Grady Clay, that was great.
I read and read and read, and talked to people...
A friend (radiologist) tried to tell me to just do the radiation. I did the surgery.
Stevepaa, check this site:

My surgery was done by Eigner in Colorado. There are quite a few in CA. The Robotic laparoscopic is really pretty easy, a few go home the same day. I went home the next day, but could do a sit-up the same nite.
My brother had the vertical slice and was pretty laid up for a couple weeks.
It's also easier for them to see stuff in there (no internal bleeding) so its easier for them to save the nerves - the important ones.
Thanks again, Grady.
Steve, keep us posted. We're with you.
