Erection return
For those who have experienced radical
prostatectomy
, my question is about the return of erectile function. I realize it may never come back. Or it may come back but it could take up to 2 years. I am doing penis pumping once to twice daily. I am taking daily sildenafil.

Radiation after Radical Prostatectomy with Lymph Node Removal in Non Metastatic and Metastatic Men. Need some answers.
I had a radical
prostatectomy
with lymph node removal only 8, negative for pca. But, found with positive EPE margins, bladder wall, and microscopic bladder neck. A RO mentioned radiation to prostate bed and left lymph nodes Will it help me? As I am Oligo metastatic.

Potential biochemical recurrence post radical prostatectomy, looking for perspective on the outcomes and treatments.
63-year old Male, months shy of 5-year mark of the radical
prostatectomy
, showed PSA of .08 in January then .07 in March. Originally had up to Gleason 9’s. I know it’s not technically a recurrence until .2, and doubling time is the next variable to look out for.

Blood and clots in urine 5 weeks after RP
My husband (51 years old) had a Robotic
Prostatectomy
about 5 weeks ago. Pathology showed Pt3a, bladder neck invasion, perineural invasion, non-focal EPE, negative margins, no positive lymph nodes. Last week at 4 weeks post op he began having on and off blood and blood clots in his urine.

Radical Prostatectomy
on the pathology report it states as follows Excerpt from pathology report: VIII. SEMINAL VESICLE INVASION: Cannot be assessed The seminal vessels were removed but pathologists said cannot be assessed Surgeon, Pathologist and Medical Oncologist we spoke to state because they were shrunk or scarred

Erections, cockrings, pumps, injectables...
I have been using "the pump" for the past year since my
prostatectomy
. It's not the fancy Vacurect one....just the regular model. After pumping, I have tried putting a cock ring around JUST my cock but find that the erection won't stay.

I just don't know...
Under Impression it says (emphasis added): "History of high risk metastatic prostate cancer, status post
prostatectomy
and bilateral orchiectomy. Now with rising PSA. 1. No evidence of local recurrence in the surgical resection bed. 2. No suspicious PSMA avid lymphadenopathy. 3.

PSA from secondary deposits!
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in 2012 and my PSA levels until about a year ago were undetectable. I was then on annual PSA blood tests, but now they have put them up to 3 monthly as the PSA has risen, although still very low at around 0.2 .

PSA after the radical prostatectomy
I have posted at "the Inspired" looking for answers to my puzzles. Some have responded with helpful insight. I am sill wondering why my PSA does not drop to near zero after radical prostatocmy. My original PSA was 28 and MRI found something suspicious. The surgeon I saw booked a date for removal operation

Great Medical Oncologist in Seattle?
Hi everyone - After a removed lymph node was found to have cancer in it after my
prostatectomy
, I’ve migrated myself over to this Advanced Prostate Cancer group. I keep joining these new clubs. I must be popular.

Questions about medicare/insurance - turning 65
I foresee a bunch of expenses in my future (
prostatectomy
and pelvic lymph dissection, possible radiation…), and wonder what I should do regarding my pending Medicare enrollment. Do any of you older folks have any suggestions which way I should go? Medicare? Medicare & supplemental? Other?

Low PSA producing PCa. MO discontinued Abi +Pred. Is this right?
Highest PSA at diagnosis and
prostatectomy
was 2.67. Started on Lupron right away. Abi and pred started when PSA went to .26 a year after surgery. We’re in Florida for a few months and went to Moffit for a second opinion. Doctor took him off abi and pred right away (he’d been on for 2 months).

Need help/input on Adjuvant vs salvage radiation after prostatectomy & extended lymph node dissection. Also studies/input on # fractions?
History: Husbands care team planned for a “multi-modality” treatment plan (ADT+Zytiga, then
prostatectomy
with ePLND, followed by adjuvant IMRT), for his Gleason 10, locally advanced PC.
