smack in the eye as well.  We are doing the best we can considering that our life has been turned upside down in a just a few months, and we know for sure that it will never be the same as it was.

Nope, it was the beekeeper's penis - didn't seem to affect his knees at all 🤣

I’ve always said: “They say it’s the least worst”, which is probably true, as if I had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer over two years ago I’d be dead by now.

The issue has been the new ED consultant who replaced our ED nurse - his stance has been "nothing will work, no point trying" which isn't really what you want from your medics. So it has been a battle but we got there in the end.

Well I’m glad. I just bought the blo*dy stuff online. I’m sure my doc would prescribe it if I needed. I’m luck he’s not stopping Cialis. Quite miss the old Invicorp though. Best erection ever and all feels natural too !! :-))

You’ll have bags under your eyes ;-)
