138. Meet Brian and Vanessa - Recovery, Injections, Lymphedema, and 2-3 Rounds

Wednesday May 31, 2023

Brian had his prostate surgery in September 2021 and his recovery went pretty smoothly. He only needed to wear pads for a couple of weeks. Surprisingly, he decided to try his first injection less than four weeks after the surgery. The sight of the tools was frightful, but hey, the results were pretty, pretty, good! The only downside was feeling a bit uncomfortable while driving on the freeway.

Come March, Brian met Vanessa and faced the challenge of navigating a new relationship after prostate surgery. However, they had the necessary conversation about Brian's circumstance, and their relationship flourished.

Brian didn’t have a super smooth journey though since in the middle of his newfound romance was the occurrence of lymphedema. However, with a great mindset and a trusting partner, he was able to overcome it - by using bandages.

Brian emphasises the importance of having that difficult first conversation about prostate cancer with a partner. He believes that without having that conversation, nothing will progress, and encourages others to openly discuss their experiences.

This is an inspiring story about finding love despite being a bit floppy!
