Hi, I have joined here on behalf of my dad.

He had CABG surgery in 2022 and on Nov 2024 he was diagnosed with high PSA. After MRI and Biopsy it was confirmed that he has prostrate cancer, Gleason score 4+3. He is undergoing PET CT scan to confirm the staging. Doctors have advised him immediately robotic prostatectomy. Age: 71 years
