@surftohealth88 Hi everyone, I'm post surgery and doing OK. Dealing with a lot of abdomen pain and rolling bladder cramps coming in hard and fast, so I've totally been off the grid.

The good news is the surgery went incredibly well, my care teams has been so kind and I'm so humbled by everyone who has reached out-including my family here.

Surgeon said surgery was nerve sparing on both sides, cancer was contained within the prostate and they left the lymph nodes because he saw nothing concerning. There center at Northwestern is really an amazing setup.

I know abdomen/cramp pain is variable for patients (other fellow I passed in the hall did't suffer from much), but it's getting slowly better.

I'll share more hopefully tomorrow.

Yeayyyyy !!! : )))) I am so happy for you 🙌 ! Every new day you will feel exponentially better 😃. Belly cramping will get better fast - gas is just moving from abdominal area into the guts and trying to escape, try to walk as often as you can, it helps a lot with gas dissipating and also "passing" - don't hold it in due to shyness since it is important to release it. Super fantastic news about cancer being contained and sparing both sets of nerves too ! Now you can finally relax and concentrate on your rest and healing : ))) !

Wishing you super fast recovery and zero pain tomorrow. 💗
