Prostate Cancer

I must say that I do not agree with your assessment that the robot cuts out everything around the prostate including the nerves. All of my doctors including my surgeon who was operating the machine told me that the robot was the best nerve sparing and the least invasive with the quickest recovery.

My Urologist did say that if they open you up like gutting a pig then yes they could possibly spare the nerves.

Anyway it goes I certainly am glad that your dad came out okay which is what I wish for any of us that have to go through this experience. And I am certainly predjuce on the robot thing since that is the route that I have taken. I was forturnate that my surgeon was also an instructor on the procedure and had already performed more that 300 procedures.

Best of luck for all. Survival of cancer is the most important result with the ability to push a clutch pedal and gas pedal at will second.
