The prostatectomy took the nerve bundles and 25 lymph nodes as well as the prostate, of course. No cancer cells in any of the lymph nodes so they determined no metastasis and no chemo or radiation. We were glad for that as it gives a better outcome should he eventually need his bladder removed. He will be on blood thinners until he has zero chance of bladder cancer (which may be never). He HAS to work until he is 65 in order to keep his insurance as we can’t afford self insurance. His work insurance still has a $10k annual out of pocket and costs $400 a month for just him. So he has four more years to work and doesn’t want to deal with a urostomy bag as a truck driver if he can avoid it. So we go every 4 mo to check.
