I am 48. Had a G3+4, PSA 4.1, Small Volume Tumor. I had a RARP last July 16th. Today (07.Aug) I am feeling very good. No incontinence, going to work everyday and walking 2 miles in the morning. The surgery was really not a big deal ... the catheter is annoying, but the pain was completely tolerable without medication. The only complication I had was a bacterial infection from the catheter (found in the urine test after removing the catheter) that was treated with 7 days antibiotics and now cleared. So, as you are young and have many years ahead of you, I would really consider the RARP with an experienced surgeon.

Thank you, Alex, for your recommendation about RARP - your recovery sounds quite encouraging, and I hope your road to recovery continues to be remarkable and complete.
