First 3 months on combined androgen blockade...
In May 2002 I had radical
prostatectomy
at Sloan Kettering in NY. My Gleason grade was 4 + 3 = 7 and pathology showed spread to a seminal vesicle but otherwise margins were clear. After surgery my PSA fell to a nadir of 0.003 (Nov 2002).

Living with Metastatic Prostate Cancer
The urology center had a surgeon employed so the doctor recommended a radical
prostatectomy
. There were two people at work that had the procedure and they highly recommended that I do the same. So I interviewed surgeons only, and had a radical
prostatectomy
in November 2010.

Lipids & aggressive PCa in the PRACTICAL consortium
The study included some men with "biochemical recurrence following radical
prostatectomy
", but there is no mention of how many, in this small study, were on ADT.

After effects
Was given some medicine to halt the progress and in 2012 I had a Robotic
Prostatectomy
. The surgeon, Dr. Lee , one of the finest men I have ever visited in 75 years, advised he took out not only the prostrate but glands and areas around there to minimize chances it had migrated elsewhere.

introduction
Classified as "intermediate" risk....urologist suggested open nerve-sparing radical
prostatectomy
, which is what I've decided to go ahead with. Surgery is scheduled for April 11, 2016...

New Here not New to Prostate Cancer
I have done everything that could have ended in a cure
Prostatectomy
in 2008, Salvage Radiation 2014 now as I wait for the PSA to reach 1.0 (currently 0.8) to join a study that is not curative, and at best may provide an additional 2-3 years.

Hi There!
I had an open radical
prostatectomy
in 2002. I was diagnosed at age 33. My family history is very strong. Prior to my diagnosis I worked in finance and private equity for 14 years.

Cancer diagnosed and awaiting surgery
I am due to have a radical
prostatectomy
within weeks, but am not too sure about the op (DaVinci robotic keyhole surgery) and wonder at age 74 whether a 'watch and wait' would be a viable option. Any thoughts please.

Well, I've had my op!
Back at home now after the
prostatectomy
. Adapting to life with a catheter for wee while. (Sorry - awful pun!) And adapting to a routine of poodling around gently for a bit. (Not my style really - but needs must).
