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.

I believe I got the edition of his book prior to 2021, If he has updated it I will definitely seek it out. His older version had only 2 or 3 pages that were all negative on the subject briefly and nothing more.

Since then, I have learned much more about Stage 3 including my own personal experience which is negative PSA 4 years post surgery. I remain on top of all the information available as one never knows. Thank you for the heads' up on the newer addition. Progress is constantly being made in the field and I am convinced things are looking up overall.
