Hi.
I have been diagnosed with intermediate prostate cancer and I've been told that active surveillance is not a safe option for me. After lots of research and discussion I have decided to opt for the robotic assisted prostatectomy and I'm hoping to have this surgery in November.
I would really appreciate information from anyone who has had this operation and how the surgery went, recovery and all the other things like side effects.
Many Thanks
Hi Adam
It's good to hear that the catheter removal is pain free, I've been thinking that it wouldn't be. Good news too regarding the incontinence and hopefully it will improve further very soon.
