I'm not gonna lie, this has been very difficult for me to read and thereby relive. I put off reading this for about a week until I thought I could read it with out crying. Even though I was with you I still didn't know everything that was going on with you. Thank God we got through that!
Dr. Holden, thank you for writing your story. I also had a RARP and I would advise absolutely nobody to watch one on YouTube. I still didn't know what the robot looks like. This is the first post of yours I've read, so I hope your recovery is going well.
I could really relate to the Groundhog Day comment. I remember that after finding out I had a brain tumour. Waking up and remembering that every morning.
It's good to read how people cope with their cancers. I have an aggressive prostate cancer that's spread to my bones, and an undergoing chemotherapy.
I'm also a cartoonist and have started a strip on Substack called The Chemo Fresk recounting my journey. The experience has been a roller coaster of a ride, but cartooning my experience has given me a mental escape route.
Diane took care of me when I had my appendix removed. I could have died and she supervised my surgery. And there for her mother, my aunt Catherine. I'm thankful to be here and thankful you have survived such trauma. I am thankful to Diane and keep her to my heart all the time. Everything is how it is supposed to be.

Thank God I have you with me in this experience!

Hi Anthony. Yes, I wish I hadn't watched one either - gruesome. Thank you, and I wish you the best, too!

Yes, I'm glad it wore off, to a significant degree, after a while.
