1 week after radioactive seed implants

[Guest guest]

My husband had his radioactive seed implants last Monday. He is doing

great, I think...some burning when he urinates and still bruised

pretty badly and discomfort in the area of the prostate...but overall

great. He is most concerned that he had not been able to have an

erection. He's concerned that he will always be impotent. Any

encouragement out there? Should he be able to have an erection this

soon? If he can't, does that mean he won't ever be able to? One of his

reasons for electing this procedure was his hope of not becoming

impotent at age 52. I don't know what to tell him. Thanks for any

experiences you can share.
