Just Nod If You Can Hear Me
I’m hearing from several doctors and a counselor who swear there are men who have maintained size, resolved incontinence, and restored erectile function (albeit with pills, injections, prosthetics) following nerve sparing radical
prostatectomy

Suddenly Urinary Leakage just walking around, then I have to push / strain to urinate, PSA rising, prostatectomy leakage resolved
I had a Radical
Prostatectomy
in 03/2023 leakage resolved. I didn’t have radiation as much as I was waiting to do so on prostate bed tumor growing, medical oncologist kept wanting me to wait.

post prostatectomy psa
hello. I Had surgery June 13 2023 biopsy showed Gleason 8. Psa 13 perineal invasion seminal vesicle invasion post surgery pathology Gleason 7. First two ultra sensitive psa came back with less than symbol 0.02. Then my last ultra sensitive psa came back 0.02 without the less than symbol. Is this something

10-year update still shows no benefit to ART vs early SRT
ART
= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after radical
prostatectomy
(RP)
early SRT
= salvage radiation therapy, after PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP.

Out of town prostatectomy
For those that have had a
prostatectomy
out of state, who did most of the follow-up? Did you have a local urologist too? I suspect a local urologist would be hesitant to follow up on a patient whom had his surgery done by someone else.

Chronic pain after prostatectomy
My friend had robotic
prostatectomy
in May 2019. In the almost 5 years since he has experienced daily abdominal pain. He has seen numerous doctors but none of them have been able to diagnose the source of the pain. He is an invalid due to this problem. Does anyone else know of a similar case?

Please help us decide on next treatment
We met today with radiologist and oncologist and we were given 3 options: SBRT to the active parts of the prostate and the rib, HDR Brachytherapy to prostate and SBRT to rib or
Prostatectomy
surgery of prostate and SBRT to the rib. Please, please help us decide what treatment is best.

Erleada or Xtandi with Orgovyx, preference one way or the other?
Dx 2015 Gleason 7,
prostatectomy
2015, seminal vessel invasion one side, fast forward 3 years recurrence and 39 sessions of radiation to prostate bed and back to PSA undetectable.

The role of PSMA PET/CT in predicting downgrading in patients with Gleason score 4+4 prostate cancer in prostate biopsy - W Jour Uro 5/21/24
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 62 patients with a GS of 4+4 on prostate biopsy who underwent robotic radical
prostatectomy
between 2017 and 2022.
Results
38 of 62 (61.2%) were downgraded.

Blood in urine
I had a robotic radical
prostatectomy
three months ago. In the first few weeks after surgery, my urine was clear, but then I started showing blood on my pads during walks. This has continued ever since and I'm now at 12 weeks after surgery. These are pink spots, not clots.

Surprising TRT research results in PCa patients
I went down this path because my
prostatectomy
surgeon, who is very well respected in the field (200+ papers) and has performed over 5000 surgeries, is recommending I consider going on TRT with my testosterone levels in the mid 200s. (My surgery was in Nov 2023. 4+3.

PSA still undetectable?
Prostatectomy
September 2022. PSA since op 0.01 latest PSA 0.03 Urologist states will check it again in 3 months rather then 6. 0.03 still very low but why the rise. Could the cause be micro prostate cancer cells hiding somewhere?

PSA rising after salvage treatment
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in 2021 followed by salvage radio therapy. My psa levels have been rising slowly since then and I wondered if there was any advice as to what it might mean and if there is anything I should be doing at this point?

Dad's Next Treatment?
He has been through Leuprolide acetate, Lu-177, Olaparib (Lynparza), Abiraterone (Zytiga), 5 rounds of Docetaxel, and brain radiotherapy due to meningeal metastases, as well as a ureteral stent placement procedure done due to a recurrent cancer mass where the
prostatectomy
surgery site was done.
