Marc Kawachi or Tim Wilson?

Both are fantastic. As I told you before, Wilson did mine over three years ago. He did a great job.

Good hospital and doctor choice there. I hope and trust all will go well. Enjoy the "old you" for as long as you can before your surgery.

Be glad when you are safely on the other side, the recovery side.

Good Luck and pray for Divine Intervention. Have Faith and you'll do good. Remember as you have already been briefed here in the forum that every patient are different in the way they coped up with incontinence and ED. Hope and pray you do well and keep us posted.

I have heard he is one of the best. At your age you will become the local expert on PCa, the one thing I tell everyone is get the best surgeon you can find. It seems to make a big difference.

I had my Surgery At COH. The entire experience was as good as it can get, under the circumstances. I have a great local Hospital and primary Dr. but chose to seek the most experienced Drs, and facility. It has been eight mos. since RRP and I have been recovering at a steady rate. I am sure you will find the most professional staff and the friendliest people ever!

God speed in your recovery.

The robot's very cool, so be sure to take a look when you first get in. Next thing you know, you'll be in the recovery room. Good luck!
