Thank all of you who have responded with your insight and advice. Sorry it’s been late to respond sooner but I’m currently dealing with a intraventricular conduction issue in my heart requiring a cardiologist. Not exactly great timing but the heart issue is taking precedence before any decision on method of cancer treatment. Thanks again everyone, I’ll check back in later with an update.

My husband had an ICD implanted 3 1/2 years ago. It has brought him out of v-tach at least a dozen times since then. He has been on degarelix for the last 15 months (Gleason 8). My best to you!

Sorry to hear about your heart issue. I agree with hammer101. If you find a surgeon who has done hundreds of these you should be in good shape. I was 60 yo in good health when i had my RALP. Fully continent after catheter came out 8 days later. I did get a script from Surgeon for Pelvic PT after surgery just to male sure I was doing Kegels correctly. Youcould ask for the same but before your chosen treatment. Also if u have belly fat try to shed some weight before surgery as that supposedly helps the procedure be more successful. Good luck with everything. Surgery for me was quite a bit easier than I thought.
