@survivor5280 Thank you, survivor5280, for your valuable input!

I have been on Active Surveillance for two and a half years, and now it's definitely time to get this thing out of my body. The last biopsy was enough to show me that I have truly inherited this disease from my poor father, who died a painful death years ago. Poor guy didn't have the technology at that time.

I am having RARP on Feb. 4, and have been doing my pre-op Physical Therapy for a week to build up the Pelvic Floor muscles. I appreciate the positive attitude from you, as mine has been the same. I will continue to work it, just like other surgeries I've had in the past.

Again, thanks for your story!

@scottfish
Hang in there
I am just about a year post RARP. It has been a difficult recovery, much of which I did not expect. However, in the end I would go through it all again to have a good shot at longevity and keeping cancer at bay.

Sometimes we have to do our best at getting ready and then just let things take their own course

I really wish you the best.
