Hello,
This is a tough question to answer because each man's situation is unique with a number of individual factors that can contribute to incontinence due to different prostate conditions and treatments. However, here's some information that may be helpful to you:

All in all, it's best to maintain close communication with your doctor, especially since you've indicated a diagnosis of cancer. Ask your doctor about what he or she feels might be an appropriate rate for YOU when it comes to regaining urinary continence.
Best regards,
