High-volume surgeons no better at reducing postoperative incontinence (After radical prostatectomy)

I wouldn’t say that. He chose radical prostatectomy - as many do. Most say that is the #1 most successful way to address prostate cancer.

He’s in the 1/3rd in whom the cancer returns - regardless of the procedure.

He is a dear man of God who is suffering greatly. Pray for him. Rob is his name.

I had a good surgeon. Very little problem regaining continence after a few months.

My problem now is easy emptying.

I am finding boron at 20 mg a day (Upper Tolerable Limit) and DIM 300 seem to do as well or better than my prior nettle root extract and pygeum extract. I would say all of that together does a fine job, but I wanted to try a mineral and veggie approach over the other two items.

See if those could help with your symptom.

This is a long shot, but may not have terrible side effects if taken for just eight weeks:

Boron supplementation inhibits the growth and local expression of IGF-1 in human prostate adenocarcinoma (LNCaP) tumors in nude mice

The amount used was 1.7 mg per kilogram of weight, per day.

He would want to talk with his doctor, as the Upper Tolerable Limit is 20 mg/day.

A lady on FR takes over a 100 mg a day, multiple days a week, and sees no issue with it.
