Hello TheBluMan and welcome to Cancer Chat,
I'm sorry to hear about you diagnosis and can understand that the recommended operation might feel daunting. If you'd like further information you can visit the surgery for prostate cancer page on our website, which has guidance on many aspects of having an operation. A cancer diagnosis can sometimes feel like a lonely place, but please no that people are there to support you so don't hesitate in being open with your loved ones.
Your consultant is also there to help you navigate this process and address any questions or concerns you may have and if you'd like to speak to one of our friendly cancer nurses we have a free and confidential helpline available. The number is 0808 800 4040 and lines open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.
Best wishes to you,
Moderator Anastasia
