Thoughts on treatment options?

In brief, diagnosed Gleason 4+3 at 59 in Dec 2025. Retzius, single incision RALP Jan 2026. I chose the surgery for a few reasons. I am working and radiation would be most disruptive for work and I would need ADT with my risk being higher at 4+3. Wanted to avoid ADT. Otherwise, I would likely have had radiation. Surgery was very successful. Currently undetectable. No real lack of continence, except a bit of stress incontinence which resolved in less than two weeks after catheter. Natural return of erectile function progressing 7 mos post surgery. Utilize Trimix for sexual intercourse. I have zero regrets and am very grateful 🙏🏽. There is no right way, but this was best for me. Hope this helped a bit.

@tattodice glad to hear things worked out for you.
I’m having trouble trying to figure out what facilities offer the best nerve sparring options like Retzius.
Were you in a similar situation of just happen to already be involved with a facility that offered this?
