My husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. We saw the surgeon this morning at Mayo in AZ and he went over the biopsy. Of course, my husband was thinking of having RP. The surgeon said that he has a large prostate and more than likely they would have to sever the nerves that control the urine and he would have erectile disfunction. My husband is 73 and in good health other than the prostate cancer. The surgeon recommended radiation. We have an appointment at Mayo on Thursday. I'm glad you asked this question about driving. I am visually impaired and don't drive so listening to many of your replies, it gave me a little encouragement that he will be able to drive. I'm not sure what kind of radiation or hormone therapy will be discussed. He is in the middle of shingles and in a lot of pain. He has some big decisions to make very soon.
