Open or Robotic Prostatectomy
Open or Robotic? A new wrinkle has cropped up in my journey towards prostatectomy. I have a penile implant whose reservoir is right next to my prostate. My surgeon (who I am reliably told is the best prostatectomy surgeon in the area, Dr L) told me that there is a risk of damaging the reservoir

PSA 6.9 six years after prostatectomy but PET/CT negative?
Weird situation here. Had a prostatectomy at Hopkins in early 2018. Organ-confined but Gleason on pathology was 4+5. For a little over two years PSA remained undetectable...and then, well, I kind of slacked off the test. Stupid and reckless on my part. After a roughly 3-year interval I recently

Laparotomy, Radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
I had a major surgery about 8 months ago but the pain around my stomach hasn't gone away. My blood tests and CT scan results are normal.They mentioned that have adhesions which make me in pain all day all night, so I only rely on the pain reliefs.

Living life after a prostatectomy
In 2021 was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I went through the operation and 2 months later lost my spouse of almost 50 years. Obviously, I had a lot put on my plate at one time. I'm on hormone therapy and it's dropped my PSA from 1 to .1. I would love to talk to someone who is going through the same

Time course of radiation effects
My profile shows more details but in summary I have Gleason 4+4 prostate cancer, diagnosed 7/15 and treated with
radical
prostatectomy
followed by pelvic radiation and 18 months of Lupron. After about 18 months off treatment new spread to sacral bone was found on choline 11 PET scan.

ADT before Surgery?
I have a prostatectomy which is probably 6-8 weeks in my future. My outlook is that metastasis in imminent. (T3bM0n0 and no evidence of cancer outside the gland as of May 25 PSMA PET scan, but I am told I am intermediate/unfavorable and my PSA went from 10 to 12 in only a month.) Today is August 18.

Updates on my father
My father was scheduled for a simple robotic prostatectomy which turned in a partial cystectomy .. The surgeon found a well oval encapsulated mass in the bladder in the size of 14 cm which he removed it . He also did a simple prostatectomy , his prostate was enlarged but not as big as the doctor thought

TURP and Prostatectomy
I am looking at a prostatectomy, but I had a TURP 8 yrs ago. How does this change the risk factors and my potential quality of life for a prostatectomy? If I did radiation therapy, they would like me to have another TURP to remove some of the prostate that is growing into the bladder before starting

Any bad experiences with AUS’s, especially re sex?
I’ve suffered from heavy urinary incontinence for over a decade since my prostatectomy in 2011. After hearing about the high success rate and positive impact of artificial urinary sphincters (AUS’s), I’m about ready to request my experienced prostate surgeon at Kaiser to install one for me – if I can

Simple Prostatectomy
Hello everyone , My father was diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer in March of 2021, PSA 6900 … After 3 months on Eligard his PSA dropped to 0.6 and it has been so for more than 2 years now.

Suspicious Lung Nodule "Disappeared" w/ Eligard (Lupron)??
I'm currently being treated (prostate bed only) with radiation for recurring prostate cancer that came back after
radical
prostatectomy
12 years ago. First PSMA in 2021 showed no spread.
