Thoughts??
I was diagnosed in November of 2021 and had a radical
prostatectomy
on 7 March 2022. However, my pathology showed positive margins. I have not had any other treatment since my surgery. My PSA has changed from undetectable to .04 in the year following my surgery.

Determinants of PSA Response to Bipolar Androgen Therapy [BAT]
Responders were more likely to have had a radical
prostatectomy
as definitive therapy and were more likely to have been treated with an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist (enzalutamide or apalutamide) immediately prior to BAT (compared to abiraterone).

I just had a radical
prostatectomy
, including the removal of nerves. Post surgery pathology downgraded the two legions to a Gleason 5 and a Gleason 7, with no indication of any cancer touching the anterior wall.

Intraductal Carcinoma and Cribriform Glands Present
My husband just had a
prostatectomy
several weeks ago. Follow up appt with surgeon is next week. Overall the pathology report seems good! They downgraded his Gleason score from a 9 to a 7 (4+3), margins were clean, and lymph nodes negative.

ED after Prostatectomy
Hi Guys-I had radical
prostatectomy
back in 2014. At first the cancer did not seem aggressive but then it became so, so surgery was encouraged. I appear to be cancer free, which of course is great, but my ED has me down.

Third opinion, from the City of Hope where I had my
prostatectomy
in 2017, is to pursue a clinical trial of White Bottom Mushroom. I'm getting more confused by the day and feel like I'm going to have to be the "general contractor".

PSMA PET-CT Ga68 Scan results
Soft tissue: Status post radical
prostatectomy
. There is a 0.9 cm focus of intense PSMA uptake in the prostate bed, adjacent to the left posteroinferior bladder wall, corresponding to an ill-defined soft tissue nodule on CT (SUV max 40.5, average Hounsfield units 50, 4:81, 3:47).

Post-Salvage Radiation GI side effects?
By way of background, I had a robotic
prostatectomy
in 2011 and it failed. Last summer I had 35 salvage radiation sessions to the prostate bed only, ending on 27 August 2022. I was also give a concurrent six-month does of Eligard on 3 May 2022.

Go through with radical prostatectomy or explore Hifu?
He thinks that because I am otherwise very healthy and should live well into my 90s, my best option is robotic
prostatectomy
, which he has done about 4500 times.

should I be worried?
Had
prostatectomy
in 2019. Gleason 4+3. PSA before operation was 3.4. Remained undetectable for 4 months, then rise to 1.9 over 4 months. PSMA scan detected one lymph node in pelvis. Went for 40 rounds of radiation with lupron and Zytiga for 8 months ending August 2020.

Further treatment - Update
I had biopsy 03.09.07 (Gleason score 3+7) and
prostatectomy
10.11.07. PSA started to rise soon after. Since then I have had radiation and been more or less on Zoladex injections the whole time. I started Xtandi in April 2019 and switched to Nubeqa December 2021.

This was done in the presence of recurrent PSA post radical
prostatectomy
. 15. Min 26:48; distant metastasis, at low PSA. Uncommon but only because PSMA PET is only now revealing this possibility. Should be included in the SOC before continuing any treatment. 16.

PSA Doubling Time
Have had a
prostatectomy
, radiation, Zolodex and finished 8 months of degarelix end of Aug. By 25 Oct my PSA was 0.44. On 15 Dec it was 1.99 and 18 days later on 03 Jan it was 2.84. By my Oncologist’s calculation my doubling time is 8 months.

Struggling...
Early on I made the choice to have a
prostatectomy
. Shortly afterwards I started feeling tons of anxiety. Not necessarily about the surgery, but the side effects after the surgery. None of this was helped by my sister's diagnosis of cancer. She passed last week due to complications from cancer.
