Thank you Bob! We are speaking to the surgeon on Friday to find out a bit more and then will have to literally list out adv and disadv of both and help my Father decide!

Hello

I was diagnosed beginning Sept 2020 - G 3+4, and G3+3 other side. I’m 66, fit and active, and a respectable weight of 11st 3 at 5’7. PSA3.8

I was given all options, but decided against AS, decided against RT & HT as really wanted to get on with things, so RALP surgery at Pinderfields 23/10/20.

Now three weeks post surgery:-

- No pain since day after surgery

- Feel 95%, just walked 9miles today

- Dry at night no incontinence

- Using 1 maybe 2 pads per day... but improving

- Today, 7 weeks after surgery usually 1 pad per day max, was told earlier today that this weeks post surgery PSA is < 0.005.... undetectable.

Joined the ED clinic today so all good going forward and happy with my surgery decision.

good luck.

bobsuffolk pooints out that you could be treated twice if you go down the surgery route - and PCa reoccurs. That's usually seen as an advantage, because if you go down the RT route and it reoccurs, surgery is very difficult.
