I had my prostatectomy on Jan. 7 and went home the next day as well. never had to use more than a few Tylenols for a couple of days and all the pain was gone.
Now trying to get dry ! Be careful with your PSA , mine was never high and the digital exam never felt a hard tumor. Did not want a biopsy either but had a MRI first and that showed a tumor of 2 cm. Than had a biopsy (NO BIG DEAL ! ) and it showed a low grade cancer , than had a genetic test to see if it was slow or fast growing and it showed a slow growing one. Two years later (Oct. 2018 ) had a second biopsy and it was getting worse. Decided on Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery and I can not wait to ride my bike in early march !
