Side Effects (Nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy)): I had a small bit of neuropathy in 1 big toe prior to chemotherapy, probably due to type II Diabetes. Half way through chemo, neuropathy extended to the balls of both feet and continues to this date 19 months after chemo treatment ended.

Side Effects (Loss of erection but not orgasm): Because of decrease in prostate size during chemotherapy, surgeon was able to include "nerve sparing" as part of the procedure. Even with regular dosages of Cialis, erection is still not possible, but XXX is consistently possible.

Side Effects (Incontinence (cannot control urine)): Did not have incontinence problem immediately after surgery. But just over a year later started to have some problems. Oncologist believes that having BPH so many years prior to surgery probably weakened muscles. Also, weight gain of 20 pounds since surgery may be causing additional bladder pressure.
