Unfortunate that you have prostate cancer but good for you for taking a path forward. To the post above, 8 days is not a lot of time, so please make sure you have given yourself ample time to understand your health situation, talk with family/friends/trusted-people and play out the various scenarios. Time is in your side, prostate cancer is generally slow growing, so if you need some extra time, don't feel as if you have to operate right this moment.
