It's Official I have Prostate Cancer

Mine was UCHealth in Highlands Ranch Colorado. My doctor was one of the first adopters of the DaVinci robot and is one of the top robotic surgeons in the country.

Interesting history: the same doctor used the same robot to remove my kidney and then used the same incisions from 2014 for my prostatectomy. So no new scars. I thought that was cool he could do that.

I do believe working hard on fitness and pelvic floor strength ahead of time was a game changer. For me I never even felt different and I don't feel as though I can hold my bladder for less time than before. Quite literally I can sense or detect no change whatsoever between pre and post op. I was prepared for the sensation of holding or releasing your bladder to be significantly different, but it hasn't been.

This is all to say that when you do regain continence and have a strong pelvic floor then you won't hardly even know anything happened. Keep working on the kegels!
