Lost Prostate

[short 215]

 

A friend of mine recently lost his prostate in the divorce (aka surgery).

 

I would appreciate any information or jokes that would cheer him up.

He'll get a good nights sleep now.

Are you mad? "Lost in the divorce"???

 

Why post this here?

 

Maybe it would make sense to go see if a prostate cancer survivor group has any jokes for you to share. I'm gonna guess they'd make short shrift of your request.

One guy already made a funny joke. "He'll get a good nights sleep now'. Funny and true. No more multiple trips to the toilet. at night. Guys who survive cancer can and do joke about the experience.

Just think of the flow and the storage capacity returned.

Don't you think it's strange that in today's world of high tech medicine, when machines can replace organs, when a drop of saliva can identify fatherhood, or a blood test identify 100's of diseases……. that initial testing for prostate cancer still involves a Doctor sticking his finger up your arse and wiggling it about?

Your doctor must like you as he could do a blood analysis....PSA.

 

When a doctor told me he may have to do a secondary 'digital' test I thought it was something to do with a computer, boy was I in for a surprise.

That is the true test of gayness. If you enjoy it.......

A lot of false positives with the PSA.

Turns out that the surgery was done using a robot. Why? Whats the benefit?

My apologies if I offended you.

I knew one guy who had prostate surgery and he had to start wearing adult diapers. He pissed his pants a couple times a day. No control at all.

When it happened to me I decided to masturbate ferociously ………..Why should I be the only one feeling awkward??

Knock on wood but no direct experience. My understanding is there has been vast improvement in the operation in recent years so that recovery from the surgery itself is much faster and easier. I would be guessing to say that was the robot.

And you think it's the highlight of his day to stick a finger up your butt?

Ask the Doc to use 2 fingers. It's always best to get a second opinion.

A good friend of mine who lives in Bangkok recently discovered he had advanced prostate cancer. He'd been having regular checkups, and his PSA was always in the normal range.
He started pissing blood and the doctor did a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) they found his prostate was the size of a baseball.
He was told it was inoperable and that he had just a few months to live. He went to several Thai hospitals in BKK, and was told the same thing.
His family helped him to get back to the USA and go to Sloan-Kettering hospital, a top cancer treatment facility in New York.
They examined him and told him there was a chance with their surgeons. He had the operation in April, had a long convalescence, and just recently came back to BKK to rejoin his family here.

The prognosis is cautiously good, though the recovery is slow and painful.

I'm just in no mood to start telling him jokes.

I have kept out of this one but here are a few thoughts.

 

I am one of those that have spent years handling prostate issues. I have been reamed by male and female medical professionals and neither sex offers fun for this problem! I can see what the OP is on about trying to suggest that the ‘patient’ needs something to laugh about. Having said that, it is a really difficult issue. There is a school of thought that says that almost all prostate removals will give you shit loads of issues from impotence to incontinence. My health pro however got pissed off at me when I suggested these things. She accepts that they can occur but are not all or every time.

 

I am in line for an operation later this year and whilst I initially rejected the idea I am now 99% committed to it. Here is the thing, I fully intend doing two things about it. One is to get there before the op and use up all the juice I have in my system. And two, that is to get back to Pattaya when I am not pissing blood to see if it still works!

 

All operations are a balancing act. Few give 100% and most have a downside of some sort. There isn’t really any jokes that you can offer someone that has been in this situation but my dear departed father used to have a saying. Whenever I would complain as a kid about some hurt or ailment he would come out with, “There were men in the last war that lost their heads and never had a word of complaint”.

To show that i can be serious about this……...http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/55933-i-have-a-friend-with-a-problem/?hl=prostate

 

 

However, and I know we are all different…. my mate appreciated some genuine sympathy mixed with a large amount of humour. It's certainly the English/Aussie way . I think it's because ernest sympathy makes us more likely to well-up and blubber…….and you don't want to do that in front of your mates……unless it's a game of football.

 

For information. The mate concerned, (70 now), after his Op was over the incontinence problem within 6 months….though as he's still building houses and doing a lot of the work himself he admits he sometimes leaks a little when he squats to pick up heavy weights. He's cancer free but he never got an erection again. He tried everything including injections directly into his penis…… Nothing really worked. After a year without even a nocturnal erection he's stopped worrying.

 

He's still a handsome bloke and women love him…….He cheats!! He really listens to them. But he knows he can't take it further than flirting in the UK. However, the semi-good news is that he can still achieve an orgasm. The feelings of one at least, but without any sperm production. On his last trip here Songkran 2 years ago he found a nice lady who took care of his flaccid cock with her mouth while he reciprocated with his tongue. Everyone happy and no mess.

 

Shagging ain't everything in life. Honestly given a choice between incontinence and impotence I'd choose 'playing pool with a piece of rope every time.

My understanding is that it's a choice between incontinence and impotence (separately or together) vs a slow horrible death. That's an easier one for most.

 

What an old fogies thread this is.

You're right…….. I was looking on the bright side of my mate's 'lot'.

 

If funding for prostate research and education matched that of breast cancer a lot more of us would survive it.

To add a somewhat lighter touch to all this doom and gloom, Australian research some 10 years ago showed that emptying the tank frequently greatly lessens the chance of prostate cancer. Masturbation was mentioned.

So there you are gentlemen (Catholics excepted I suppose) - you are in the right place to avoid prostate cancer.

Wish everyone a long, happy and prostate-ful life!

Most Prostrate Cancers are the slowest growing of all the cancers (there are exceptions). Most men diagnosed with prostrate cancer if left alone will die of old age before the prostrate cancer kills them (exceptions do occur). The problem is medicine has become way to reliable at detecting prostrate cancer at it's early earliest onset. There is a huge debate when and how to treat prostrate cancer in the medical profession between aggressive treatment, to monitor and watch. It's very important to seek multiple (more than two) Medical opinions prior to radical treatment of prostrate cancer. Unless you enjoy incontinence and impotence.

What you say is true in the aged. Testosterone, which diminishes with age, has an impact on this cancer. If I am 70 I am more inclined to risk it but as you said there is no one type.

 

Guys who take testosterone therapy as they age have an increased risk of prostate cancer.

So now I have to tell the doctor to use 3 fingers to check my prostate?
