My surgery was 10 weeks ago. The catheter came out after 11 days, and I was back to work after 3 weeks. Incontinence remains the biggest issue but I'm increasing kegels to address that. It was my first major surgery and it appears it all went well. I'm 3 weeks from the follow up PSA and appointment. Be confident. Considering everyone here is a cancer patient/survivor, I've seen a lot of success stories.

Agnostic1, congratulations on the successful surgery! As with our treatments and paths, I think, so too are our successes. I was fortunate to have caught mine “early” and, since my surgery in Sept 2023, good things have followed the initial bad news. I just had a follow-up PSA - undetectable again - and my surgeon/urologist pushed my next blood work out a year saying he’s hopeful our early detection allowed me to nip this thing. 🫰🙏
I’m now irritating my friends with my repeated encouragement to throw in the PSA test with any blood work they have done. It’s cheap and can make a huge difference.
Now turn your thoughts to the positive thinking that, I believe, can only help. We’re blessed, anosmic1!
