Last October for me, Nik. Robotic. Out of pocket $s - ginormous! Even with top health cover. But wouldn't have gone with any other option after my research and given my situation after all the tests (including the deafening MRI!). Pathology - all clear at the margins. Two post-op PSA results now, both below detection. Great news. Don't try rush your recovery - having catheter out is a joy, but see how you progress from there. Get urological physiotherapy and do exactly what you are told. Some things resolve quickly, others slowly. I'm five months post-op and figure it'll be a further 7 months before I know if full recovery is a prospect. We're in a fortunate club - prostate cancer survivors thanks to early detection and quality modern medicine with skilled robotic surgeons. Eric
