Hi and welcome to where none of us would have wished to be.
Sounds like you are unfortunate to have had PCa so you but with no obvious symptoms, very fortunate to have been identified and had it treated.
I had a look at your profile, you may wish to put some of those details on this introducing thread here as some folks do not lookn at profiles and it will help people help you?
Among your side effects on your profile you have omitted one, LIFE. THE most important SE, IMHO.
I am a little over 2 years ahead of you in terms of PCa and treatment but 10 years ahead of you inn life, 55 at diagnosis and I thought I was young!
Anyway welcome, ask anything, we have seen it all and heard it all before so do not flinch or think it will cause any embarrassment. And do not be surprised if one of the many ladies pops up with a detailed answer, they tend to know a lot more about this than us men.

Hi Johny
Welcome from me too, some of us are partners of men with Pca, I'm sure you'll be aware that a cancer diagnosis has a ripple effect in families and we wives or partners come here for help, advice or to offer support to others too.
You sure are young to have got this disease but how fantastic that it was found early, it's frightening to think what could have happened had this not been found.
Ask your questions Johny, there's always someone to help.

Hi Johny,
Welcome to the forum, you will get a lot of advice and wisdom from the members here. My husband age 46 just had Da Vinci last Thursday so very early on in the process. Do keep posting and hearing about your experience after surgery would be very helpful.
Best wishes,
Trish

Hi Johnny
another of the Ladies popping in to welcome you.
Right now there are a small group of men on the forum either about to have or have had surgery in the last month to remove their prostates. Add to that the very many who have had the surgery and are at varying stages of recovery and one or two regular posters who are two or more years post surgery and doing really well, no incontinence (well as long as they don't do anything a little crazy) good EF (with a little help sometimes) undetectable PSA and all leading a full and happy life, as well as those who still have a few issues but are getting help to deal with them.
Ask any questions you have and you will get answers here.
I wish you all the very best

Hi Jonny, sorry you find yourself here at such a young age. I am another wife and my hubby was only 53 at diagnosis with no symptons either. Now is a really tough time for you and I am sure you will have lots of questions. Lots of people on here much more experienced than me will give advice. I got some great practical advice and support after my hubbies surgery, so feel free to ask all you need.
I just recently posted an update on my hubby which hopefully will show you that life can get back to near normal.
Good luck
