How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

For robotic prostatectomy, the hospital stay is usually 3 to 5 days, with a recovery period of 2 to 4 weeks before returning to normal activities, though full recovery of urinary control may take 3 to 6 months. Proton therapy involves daily treatments over 5 to 8 weeks, with minimal downtime during the course, but side effects like fatigue may persist for a few weeks after completion. Active surveillance requires no immediate treatment but involves regular follow-up visits every 3 to 12 months. International patients should plan for a total stay of 4 to 10 weeks depending on the chosen modality and any complications.
