UPDATE: Surgery date schedule for April 20. Doing all my kegels. Nervous, but also very excited to have a plan. The surgeon thinks I may be able to drop the ADT fully after surgery. Obviously he won't know until post-procedure. It feels good to know what's next and get to the next (and almost certainly very manageable, whatever the result) chapter of this. One day this will be far in the rear view. Thanks for the thoughts and guidance on this thread.

@mark10517ny Best of luck going forward. I think you’d almost have to drop the ADT so that your post surgical PSA’s can be accurate. You’ll never know what the surgery accomplished if the results are masked by hormones, right?
I think you’ve really ‘hoped for the best and planned for the worst’ with your choice of surgery first so now it’s out of your hands.
Let the docs take care of you now and do what they do best…
