I urge you to start Pelvic Floor PT BEFORE surgery.
I did, then resumed after the catheter was removed. I am one of those fully continent after surgery. My PT person was educated in these exercises (Baylor, Scott & White, Austin TX). She had some clients who only began PT after surgery and were having severe issues 4-6 months post-surgery.
Get & read the Dr Walsh book on surviving prostate cancer. Read all highlighted pages at each chapter beginning, read further in chapter if you feel the need.
Just start PT ASAP! Good Luck!
