How to deal with catheter while recovering after prostate surgery?

I was hoping for active surveillance, but the combination of my unfavorable intermediate risk NCCN category based on the pathology report, combined with a high genomic GPS score made it very risky not to seek definitive treatment now. If I had a very low GPS score (say, less than 20), I would have probably decided on active surveillance.

Key is Inside the prostate or outside and how aggressive it is. Ultimately it is your decision and life. We all have to count our blessings and calculate our risks and age is also a factor. I feel blessed to still be standing with continence after going on 17 years. All the best wishes and best of luck.
