Unfortunately; Dr. Walsh's book does not address Stage T3 (seminal vesicle) involvement in his book. Very disappointing. Better researching it on the web.

Do you have the 2023 edition of the book? I’m a stage three prostate cancer patient and I recall that it addressed stage 3 thoroughly. Some of the information related to treatment options and side effects is spread out over several chapters.
I had Gleason 9 with extracapular extension and perinueral involvement. Dr. Ash Ross from Northwestern Medicine in Chicago did salvage prostatectomy and removed my prostate, Seminal vesicles, one nerve bundle, and all the lymph nodes he could reach.
What’s your situation? if it’s at all similar to mine, I can relate what I know to you and also point to areas in the book that might be helpful assuming you’ve got the latest edition.
