No I opted for open surgery as robotic was fairly new at my time. I'm sure in 12 years prostate procedures have moved on immensely. I reckon you'll be playing a lot sooner than I did.
Is your surgery going to be within the set time line from diagnosis to surgery?
I understand your decision back then but now my hospital have done some 2,000 robot operations. My original diagnosis was 4 years ago, but the Gleason score was 3, I have had biopsies 4 times in 4 years, and only at the last one had a new, more aggressive cancer emerged. I was told at Christmas they would operate in January, maybe February and I'm now rebooked for the 24th February which is fine, my only complaint is that the day they phoned and said it was the 1st February I told them I hadn't had the 2 scans they needed, and no one bothered to either, reorganize them quicker or, change their date to suit.
