My situation is very similar to yours. After consulting with two different urologists, I will be having the surgery next month. They both agreed that this was the best option. To avoid repeating, the responses you have above pretty much summarize mine as well. One of my relatives had his removed 15 years ago and has had no problems at all. When I talked to him he recommended I get it removed. He said the possibility of wearing a diaper for years if that happens is better than dying. Hard to argue that point. My doctor said I’ll be good as new in 6-8 weeks. 🤞🙏The most important thing is to have a really good feeling about the doctor you choose. Best of luck.
