Radical Prostatectomy in 2001 and that was my choice to have it removed. RP was the only choice over here- other than Radiography- at that time. Didn't fancy the radiology. The "keyhole" surgery that is available now is said to be just as effective but you recover a lot quicker and do not have the incontinence or Impotence liability that occurs after RP.

Took about 3 months to get fully over surgery but a full 8 weeks before I could sit on a saddle. (But that was RP) But I was able to do things for myself after a couple of days- including driving.

So hope for a good prognosis and I am sure that many more will chip in and wish you all the best.
