Had surgery today

Ok guys, fresh from the Operating Room, home in my bed watching television. No prostate so hoping no problems. So far so good

It's good to hear from you. Be sure to keep us informed of your progress. For me, every day was a little bit better than the last. Once the catheter came out I improved relatively quickly. In fact, I had to consciously force myself to not try to do too much too quickly. I strictly followed my doctors instructions after surgery and it worked out well for me. Hang in there and Best Wishes!

Thank you, I’m sure everyone has that moment when they have to choose which route to take when dealing with this cancer. Speaking now from experience I can tell you that the initial surgery can be compared to having a double hernia repair. Abdominal pain is manageable, I will pass more along as things develop 🤣

Likewise good to hear from you! 🙂 I hope your recovery goes well and you recover quickly. When you get that Cath out your recovery will zip along. Update the forum with your recovery, path report, etc. We are here for you!

Day 2. Didn’t sleep much last night and vomited about 4 this morning. I guess that’s pretty normal but. Other than that things are going pretty good. Still have the abdominal pain but hopefully that will get better in the next few days

Wow, straight home from surgery? That must be a good sign! Rest up, only the first few days to a week are iffy, the rest is easier!
