Hi sorry that you've joined us but glad you've found us! This site has bee a great help to me.
My hubby had this op in 2008 (radical ) aged 58 and has just retired. It took him several months to get back to normal but has been well since. Investigation Aug onwards - op in Nov.
It sounds as if you have been caught early as you have been offered the op - if it has spread other treatment options I think would have been offered. Prostate cancer treatment varies so much depending on the stage you are at when diagnosed, took us some time to get our heads around it.
Any questions just fire away, off to work now but will look in later.
