Total truth- they cannot guarantee no PCa spread, clear margins, clear scans are still no guarantee...there are patients with the all clear assessments, who found it wasn't all removed or found. Robotic is somewhat oversold, there are some good arguements for having open prostatectomy. There are many ways to treat PCa, the more you know on everything...the better off you might be. They cannot see micro mets even with any scanning method available. Find out 4 yourself.
@jenisoutofhermind Do you know the financial disparity between breast cancer research and prostate cancer research? Look it up. It will make you feel better.
Congrats Mark on your great result - as good as it gets. I really felt for you and relived a moment when the Dr first reviewed your pathology report. Whew. I had a Davinci surgery 1 yeay ago at age 49 and also got a great result. My key learning - those with a family history must test yearly beginning at age 40. I tested twice before my PCa became a wildfire without my knowing it. To anyone reading this - please get tested - it is a simple blood test- it makes all the difference.
