I will add an excellent comprehensive site - http://www.phoenix5.org It was begun by Robert Young who passed away from PCa so additional information (i.e. up-to-date) may not be there. The site was down for awhile but his wife worked very hard and it is now back. Particular info can usually be found by putting in your topic in the site search.

For Doting Daughter and others interested in good info on post-op for robotic laparoscopic surgery. This link is from the University of Michigan: Instructions For Care Following Conventional Prostatectomy/Robotic Prostatectomy http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/urology/postcare/rprostatectomy.htm In my judgment , they are right on the mark.  Of course, I'm new to this as well. Enjoy! Idaho
