Finally...only diagnosed 10/26, but the RRP is scheduled for 12 hours from
now on 12/1. Man, I can't sleep. I'm ready for this. Done my reading,
and feel real good about my choice and the doc.

I'm grateful to the only fellow I've talk to personally who has had an RRP
(the only one I've talked to who has PCa), as he pointed me in the
direction of this group.

When I get out, I'll post the results here.

You've been a great boost to me, folks, just by seeing all the good info,
banter and humor. I'll be back soon!

Hope all went well yesterday and that you are up walking today.

Best wishes for a favorable path report and no long term side effects
from the surgery.

Thank you.

John,
Its Rob, the guy you talked to. I would have wished you luck here but
didn't see this post until after you had your surgery. I have heard
through the grapevine that they think they got it all and verified no
lymph node involvement. Exactly what you want for now. Now its time to
just focus on getting your strength back!!
