I have had the robotic surgery almost 4 years ago. I can speak to you regarding the experience and what to expect. Feel free to call at 828.244.1400
I'm no doctor so my opinion may be refuted, but I would not wish to have surgery - robotic or regular - by someone who has done 200. As long as robotic has been around you should find someone well qualified with 1,000 + to his/her credit. Just an op…

John Stankus said… - Hello Chuck, I'm still pretty new to the network and appreciated reading the stories. I'm 48yo and was just diagnoised w/ PC in September 2008 w/ PSA 152, and advanced disease. Currently on a clinical study for 6 weeks, then having the RP, w/ radiation and hormone following. Since you were at the similiar age, I can relate and would be willing to offer stories from my journey. I've been keeping a journal from day one. If interested, email: stankus_john@comcast.net

- Well, great to have you. As an unprofessional writer of Behind the Mask, a series of short meditations, I'd invite you to Books and Blogs, as Angela suggested. That's where we congregate to kibbitz about publishers and editors and such.
There are many prostate cancer books. Have you seen Korda and/or Ford's?

Angela Jenkins said… - Chuck - welcome to the network! I'm sure our members will be more than glad to share their stories with you. There are survivors for every treatment option here. The one thing we all have in common is today.....we're here to tell our story. Take a look around at the groups and discussions and join any that interest you - you might consider joining the surgery and books and blogs groups. And maybe meet Jerry Perisho, he's a comedy writer. On the main site, we have current articles and research updated daily. If you have any questions, let us know - we'll be glad to help. Thanks so much for joining us.....and invite others to join us as well.

Tony Crispino said… - Hi Chuck,
Welcome to the InfoLink. You and I have some things is common in that I was just 44 when I was found to have an advanced disease. My writings are about supporting others, and stories about my experiences. I have had quite a journey with it, and I invite you to my page which has my web blog address on it. I too had no symptoms, and a bunch of surprises along the way. I would like to talk to you about your experiences as a speaker, as I have done some spots and articles. i learn from anybody willing to share these things. Anyway, my email address is tc@nectech.net. Again welcome and have a look around. The site is pretty awesome!

Prostate Cancer, Disability and Vietnam Veterans...
While this entry may be short the benefit may be great. As many who read my blogs know, I am writing a book on Prostate Cancer (from a layman's perspective). As part of that process I am interviewing men from all around the world - talking with them about their experiences - both physically and emotionally.
Today in that process, while talking with a man who completed his treatment two months ago, I was introduced to something that I had not heard before. Now let me state at the outset...I am n… Continue

Urologists Take Note - The Real Truth About A Prostate Biopsy!
At first I thought I was just a "wimp." At the urging of my family doctor I went to a urologist for a prostate check. She (my family doctor) said my PSA was a bit high for my age - 4.58 PSA and I was 47 years old.
Now let me state...I didn't even know what a PSA was until she forced the test when I was having routine blood work done. Something I hated as I had a fear of needles.
The urologist did the "bend over boy" routine finding nothing with his "DRE" - Digital Rectal Exam. Now I have to be… Continue

Prostate Cancer Research - Data for a new Book - Your Help Needed!
Let me be clear from the beginning - I am not a physician, not a part of the medical community, nor associated with any organization that profits from cancer or it’s treatment. Rather, I am a man who is a prostate cancer survivor. I have been through what, if you are reading this, you are going through or someone you love is going through and I know the ropes. That does not mean I have the answers to all your questions, but more than likely I have asked them.
