@hammer101 Jim, THANK YOU!!! You're the ONLY one that has reached out to me following RP that, to be blunt, hasn't scared the shit out of me. Being young, fit, and healthy, (except for the cancer obviously), it's difficult for me to embrace RP when it's highly probable that my healthy sex life with my wife will be dramatically and permanently altered. Sorry if I crossed a line with sharing to much, but this is near and dear to my heart.
Due to my individual circumstances, Mayo has stated that RP is my only viable option, so it doesn't really matter what my feelings are, this is what I NEED to do. So I'd much rather go in knowing permanent ED is not inevitable.
My highest goal is life for 30+ additional years free of prostate cancer, with erectile function 2nd, and continence 3rd. (I know, it's pretty messed up that continence is 3rd on my list, but it is.)
I'm a fighter, so I'll do whatever I have to do to make a successful recovery.
Thanks again. Sincerely.

@cxracer Just curious as to why Mayo said that an RP is your only viable option. If I may ask, why isn't some radiation plan able to work for you?
