Well it's been 4 weeks since my Bilateral castration. I only spent 1 day in the hospital. There was pain there for about 8 days but manageable. I don.t have any problems urinating. BUT my penis has shrunk over 50% of what it was before and diffently no feeling there. I will return to my doctor in 3 weeks for follow up to check my PSA levels. So I am hoping for the best since I gave up everything to lower it.

    Best of luck to you. May I ask what made you have the bilateral castration? Was the cancer metastasising or were you experiencing symptoms and s rising PSA?

      Actually I went to 2 doctors and both told ne that I was not eligable for pther surgeries and here in the Philippines the hamone theraph is very expensive and I could not afford it. My incontience was very bad urinating 290 times a day and not sleeping well. Also PC spread to bones and causing severe back pain. Even though I knew I could not have physical sex I still can have emotional sex with my wife. I just wanted to have a better chance of being around her a bit longer. So thats why.............
