Welcome to the forum.

I did the Robotic Prostatectomy thing over 10 years ago. Cancer in margins and nerve damage although nerve sparing. I'm doing OK now but the cancer in the margins thing is always a bit of a concern. The recovery road can be fairly short or rather lengthy and I don't think there's any way to predict. The degree of recovery of natural function is a crap shoot and it can take a couple of years to reach your peak recovery, whatever that will be. Don't get discouraged. Unless you're one of the very lucky ones you do have some rough times ahead. It does get better. We are here for you. Ask away.

How's the recovery going so far?

Good luck.
R.R.P 2011 Mayo Jacksonville, Dr. M. Wehle. Not nerve sparing. C in margins. Radiation 2023, V.E.D, Viagra and PGE-1 (80mcg/ml) injections @ 8 - 14 units. Originally Edex20, then compounded PGE due to cost. Inject. 12 yrs. It works. Treasure coast of FL.
