Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Sexual function. Reduction in amount of exercise (I usually do A LOT of cycling, swimming and running) in the weeks immediately following the operation.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I’m still waiting for my 8 week follow up, but on assumption I get all clear I’ll have no regrets. Even if it turns out I need further chemo / radio therapy (hopefully not) I’ll still think I made the right decision to go for removal because on my comparatively young age.
