So after meeting with the surgeon he had a date, Sept 3rd available, great, 6 weeks after my biopy’s the minimum wait time. So on Tuesday, I know in 3 weeks I’ll have the cancer out of me and onto the healing process. Before the surgery I will have to go to classes. One is an educational class that talks about the risks and side affects. 1. Loss of bladder control, I knew this and had accepted this could go on for a few weeks after surgery. 2. ED, yet, erectile dysfunction. But there are pills and shots (shots is what male adult actors use so they can work those long hours on sets). 3. Infection (always a risk with a surgery). 4. Blood clots… one of my past surgeries I had 4 PE’s, but they know my history, and take all the precautions, compression leggings, get me walking the day of the procedure, blood thinners. 5. Catheter for a week.
To me, I feel I could handle all of those (don’t want to do the PE thing again, but I know the symptoms now, and they have all the answers.) So by Thursday I had prepared my self for what was to come. I had come to peace, and honestly couldn’t wait to get started so I could start recovery.
