After lots of back and forth on options ny husband elected for robot assisted prostatectomy done mid June at Mayo Rochester. Post surg pathology was all great news. Recovery has been good regarding incontinence. We think he's had very little issue because he's done exercises for years for low back pain. These basically strengthen his core and pelvic area and are similar to kegels. Normal peeing, up maybe once at night. Wears a thin pad daily for reassurance but is usually dry. Carries cough drops in his pocket as that is the one trouble trigger. The 3 month PSA was another piece of good news at less than .10, basically non-existent. Best of luck to all you guys. This has been a tough journey. We are feeling so grateful for answered prayers and so much loving support.

Delighted your husband is making great progress after his RP. I’m scheduled for RP at Mayo Rochester in late October. Such comfort for me to read this post. I’m anxious but not scared, probably more impatient than anything else to get it done. I work out regularly, at least 2x week so my core is reasonably strong. Were there any other things your husband did the month before surgery to prepare himself? Thank you and continued good health for you both.
