@heavyphil Dang-you got the gift of hammering points in one whack!
• Ham handed surgeons-no thank you-that would be terrifying! Bad joke back atcha: Why did the ham go to the doctor. It wanted to be cured. (ouch, sorry)
•Regret cutting deeper than any scapel - dang, so true, I talked with a fellow yesterday who has lived with 16 years of regret and anger. Definitely hurting.
I'm in a better place now. But, dang, I think in this case they forgot just how fragile /stressed people can be when they pull the rug out from under you when you think you might have it figured out and surgery is imminent.

@fritzo Glad to hear it! And don’t obsess over the nuts and bolts of # of ports, incisions, etc.
If you picked a really good surgeon, he does what works best for him and gives the results that work best for you.
Remember, you have CANCER. Getting it all out is paramount. I told my surgeon that he should not equivocate between trying to cure me and trying to keep my erections - there was NO contest in my mind.
Others, perhaps, focus on SE’s and they are important too, but don’t lose sight of the forest for the trees -
- when you wake up you want to hear the words “we got it all” and everything else is just gravy.
