Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - PSA confirms microscopy after surgery
PSA, 7 weeks after surgery, was 0.01 ug/L. Recall microscopy after surgery reported the tumour was no longer prostate confined with capsular penetration and extension into periprostatic fat. Tumour extended very close to the posterior surgical margin but in none of the sections did it reach this margin

Advice on bloodwork after radiation treatment?
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer (a very low PSA) back in 2016, underwent a radical
prostatectomy
that year, and then radiation a year or two later to his pelvic area after a rise in PSA.

New to the forum and doing Intermittent ADT
Things looked great after my
prostatectomy
, but then my PSA started rising a year later. Got a PSMA scan and no mets were detectable. Decided against radiation and went with ADT only. My plan is to do ADT intermittently to get the best quality of life possible. Just trying to manage this.

bladder neck invasion. Can it be radiated?
My husband had radical
prostatectomy
last week and the pathology report came back with “bladder neck invasion present”, in” right mid and superior posterior and left and right bladder neck”. I’m wondering is it possible to radiate that area after he heals from surgery?

Experience with different Viagra / Cialis Regimens For Moderate ED?
1.5+ years post bi-lateral nerve sparing
prostatectomy
(well not 100% nerve sparing) my EF is probably and 8.5 where it was a 10 prior to surgery. If I'm really in the mood with a ton of physical (and visual) stimulation I can barely get to the point of penetration without drugs.

Genistein potentiates the radiation effect on prostate carcinoma cells
In 2004, after my failed
prostatectomy
, I came across the Life Extension protocol for PCa (at that time). It included their Ultra Soy Extract. 5 caps provided a massive amount of genistein. LEF suggested taking this 4 times daily. I think that one bottle was $75 & I would need 4 for a month.

Difficult decision before a robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy planned for March
The Urological surgeon said the team review recommended the lymph node be removed during
prostatectomy
. Given the 8 mm lung nodule was a false alarm I thought maybe the 6mm lymph node is also a false alarm.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter? Finding a surgeon and understanding recovery?
I am at the point where, after my
prostatectomy
, salvage radiation and sling implant, my incontinence has gotten bad enough that I feel I need an Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) I had the sling installed in January 2021. It worked for about a year and a half.

Decided to have a robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - update
Reasons for my decision: I made a decision based on my understanding, see below. Radiation - no effect on urinary leakage, sexual function initially preserved but wanes for most, limited options for salvage - if cancer recurs treatment is palliative/non curative, long term radiation damage to bladder
