Great advice above and glad you are reaching. I have only a few items to add:
1. I would recommend double checking the time requirement between initial biopsy and radical prostatectomy. I was told at Mayo-Rochester that 6 weeks was required after the biopsy to allow for the prostate to heal from the needle insertions/samples taken. I am not medically trained, so I have no data to support this statement. However, this requirement was logical to me, thus I did not push back. I had 19 samples taken during the biopsy and it makes sense that you would want the prostate to be healed and in minimally inflamed, not bleeding during the surgery. The last thing I would want is for cancer to get out during the surgery because the prostate was not solidified - This is probably a totally ignorant assessment, but was my thinking when told I had to wait 6 weeks :)...

2. The biggest challenge for me related to the catheter (#1), referred shoulder pain (#2) and constipation (#2). The should pain was referred pain from gas (used during surgery) pushing on the diaphragm. As long as I was not sitting or standing there was not pain. This took about 4 days to subside.

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery and hope all goes well!!
