I had an operation to have my prostate removed.  I am still leaking. I do the
exercises but I am still having problem.
My incontinence always starts at around 4:00pm. I do not leak at night or in
the morning. I do leak sometimes if I bend down and sometimes I do not. I had

I just had a robotic prostatectomy and am concerned that the pathology
findings moved me from T1C to T3A. Evidently this is because one small

I had my RP some months ago in Israel

I'm sort of the family researcher for my father-in-law since he doesn't

I have an enlarged prostate and corresponding urination problems (a couple of times
at night, weak stream etc).
I know that if I chose LDR Brachy, I should expect more severe urination problems for

It's been three and a half weeks since the procedure (to open up the
bladder neck at the anastomosis) and today the big pain went away. I

got frazzled and I had to lie down a lot to remove the pressure - it

scheduled for this Friday (8/12).  Dr. Alan Partin at Johns Hopkins
will be performing the operation.
We leave South Carolina Thursday morning and I hope, er...PLAN to be

I am  going on 9 month post-op from surgery and doing fine:   Looks like
they got the cancer; no incontinence; and  still some hope in the erectile

There is a concern that has surfaced that I am not sure if it is related to

Read how many people have non aggressive prostate cancer.
I had RRP but now wonder if I should have done watchful waiting. Guess I
will never know still this

I am thankful for any comment and info.
