What next after radio therapy and Lupron?
He had a Gleason score of 9 and radical
prostatectomy
in December 2017. Since then, he had 36 sessions of radiotherapy and has also been on Lupron (took his 2nd injection last week).

Just had face to face with dr’s
This time the oncologist and urologist agree that the only chance for a cure is a selvedge
prostatectomy
(sp)? Even with high cost of side effects. Talking the end of July. It is at least showing it’s only in the prostrate in reference to all test but of course we know something could be hiding.

Hernia.
He told me that it would have to be open surgery because of my
prostatectomy
. From the new paper: "The association between radical
prostatectomy
and inguinal hernia development is complex and unclear."

Physical Therapy for Incontinance after Surgery
This eventually led to my choosing to have a radical robotic
prostatectomy
with non-nerve sparing. The surgery went fine but when the pulled the catheter out after surgery I found (Like most men) that I was incontinent. This is disturbing (I say in that it was horrifying).

CBD Oil helpful
I'm facing ongoing treatment after a robotic
prostatectomy
in 2017. I was wondering if anybody has used CBD oil to help in their treatment? And if you have, what brand did you use? Where did you purchase it, and was it helpful?

Low Testosterone
He's had a total
prostatectomy
, 12 weeks of radiation and two lupron injections. We're both 63 years old. His Gleason score was 7. The cancer spilled out into his abdomen and there were cells found on the surgical margins. No lymph node involvement.

Sex after treatment?
Ok so I just had a radical
prostatectomy
a little over a month ago. I am on a sliver of a Viagra every day. I am on a Lupron holiday and my PSA is in the undetectable range at this point.

What now?
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in August 2017 and my first PSA was 0.08. My recent PSA was 0.22 and I am awaiting a consult with my urologist for further treatment. My Gleason score was 4+5 a 9 and I'm very bummed that I will need more treatment so soon. What happens now?

Misdiagnosed?
Would I even needed a radical
prostatectomy
? Very saddened and depressed over this.

New Member Question (s) For The Group
But back the PC, he had a radical
prostatectomy
4 years back and it took only 6 months for it to return. He has chosen, thus far, to go all natural treatments-no radiation, no chemo, no additional surgeries and no clinical trials.

Newbie introduction. Prostatectomy & diet and...
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.

Prostate Cancer Stage 4 Metastasized
From then it actually took 8 months to receive a Robotic
Prostatectomy
which found my Gleason to be a 9 with seminal vesicle invasion. Dec 8 2018 post
Prostatectomy
PSA 12/8/18 @ 0.6 - 01/08/18 @ 1.51 and again 02/14/18 @ 3.57. It is a horrible feeling.

Just over Surgery
I had an open
prostatectomy
last week and also all lymph nodes were removed as the cancer had spread to one of them at least. Getting the catheter out tomorrow and I’m glad as it’s driving me nuts.

Radical prostatectomy in T4 prostate cancer.
Treatment consisted of primary ADT until PSA nadir with consecutive
prostatectomy
. Patients underwent retropubic radical
prostatectomy
(RRP) or robot-assisted laparoscopic
prostatectomy
(RALP) after inductive ADT until achievement of the PSA nadir, which is in general reached after 6-7 months.

Radical Prostatectomy with Bone Metastases
I was wondering, with the latest studies on radical
prostatectomy
in metastatic patients gaining popularity... has anyone had any experience with that? Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated. Keep fighting, handsome warriors. I am thankful for each and every one of you.

Pudendal nerve damage following insertion of Atoms Sling
He had a
Prostatectomy
done around 14 years ago, followed by a round of radiation therapy. The incontinence grew worse until he felt that he needed this device to improve the quality of his life.
