I hope you got a second opinion. There are alternative methods besides surgery. My brother-in-law had his cancer obliterated with somekind of radiation that they just pinpointed to the affected area & zapped it. Of course there are different graduations of infection and yours might be more serious if the doc wants to take it out. I'd really look into it further. Once they cut you open all kind of things could happen....

Make sure that you are seeing a reliable urologist and have them explain all your surgical and non-surgical options. Be sure to ask which procedure is least likely to leave you with sexual function problems and if that procedure is appropriate for you. Good luck with this and speedy recovery!
