Richard's Story
Follow best advice. Don't expect immediate results.
My greatest concern, other than the treatment not fully dealing with the problem (metastasis) was the possible effect and limitations on my lifestyle caused by incontinence. In fact, I was immediately dry at night and completely dry within five months. I most wholly recommend 'pre-habilitation' - the adoption of regular pelvic floor exercises and following all recommendations given by the specialist nurses and physiotherapists.

My operation has proved to be successful. My rehabilitation was, thanks to an amazing team of professionals, as fast and complete as I could have hoped for.
