I almost finished reading the book “Life after prostate cancer”.
Overall it is a good book to learn and understand how it works but it is meant for people who will have surgery in 4-6 weeks. It is like pre- Op preparation. I wish I would have read it prior to my surgery.
I agree to certain degree that you want to drink a lot of water but not sure if I would drink water during the night. One day I tried and my night was ruined. I woke up 5-6 times to go to bathroom.
She does have a good point that you don’t want the bladder to shrink otherwise your frequency to go to bathroom will be very high.
One has to balance based on your body and condition.

@eshan Yeah, that's a good description of that book; pre-op guide for various treatment options. I'm not saying the book swayed me to surgery, I was already thinking in those terms. When my Decipher score showed up at .61 and the radiation oncologist said he recommended six months of hormone therapy, I was like, surgery here I come. Did not want to start with hormone therapy unless I need it later.
Yeah, water drinking...going have to balance what my body says for sure.
I'm now four weeks from surgery. ...
