I am so sorry to hear about your diagnostic. The good news is that it seems your PC is contained and did not spread outside the prostate according to the info you gave. I know you will find it hard to believe but it is good news because it is curable which is wonderful!
I do not know much about prostatectomy because my husband PC is spread outside and therefore surgery was not an option.
In the next few hours you will get many replies from the good people on this form that had surgery and sharing there experiences. You will learn here that many people went through surgery and have totally normal full and active life after that.
Please feel free to ask any questions. This community here is like a family. We all going through similar problems and motions and you will find nonjudgmental and unlimited support here. You will also find a lot of knowledge and kindness.
Thank you for responding Dafna. I found your response comforting. I hope your husband is doing well. I realise that it’s been spotted early and there’s things that can be done.
Support and hope to all others who are suffering from cancer of any type.
Also have you spoken to someone about brachytherapy, it is usual for a surgeon to suggest a radical prostatectomy but you do have other options and I would explore and understand them before making your excision explore them all before you decide, your stats are quite low so you have time to research and make an informed decision
