Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

It was made to sound like it was straight forward and routine but for me there was no help from the hospital at the operation. I spent 6 weeks trying to find out my psa score after a 6 month blood test and I've had no contact from the hospital after a little over 2 years.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Why did I give this answer?

Was told that there are other treatments for prostate cancer but they were brushed over in favour of removal.
