Hi Drs. Muff & Krongrad -

Just checking in to let the forum know that I had an LRP last July.  I'm very thankful for your guidance - I don't know if I would have pursued this course of treatment without knowing that it existed as option - as all the doctors I'd spoken to prior always looked at me with a sort of bemusement when I wanted to discuss it. 

6 months out now and I'm much happier.  The pain is 95% gone - all that seems to remain is some minor residual pain.  Gone are the tiredness, chills,etc. 

Strangely, even though my PSA scores were always <1.0, the post-surgical pathology report indicated a gleason 6 tumor that had reached the capsule, but not breached it.  So, I dodged a bullet with the surgery, it appears.

Incontinence is improving - I'm down to 1 pad a day, and really only use it for peace of mind.  The biggest risk is when I'm in the gym - certain exercises can create a problem. 

Erections are coming back, though sex isn't my main focus right now, to be honest.

I'm so glad I had the surgery.  I feel like I have my life back.  Thanks!
