i have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and am due to have Radiacal prostate surgery early November. The prospect of potency and incontinence is giving me extreme anxiety and is getti g to the point i am considering not doing it and opting for monitoring as alternative.
Hello JMPL2bf731
A warm welcome to the group although I am sorry to find you here.
There may well be alternatives to surgery - Active Surveillance, Radiotherapy, Hormone Therapy and Brachytherapy however to enable us give you some help and advice are you able to give us some details from your diagnosis:
Gleason Score - TNM Numbers and PSA readings and any other test results (MRI / Bone Scan) you may have had.
Once we have the above, we will have a better idea.
Best wishes - Brian.
