I have somethime better than Viagra

THE EFFECTS OF CHEMO AND HAVING AN IMPLANT

 

 

The end of October we planned a trip to Alabama for my nephew's wedding. My Oncologist told us to go and "have a good time." He offered a prescription for Viagra. I told him, "Doc I have something better than Viagra." He asked what? I told him about the implant. He smiled and said for us to "have a good time." WE DID !!!

 



 When I was released from the hospital I had a drain in my side and home health nurses for about 6 weeks. When I started chemo I could hardly walk and had to use a wheel chair. After getting the nausea under control I started to feel some better. The chemo also caused severe anemia. 

 

When I had moments that I felt a little better I began to inflate my implant. Daily inflation gave me a feeling of being normal again. My primary doctor also kept my testosterone level high to help.

 

Let me say it loud and clear. Being able to have an erection gave me strength and hope. A loving and caring wife also made a big difference.  Thanks to the implant we were able to start back making love after a few weeks. My wife did everything to make me feel wanted and needed. I was and am very weak and she made sure I had enough stimulation for intercourse.

 

Bottom Line: After almost a year my energy level is low and the anemia keeps me down. The "chemo effect" can come over me most any time and take all my strength. That said every night I can inflate my implant and feel normal. Our sex life has returned to almost normal (4-6 times a month.) The love and care I receive from my Beautiful Green Eyed Wife has been an important part of my recovery. 

 

Having the implant keeps our love life normal. Without it I doubt I could function.

 

Yes I follow my own advice and inflate my implant every day. Being able to have an erection is both emotionally and physically healing.

 

I have not posted on the blog for some time. I keep getting emails and am glad that I am now able to answer them and answer your questions.  I will have "maintenance chemo", with breaks, to keep the cancer from coming back and/or spreading. For me the fact I have the implant keeps me feeling normal.

UPDATE

I have not posted here since February when I was diagnosed with cancer in the lining of my left lung. I have been undergoing intense chemo and now glad to report that my cancer no longer shows up on x-ray or CT. My last chemo was October 30. I will now have maintenance chemo starting January 8th. The chemo has left me very anemic and I had to have 2 units of blood twice. The break in chemo will give me a chance to recuperate.

At first I was not able to respond to email's but I have for the last several weeks. If I missed yours or anything I can do to help please send me an email again. My email is jwp104@att.net

To my friends that have sent me regards and prayed for me I thank you from the bottom of my heart. PRAYER WORKS :-)

Loss of Penile Size

The number one complaint heard by urologist from men with peyronies is loss of penile size. It also happens with men that underwent prostate cancer surgery and other surgeries. It is very emotional for men. This is an article I published on a forum a couple of years ago.

Lost Penile Size

We guys obsess about our penis our ladies are just glad to be with us no matter what. Like I have told many a young man “The size of your penis does not make you a man.”

The beautiful green-eyed lady I have been married to over 45 years, (no she is not blond), has been with me through all my journey with peyronies, venous leakage, corporal fibrosis. Then a failed implant attempt. Now a successful implant. The one statement she made still brings joy to my life. “Jack, I did not marry you for your penis.” She was by my side through my journey.

I lost over 1-½ inches to peyronies. It concerned me but never bothered her. When I came out of surgery at Vanderbilt she had already talked with Dr. Milam. I saw that gleam in those beautiful green eyes and knew all was well.

The first night I was home after my implant was activated I lay on my back with a hard on sticking straight up, no pills, no shots just me. I was still 1 ½ “ shorter than before peyronies but it did not matter anymore.

Over the last 5 years I have been able to gain about 90% of the loss back because of the skills of Dr. Milam and the LGX. I asked her how if felt sexually now than before. She told me she never noticed the difference I feel just the same as always.

Guys, we have to stop obsessing over our problems. The women that love us don’t care about the size or shape of our penis. That is a man thing. They love us for the man we are.

I have had the privilege of talking with many men that have progressed to the stage I have with this mess I have. One single young man kept telling me I can’t a girl will reject me. I can’t I have lost too much size to satisfy her, just on and on. Well 2 months ago (November 2011) he meets a young lady and it was love at first sight for her. One evening after a date he was with her and she started trying to get in his pants. He told her WHOA!! You need to know something. She asked what? He told her “I’m Bionic.” She asked what did that mean; he briefly told her he had an implant. She told him I don’t care I want you anyway.

That night he learned a couple of things. The fact he had an implant did not matter, the size of his penis did not matter, that he could satisfy her and he could go longer than any guy his age. Since then they have been almost constant companions.

What I am trying to say is we cannot let this damn disease get us down. There is help and hope for all of us. Love the lady you are with and she will give you more than you ever expected. The most important thing is NEVER – EVER / NEVER – EVER / NEVER – EVER EVER GIVE UP.

Just my feeling this morning.
