Welcome to Connect, @jogger01. I'm tagging several members, like @ch665296f @steve_b @palevsky @predictable @alanr @markhouldsworth who have first hand experience with a prostatectomy, in the hopes that they will join you in this discussion and offer suggestions for being prepared.

Jogger, will you be having robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, open radical prostatectomy or laparoscopic radical prostatectomy?

The plan is for a robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. My Gleeson score was 7 and PSA 35.7. A bone scan did not reveal any spread of the cancer. I am 54 and very active with excercise and have a healthy diet. No family history of the disease. Surgery seems to be best option after review my situation. Thanks.
