My partner was diagnosed with Pca last fall – Gleason 9 (5+4) in 60% of two of the cores (adenocarcinoma). Pre-op bone scans and CT scans were clean
He was operated on in January --robot-assisted radical, no nerves spared, lymph nodes removed.

Stuart,
What kind of side-effects did/have you had from the radiation treatments? (increased incontinence, ED, bleeding, etc)
Nate: I dunno who your urologist is but I can tell you that Mario Eisenberger has forgotten more about prostate cancer than most oncologists ever learn, so I think you are in good hands. I've known Mario for nearly 20 years now.
Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the note and suggestion.Just went to my Urologist yesterday and my PSA was still
0.4.He suggested that I have a PSA every 3 months and not do anything at this time.Since both he and my oncologist are both saying the same thing…
I was advised whern my psa reached 0.4 to begin IMRT radiation. I went to Dattoli Cancer Center in Sarasota, Fl. and
started treatment in May 2004. After 43 days of radiation my psa has been 0.003 for five years. I thank the Good Lord
each day for s…

Nate my psa 3 months after RP was 0.5. When it reached 2.5 I started on Casodex 150mg and Proscar. The PSA immediately dropped to UD. After one year I went intermittent using only Proscar and then Avodart. The first off period lasted 3 years. Return…

Burt said… - I had lap removal myself. My PSA was <0.1 for the first 3 years and then jumped to 0.1 where it has stayed. Both my surgeon in Aventura and my urologist here in Tucson where I live are not concerned nor have recommended any treatment at this time. I am a dental surgeon myself (periodontist) and my own feeling with any cancer is that there probably are some remaining cells in all cases. It is in conceivable to me that whatever technique is done surgically cannot assure 100% removal of all microscopic size cells from a small organ to begin with. Thus we have to hope and trust, and our age (68 for me) that somthin else will get us first anyway.
Hope this helps
