Had my prostate cancer surgery, it all went well.
None of the cancer is left.
Now I just have to heal up from all the slicing and dicing.

(29,706 posts)me to add about 80grams of protein a day as you will lose so much muscle mass due to healing. I got those protein powder and made lots of protein drinks. 80 grams a day was hard for me. Good luck with the healing! Glad you're well!

(6,931 posts)Dr Weil recommends a ton of Vitamin C which is great for healing tissue. I even had some in my drip during surgery and I healed so fast the nurses couldn't believe it.

Take care and recover well.
