Newly diagnosed, extremely high PSA
A close relative who's had a
prostatectomy
recommended the Walsh book. So I'm reading/learning what I can. Thanks for listening.

Hi, i'm new here
In the waiting stage for an agreed
prostatectomy
. I am 58 years of age. Gleason score of 3+4. Initial PSA of 6.5, followed by another test of 7.5 two weeks later, post biopsy. Surgeon and his team provided lots of information and concluded he maybe able to do nerve sparing, but not guaranteed.

Educate Yourself Before Treatment
From then on, every three months: Lupron (had
prostatectomy
, lymph nodes removed, etc.) And the subsequent Lupron side-effects have become progressively severe in years 5, 6, and 7 on Lupron. And I keep asking: “Can it get much worse?” Stupid question.

BRCA2 positive - need for PARP inhibitor; Rucaparib, others?
Also having robotic
prostatectomy
this Nov 14 as part of the SIMCAP clinical trial. Should I consider adding Rucaparib at this point, or wait until I become castrate resistant???

ED 10 months after surgery
I’m 59 and had a
prostatectomy
November 2018 at Sloan and my doctor was wonderful. At my 2 month followup my PSA was undetectable, it was also undetectable at my 6 month followup. I’m hoping it will be the same at my one year appointment next month.

Is Radical Retropubic robot assisted prostatectomy with nerve sparing truly considered experimental?
I am wondering if anyone had to appeal a denial on a predetermination letter for this proceedure? While I was meeting with Dr. Vipul Patel and him accepting me as a patient, the letter was waiting in my mailbox back home. Dr. Patel literally does more of these than anyone in the world, he tracks his

A reason to have both ?
All three agreed to either: 1 Radical
prostatectomy
followed by 6 to 8 weeks of radiation treatments and hormone therapy or 2 No surgery followed by 6 to 8 weeks of radiation treatments and hormone therapy. What am I missing here?
