Prostate Cancer

I hit 40 this year. I saw my doc yesterday with just a normal visit (diabetes) but the doc never mentions things like this.

We're men here so lay it on the line.... lol

Exactly how is the digital test performed? If anything I will know what to look forward to and want have any surprises.

After the prostate is removed does your "man hood" go with it? No more nuky?? The reason I ask is my friend had his removed and he was a pitiful thing after that. I didn't want to ask exactly what they did because he wasn't taking so well.

Ax', my dad his his removed from prostate cancer.
he is alive and well, strong as a friggin ox at 74 yrs old, but yes he can no longer get a boner if that's what you are asking.
It did put a crimp in his style for sure and he is frustrated that he can no longer use Mr wiggles, but he does have the peace of mind knowing that the trade off was worth his life.
His biggest battle now is diabetes- he is a mess with that stuff big time.

He choked at a restaurant during a low sugar attack and was whisked to the hospital.
The doctor said it took seven men to hold him down to try to remove whatever was in his throat even after they gave him something to calm him down.
They said he was the strongest SOB they ever dealt with...ha, ha...Viking blood runs deep in the family.
