My father died of prostate cancer. He was in a lot of pain when he died.
He had radiation so I decided to have surgery. I was 62. Four days after surgery, I drove to three clients offices to work on their computer issues. All I needed was Tylenol for the pain. Four days later, I went back to work full-time. My work didn’t require me to do heavy lifting just sitting down at Computers and fixing issues.
You are young, so you probably will feel better very quickly.
I had to wait two weeks to get my catheter out, I had no incontinence after it was removed. Most people have some so you should have pads in case that happens.
Are they sparing the nerves when you are having your surgery? That can enable you to get erections more easily. If you don’t know, ask the doctor.
Make sure you can be very comfortable in the car When going home after surgery. I found that sitting in a seat was very uncomfortable, even with it reclined. Being able to lie down in the back with blankets and pillows will be real helpful.

Thank you Jeff, for your comments The Hospital is about two hours away. The Dr wants me to stay in the hospital for 3 days due to the distance of travel. I work in an office and can do most of my duties from home. I will definitely ask my Dr about the sparing of the nerves
