What is it about the 21st? That's the day I also go "under the knife, as well. My doctor is using a perineal approach. I wish us both luck!
The best site I can offer you is our Yahoo Prostate Cancer Support Forum.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ProstateCancerSupport
Do a search within the forum. There are lots of good answers for you.
According to my urologist and physiotrist there is not a whole lot that you can do for yourself aside from Kegel exercises. You may ask your surgeon if he advises you to self-donate blood... just in case...
I am trying to prepare my mind, body, and spirit using meditation, pelvic floor exercises, and even biofeedback.
Hey! It may not be effective, but at least I feel I am still in control and doing something is always better than not.
I'm also a member of our local Man-To-Man Prostate Cancer Support Group. Check out The American Cancer Society for a group near you.
