@oldoz -- Yeah, I agree. I'm actually very happy with my surgical outcome at Mayo Phoenix. Dr. Paul Andrews was my surgeon at Mayo and I think he did excellent work on me. That said, I agree with @jeffmarc's comment that your data is pretty old and you'll probably need some new tests to determine the most effective treatment for you. But Mayo Phoenix is a cancer center of excellence and I believe they'll give you excellent advice on additional testing and treatment options. As someone already mentioned, I'd also recommend getting Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer Paperback – October 3, 2023. It's on Amazon and it's the best $20 I ever spent. It really helped educate me on some key points in my decision making. Best wishes to you and yours.

Thanks for the comment, I ordered the book. How long does the procedure usually last?
