I was a care giver to my father who had prostate cancer. He also went to the VA and had it removed. The worst part for him was to have a urinary bag for a week. His pain was light and once he got rid of the bag he was a hundred persent. He went bac for a CT scan and they decided to do 5 days in a row of low radiation to make sure. 6 months later the CT scan showed him clear and he was back to fishing in not time. Recovery time is about 4 to 6 weeks, but I my father was very stubborn so I think that helped with the healing process. I wish well in what ever treatment you decide. There many options now for people who have prostrate cancer.
Its ok today!
