    Thank you for the reply. I must have gone through the same process as you two. I decided on surgery, the cancer was just on one side so it was possible to save half the nerves. One thing I find incredible is that I had no pain at all from the surgery, the catheter did start to cause me problems after seven days. I had the catheter removed on Monday 26th April, today (1st May) has probably been my best day. I have leaked a little bit but not much at all. If I get back to normal in two months I will be over the moon.
