Its been 12 years since my Cancer surgery, was diagnosed in my 40s. Was having my PSA checked since early 40s due to my Father passing from it. The Da Vinci was just getting started then and was not readily available. But Dr who did the normal surgery said when he was in there there were complications that the robot would have had trouble with.
But the good news is Prostate cancer saved my life! While going through pre-op screenings, the found I had kidney cancer too! So a sudden switch of gears, I had the kidney out 1st since it's chance of metastasizing was greater then the prostate, 2 month recovery, then the Prostate surgery.
The recovery of the kidney op was more painful then the prostate, but the 2nd surgery was a longer recovery due to the catheter and bladder healing and retraining
But all better now!
Good luck to all you gents that have gone through it and are going to go through it.
