The Big Guy

I am very sorry to hear about your loss.

Bumping. Says he is traveling to Dallas and Houston in December.

How does one get comfortable to give out personal info (e.g. non burner phone number) on a site like this? Seems risky but unless you are willing to expose yourself a bit, I don’t see how you progress a possible relationship.

I posted on prostate cancer one other time. This is a tough topic because each situation is different. In my case I could have safely delayed treatments because of my low Gleason score but elected radiation. Not everyone has that option. Now I can say that even though I can still get an erection and usually orgasm, it is not the same. I think the right question is “how long can I safely delay treatment?” I now wish I would have delayed treatment and had continued my sex life as before - even if it was for a little while. I know this is not directly responding to your question but I would delay treatment with consultation with my doc.

I had a low Gleason score and had several options available including watchful waiting. I opted for radiation as I was a bit frightened to wait. Looking back now, while I still can ejaculate after treatment, it takes a long time to cum and I miss producing semen and having to explain to partners that “yes I did cum”. If I could do it over, I would have waited longer for treatment. I realize that is no always an option and is a very personal decision. I applaud your effort to get other points of view. Best wishes.
