Glad to have the group here for us.

6 Replies

Here's my story, started when I was 53 in 2013, PSA 4.1, had biopsy, 2 cores 15% cancer. Decided active surveillance which lasted until 2015. Next biopsy showed 3 cores 70,70,50% cancer. Time for action. My decision RP which happened September 2015. Nerve sparing surgery, clean margins, have erectile function and bladder control. Glad to have the group to share the experience and learn from you as well.

Great that you have erections.  That's so rare after surgery

Consults with my doc and the results he had with patients to date helped with my decision. Being 54 at time of surgery I wanted back up plans for the future.

I figure we all have information to share and it helps the group as a whole.
