Bert,
Thanks for your reply. It is very encouraging to hear that your surgery went so well. Most people are telling me that I am crazy to not take advantage of the Da Vinci robot laprascopic procedure. No incontinence, swimming in 4 weeks, sounds good. You suggested that I ask my MD certain questions "before" surgery. How do you determine seminal vesicle involvement prior to surgery? What is the difference with the bladder neck cut? I have read something about that. I have read also that open surgery gives the MD a better look, and therefore is more likely to result in complete elimination of the cancer. Chics dig scars anyways right? LOL.
Thanks again,
Turtle
