Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Radical prosectomony. No sex life. No erection.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Strong Advice from consultant. I also read a book by the founder of the operation in America. My Gleason score was 9 and stage 3a so I needed radical removal. I was 58 so young enough to bear it.
