Great podcast Melissa & Dr Jo. I had my prostate removed just over 12months ago. My journey with my continence is similar to Phil in that I stopped wearing any sort pad after about 5 months but I have maintained once a day pelvic floor exercises. My sexual function is slowly improving but I'm 64 so I expect that is ok to be a little slow. Thanks once again for the frank podcast. Peter

Very informative Frank and entertaining conversation. I wish Phil ongoing success in his recovery. I'm 3 years clear now, had my test yesterday.

Very Informative on an issue affecting so many men in our lives. Access to this podcast will be beneficial to the patient to give answers to questions that men are afraid to ask. Thank-you Phil for sharing your story. My father had prostate cancer which unfortunately metastasised, he had a 13 year battle with the cancer and always stated he wished he had the radical prostatectomy after the initial PSA testing. Phil was wise to opt for the surgery of not wanting a ticking time bomb.
