Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment

I was very worried after the surgery as it took a few months for surgeon to get the result that they think they got all the cancer.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

All the things that can go wrong and side effects was a worry, but after cathater removal and a couple weeks with pads lift slowly got back to normal.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Apart from the first 2 days when I wished I’d never agreed to surgery, I think it was the best decision we could have made.
