Thanks JA for your encouraging reply. I have considered the implant as a last resource. I have been dealing with all sort of tumors since I was your age. At 29 I had my left testicle removed due to a non-seminomatous germ cell tumor which did not require chemo or radiation but I did have a retro-peritoneal lymph node dissection which created a long incision on my abdomen; I also had a vasectomy performed at that time. About 5 years ago I had my upper left pulmonary lobe removed due to a endocrine neuro-carcinoma tumor and about a year ago I had my prostate removed due to an adenocarcinoma. This was the one which left me almost penile crippled. Old Joe has not been the same since I had that catheter inserted for almost two weeks. I am looking forward to these Trimix injections but if they don't work, I am definitely going for the implant. My wife does not want me to undergo another surgery but I may not take her advise. I will keep you posted on how it goes...
