My doctor seems to have no pre-op instructions but I%26#039;m sure I should do something.|||What is it about the 21st? That%26#039;s the day I also go %26quot;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/Pro…

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%26#039;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.
