Dondd - Don does diapers

I am a big proponent of "Do what works for you". Bottom taper here, but only because that works for me. Top taping may be best for someone else, no matter how wrong it is! 😉

Kind of. I have a subscription with @LLMedico.com for Better Dry Day, my daily diaper. Then I buy Better Dry by the case as needed for nightly use. For me, this arrangement works well.

Hope you get some relief and resolution soon!

Today I got my shot of testosterone blocker and a new pill to take so we are off to the races, so to speak. Thanks to all of you who chimed in with words of encouragement and offers of support. These help! And I am in a much better state of mind today.

Not really news, but I will say it again. Cancer sucks. Allow me to begin by stating that I am one lucky man. I've now had cancer twice. First, basal cell carcinoma. And now, prostate cancer. An aggressive type, but caught very early If one had to choose what cancer to get, these are perhaps the two most manageable, curable, and offer an exceptionally high percentage of survival. Again, I am a lucky man. Tomorrow I transition from diagnosis to treatment as I begin hormone therapy in preparation for eventual radiation sessions. Total treatment time is expected to be about six months. At five years there is a 98+% chance of remaining cancer free. The doctors tell me that 20 to 30 years on down the line (65 years old now) I will probably die of anything other than this cancer. No doubt, I am in for some uncomfortable times. Thankfully, no Chemo (capitalization intended as Chemo is devastating to the human body, despite the possible positive outcomes) as my PSA is low enough to suggest that the cancer is still encapsulated in my prostate. Again, lucky. Here is my issue today. I do not fear the treatment, though it will be anything but fun. And the outlook for the long term is quite positive. Still, anxiety, moodiness, and depression seem to be here and getting worse rapidly. The doctor told me that this is normal later in the treatment process. I am a little alarmed that it is happening already and with such overwhelming strength. I have a very supporting wife, family, and friends. Regardless, it may be necessary to talk to the doctors and possibly increase my anxiety meds or otherwise address these feelings. Has anyone here gone through this? Any words of wisdom that you can share would be appreciated!

Recently went smooth. First by trimming with a beard trimmer. Might have been my inexperience, but nicked and cut myself the first few times and never really felt like the hair was short enough even though I was using the closest setting/comb. Moved on to a razor soon after and love it! Yes, I've had a couple of nicks. But nothing as severe as with the trimmer. I feel cleaner, smell better, and generally more satisfied without pubic hair. Considering depilatories as a next step, though my wife is of the opinion that they may burn me. Any suggestions? Nair? Veet? Other?

I agree with John's assessment - that is what I use every day and night.

Very much an anxiety management situation for me as well. Those rare times I need to be without become more and more stressful as time goes on. Then, so relieving when I can diaper up again.

I have a subscription at LLMedico for Better Dry Day cases and order cases of Better Dry as needed. They come in a big white box with a shipping label and a manufacturer's label. Other than the product designation for each - L7 and L10 - nothing can be read from a distance. I am happy with both the products and company. I will continue to use them going forward.

My reaction would be centered on why I found myself in the hospital! Underwear/diapers would be a secondary, or perhaps tertiary, concern at that point.

This is a wonderful story that I am enjoying quite a lot! There is one feature that makes following the progress somewhat difficult, however. His/her, she/he are used interchangeably throughout the story and without respect to the character's gender. I offer this simply as constructive criticism, and hope you continue this delightful tome.

Happy Birthday, Mike!

Nice short stories! Thanks.

Been rough for us snowbirds in the Arizona desert. Highs have only been in the upper 50's and low 60's (°F) the last couple of weeks. Low 70's now...
