I found out a couple months ago that I have prostate cancer. The surgery to get rid of it is scheduled for Monday February 3rd. It hadn't really hit me until yesterday when I went for the pre-op appointment.

Prayers are with you.

Glad you're getting it removed. Best wishes for a speedy and successful recovery.

Apparently this cancer is slow growing and not agressive. The Dr told me if I was 10 years older he would suggest leaving it and keeping an eye out for trouble. He said something else would get me before the cancer.

Always great to start out with an edge on this stuff. Your doc sounds positive on good results.
Praying for a quick recovery and return to best of health!

I wish you nothing but the best and a speedy recovery.

Relax, the new methods and drugs make surgery a lot simpler. I had an aortic aneurysm repaired last summer and spent only one night in the hospital. Went home the next day and was up and doing my stuff in a couple more days. Very little pain.

It's simply amazing what they can do with most cancers these days. I have two cousins with cancer right now and they are on chemo for life which amounts to taking a pill with little side effect. They expect normal life spans.

Had a rupture fixed twenty years ago and that was not pleasant, but even that is much simpler now. BTW, had a vasectomy done at the same time. Now I am a Golden Gelding guaranteed Community Safe.

thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery

Remember the power of positive thinking. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks to you all for the kind words and prayers.

Hope all goes well for you and a speedy recovery!

Good luck with the surgery. Millions of men have had it. I had surgery in October of 2003 and have been cancer free.

We are all pulling for ya!

Wishing you all the best. Modern medicine is amazing, you'll soon be just fine.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. My dad had to have his removed and it took some time for him to get "back to normal". That was back in the late 60's and I'm sure the procedure has improved immensely since then.

God Bless you and the surgeon. Get well and keep on with your life. We want all our members getting old and bitching about the gvmnt full time. Peace.

Prayers for a quick recovery, and back to shooting range before you know it.

Give ‘er hell!

It's going to be a hungry day. One day before my surgery and I can only have jello broth and juice or water.

Well, look at it this way, if it were going to be a Colonoscopy you'd be drinking that terrible nectar and spending your day you know where.
There's always an upside.

Hang in there my friend. It will be over soon.
