Elevated PSA post surgery
My father , aged 67 years underwent robotic radical
prostatectomy
on 27/7/2018. His PSA on 15/9/18 is 7.20. it was 31 pre operatively. He was diagnosed as T3N1M0. Gleason 4+4. Wondering what's next? Can anyone please suggest the next course of action...

gone forever?
First recommendation (I will have second opinion in 2 weeks) radical
prostatectomy
, including both nerve bundles, followed by radiology treatments. I have the same initial questions everyone must face. How long will the incontinence last and are the good old erections gone forever?

Radiotherapy & second primary malignancies.
My
prostatectomy
[RP] of 14.5 years ago was not successful & so I had salvage radiation. I was told that there would be an increased risk of a second cancer - but not within the first 5 years.

Does anyone know of a group that meets in NYC to discuss Prostate cancer?
I was diagnosed at 47 with Prostate Cancer and had a radical
prostatectomy
about 1 year ago. I need help coping.

Mohammad et al https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/9/12/166 My history: diagnosed 2002, radical
prostatectomy
, external beam radiation, ADT (zolodex), bicalutamide. All were done serially after the previous had failed.

Incontinent Products - Penile clamp
1 week since robotic
prostatectomy
and totally incontinent. Doing some research on incontinent assist products and came across the penile clamp. These products seem to provide enough control so you can at least get to the bathroom before your bladder empties on the floor.

Meeting with Radiation Oncologist to discuss treatments after persistent cancer after Radical Prostatectomy (RP) with PSA of 0.8 - Gleason 7
The results were: 6/14/18 - Robot assisted laparoscopic radical
prostatectomy
and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy - Gleason 4 + 3 prostate cancer with tertiary 5; acinar type - extracapuslar extension; + lymphovascular invasion; no seminal vesicle invasion; negative surgical margins;

Switched to Advanced Group. Post-RP. G9. Stage 3Tb.
In December 2017 I opted for a robotic-assisted
prostatectomy
at a world-class US hospital. According to the surgeon, pathology done during the procedure revealed invasion of one seminal vesicle. I assume this persuaded him to cut wider.

Fresh robotic prostatectomy
57 year old very active and fit. After being treated for prostatitis with elevated PSAs and not getting a rectal exam to check for nodularity or tumor. Decided to change providers who immediayely did rectal exam and found a tumor. After my string of Biopsies and MRI’s Gleason 4+4. Agressive cancer.

First 72 hours
I'm scheduled for a radical robotic
prostatectomy
in two weeks. Can anyone describe what the first 72 hours after surgery is like? Thanks

After surgery and now PSA 0.8 - what's next?
I made my decision to have the prostate removed over radiation treatment. 6/14/18 - I had robotic assisted laparoscopic radical
prostatectomy
and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy - now Gleason 4 + 3 which was a lower Gleason score.

Should I be content with Current PSA? Or should I be asking my NO to be more proactive?
I had maybe 2 small spots...the size of a quarter..previous
prostatectomy
and beam radiation with rising psa..negative lymph nodes...so must have traveled through my blood. From reading all of your post I feel like I am supposed to be on ads to treatment??

I've been in this battle since 2010
I was sent straight for Radiotherapy as normal
Prostatectomy
wasn't an option due to Cancer having spread outside Prostate to seminal vesicles etc.

Gleason Score 10.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: The study included 112 patients with biopsy-determined GS 10 PCa who received treatment with radical
prostatectomy
(RP, n = 26), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT, n = 48), or EBRT with a brachytherapy boost (EBRT-BT, n = 38) between 2000 and 2013.
