Newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and still gathering information

I have to admit it is a lot of information coming at you at one time. The second doctor I saw shared much more information than the first, I don’t know why he didn’t but just wanted to schedule a surgery. Scared me off for sure. I am deeply concerned, another way of saying scared, I’m 65 years old and still have a lot of life I want to live

I'm 60 and I'm scared as well. I'm having some anxiety about my surgery but I know it's necessary. I don't want the incontinence afterward and I'm going to do the necessary PT exercises etc to regain control of my bladder. Your Dr. might have wanted to schedule surgery that quickly due to the fact that it's a process with insurance etc. and takes a while. They might have wanted to schedule it in advance so that you could get a spot quicker etc. and more from a logistic standpoint then a disease standpoint. I wish that I could get my surgery quicker, but I'm stuck with my date due to the number of people in line ahead of me for the same surgery.
