Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

After the operation, it took 6 weeks of pelvic floor exercises for me to control urination and about another 12 weeks to be completely confident about it

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

It worked totally and 15 years after the operation, I have never had any detectable PSA. I was cured by the operation.
