London post cancer surgery

[DoubleOstomate]

Hello all.
I had some radical cancer surgery in April, the total pelvic exontoration left me with two stomas (colostomy and urostomy) and no anus, prostate or penile bulb.
I’m getting used to the stoma bags and am recovering really well overall. But I miss having a working dick. My husband is really supportive but we are both beginning to miss the intimacy of fucking.
I’ll be looking through this site for information on vacuum pump to maintain size and for help understanding implant options.
I saw a London specialist today (Prof Ralph) and am toying up between private surgery (£15k in Jan) or NHS (free in 9-12 months).
I’m looking forward to reading about your experiences.

Welcome DoubleOstomate . I'm so sorry that you have gone though all of that, but it's great that you are coping and keen to get on with your life.
Yes, in my opinion do use a VED regularly pre-implant to maintain size and prevent penile atrophy/size loss.
Doing that should help with allowing implantation of the maximum sized cylinders that your anatomy can accept.
But please confirm this with your surgeon, especially considering the amount of work you have had done.
I'm not in the UK, so can't comment on the options there but there are other UK guys on here, and quite a few have gone through the NHS.
By all accounts that I've read Professor Ralph is probably the leading implant surgeon over there and very highly regarded.
Even my own uro surgeon in Sydney Australia is well aware of him, having studied in the UK.
I'm sure you will find plenty of relevant information on Franktalk. My own story to date is here if of any interest:
