I have an appointment for a second opinion and surgical consultation with Dr. Lee at Penn. Does anyone have any experience with him?

Please get 2nd and even 3rd opinions from non-surgeons. Surgeons tend to recommend surgery because that's what they do. Take your time and consider all options. A radical prostatectomy changed my life in ways that cause me to question my decision. The biggest issue for me has been ED and impotence. You will never experience a climax the same as you did pre-surgery. I didn't have a friend or family members to help me process my options. I suggest sharing this with someone close and carefully considering all options and potential outcomes.
