This is his Country or State Flag

Bobby P lives in Alabama, USA. He was 52 when he was diagnosed in April, 2010. His initial PSA was 9.11 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 8, and he was staged T3a. His initial treatment choice was Surgery (Robotic Laparoscopic Prostatectomy) and his current treatment choice is None. Here is his story.

THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2016 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

I found out on my 52nd birthday and I had surgery 5 weeks later. Two years later my PSA went up and I had 39 radiation treatments and got a normal PSA. One year later I got divorced. Now I'm near the 5 year mark life to me is useless. I'm depressed to the max. I don't look forward to another day or anything. I feel useless, worthless and incomplete. I have no sex life, constant urine dripping, I'm just an empty shell of a man with no desire for life. Nothing that I enjoy doing. How do find a new sex partner after all this? I would be too embarrassed. If I had it to do over, I would not have had the surgery or radiation or any treatment the Dr said the surgery was necessary. Because of my past of 9.11 and a Gleason score of 8 after him and my wife caring my about cancer, I agreed to the surgery which left me useless and incomplete if I had it to do over I would keep my quality of life over living like I do now no life. I'm single, disabled, piss on myself, no sex and depressed to the point of no return. I don't give a damn if I ever wake up or take another breath. I'm at the 5 year mark since surgery and it seems to be darker and a deeper blue cloud if this is all I have to look forward to. l don't fit in. I would just as soon be dead. Is there anyone else with this condition? If there is please tell me how to manage it because I'm lost.

Men my age (57) are not only faced with the fear of this BS returning to destroy us but the worst enemy I have had is depression, what you have lost and can never have again really works on a man's mind.
