Surgery Update:
Hi Everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday. Hubby had a very successful robotic prostatectomy surgery on Dec 24th - all nerves saved with good margins. We still have a long road ahead but he’s home, handling catheter well & has a great attitude. Of course pain at the surgical sites but is handling it well. Thank you to everyone for your advice and for sharing your personal stories- truly appreciate it! 😊 Ready to recover & continue the fight in 2025.
Best to all of you!

You're back! And it all went well.
That's the major part over. Nerve-sparing & good margins sounds great.

The hard part - make him sit down & stay down.
No lifting or trying to help you at all. He's the patient.
It may be up to 6 weeks of doing nothing. It'll drive him nuts.
But that's why Netflix was invented.

Keep us posted with any updates, questions or just to vent.
