We have the exact same urologist and I also met with him yesterday to discuss options!! Small world.
It really helped me looking up laprascopic prostatectomy here on this forum. There were lots of positive feedback stories and some very helpful suggestions on how to prepare and what to expect afterwards.
If I may ask, who did you speak with in Denver? I am also planning to get second opinions now and possibly looking at surgery mid-summer.

I saw Dr. Tzou at UC North Memorial. I was referred by Dr. Telang to her as he wanted me to see a radiation oncologist. I saw Dr. Robin at Anschutz in Denver. He basically confirmed what the other doctors had told me. They also were very willing to refer me to Mayo in Phoenix if I wished.

I am getting a second opinion from Dr. Mancini at St. Francis on Monday.

How do you find Dr. Telang? I feel he has been very honest with me and done all the things he was supposed to be doing ( confirming scans etc).

Just looking to confirm his experience. I sometimes think I should have gone to Mayo right away, and still wonder if surgery is the way to go. The requirement for ADT if I do radiation is what is driving me to surgery.
