It has been 6 weeks since I had robotic total prostate removal. Path report and first visit since catheter was removed is in about 2 weeks. I am interested in communicating with others who have been though this to discuss things like bladder leakage, sexual activity etc. 72 years old and otherwise healthy.

  • Hello  A warm welcome to the online Prostate Cancer Community.

    I am Brian and i hang around the Community - I have gone down the HT/RT treatment pathway so can't answer your question, however I noticed your post hasn't had any replies and by me replying it will be "bumped up" to the top of the forum and I hope you will receive many replies.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi Roselover,

    He's one of the characters in an old movie from 1949 - The Third Man.  No, I'm not that old lol, but remember seeing it on TV many times

  • Hi It74me

    Welcome to the forum. I had my prostate removed three and a half months ago. Happy to chat about these and any other matters. If you'd rather talk about them privately rather than on the open forum, feel free to message me.

    Last week I received a couple of videos from my hospital. To be honest, I could have done with them before or just after surgery rather than now, but they may be of interest.

    My first hospital (telephone) appointment for Andrology is next week so I might find out a bit more then.

    All the best.

  • A great film - it has withstood the test of time https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Man both as a film and a short novel. Harry Lime is a shadowy figure central to a thriller set in post war Vienna, and the most famous scene reveals... Ah but that would be a spoiler! Well worth a watch!
