Thanks for sharing JohnM.
We had a friend a few years ago go through the exact same process as you did - careful monitoring then finally robotic surgery. He is fully fit and well although I haven’t explored other aspects as they are very private people.
After surgery he felt well, and looked much better than pre surgery, but regular blood monitoring suggested he needed further surgery. The surgeon noted however that all his patients showed rising blood levels which as a surgeon concerned him. Friend sold his business and house as it looked very grim. The surgeon probed further into the blood laboratory. Turned out their levels were wrong and that further testing showed no one was at further current risk. There is currently I believe a class action in place.
Gah it’s paywalled.
