Woodturner, you're very fortunate. I pumped at least 5 times/week in my 3.5 years post RP, but still lost an inch before implant. Then another 1.5" post implant. I have to conclude my surgeon put in tubes that were way too short.

Just my experience here, and I seem to have been 'short-changed' compared to other guys on this site, but I lost 1.5" from my VED length, and much girth too. From 6 to 4.5. And I was 7 before cancer surgery... I'm the amazing shrinking man.

This morning I was cleaning old junk on my computer when I came across a bunch of XXX pix with my former GF from 5 years ago, before cancer surgery and implant. Without going into detail I'll just say that I'm now not much more than half of what I used to be. Despite the hardness I just can't get ha...

TC, thank you for your compassion. It makes me feel a little ashamed for complaining so much. I know many men have died from prostate cancer, yet I have zero PSA 3.5 years post PC surgery and am told I'm cured. So I am thankful for that. I made out much better than many men. But unlike most PC surge...

RR & TC, I appreciate your pep talks. I just want to know why, with a vacuum pump the night before surgery, I was able to be twice as thick and 1.5" longer than after the implant. I need to know why this happened. Other men have checked in with a little smaller or a little bigger than befor...

I'm not happy. I lost an inch after prostate cancer surgery, and now have lost another 1.5" after the implant. Lost much girth too. I am extremely depressed over this. I have put dating on hold because I'm ashamed to whip out my skinny 4.5 incher. I think my surgeon put in tubes that were way t...

Well Nick, evidently you got the message that you couldn't do both. The implant surgery is very uncomfortable for weeks afterwards. I'm now 7 weeks out and finally starting to feel somewhat comfortable with all the surgical disruptions. I'd be OK traveling now, but not much sooner. I think you made ...

Men, thanks again, you guys are great. Blending stark realism with humor and encouragement... thank you so much! Blessing to you guys. Gotta keep this short, I'm going in the bathroom now to pump, and pump and pump some more! If I have to go out to my workshop and stick my balls in the vice, I'm gon...

Men, thanks for sharing your stories and for the encouraging words. I'd like to look at this as 'misery loves company', except that none of you guys are miserable with your "little situation". I'm the only one and I guess I'll need to get over it. Gonna take awhile tho. I'm so embarrassed ...

Before prostate cancer surgery I was a hair under 7". After that surgery and before my implant, using a vacuum pump I was down to 6", but pretty thick. Now, one week after activation, I'm a skinny 4.5". So I've lost 2.5" in 4 years and NOT happy about it. I feel like a little boy...
