How much short term disability to seek for robotic prostatectomy?

I really appreciate the prompt and helpful response. In response to your questions:
-They are fairly confident it is T2 but as a precaution I will get a PET Scan in about 1 week the day before I consult with a Mayo Radiation and Robotic Surgery Specialist.
-They have not discussed ADT, I suspect because I told them I expect to make a treatment decision within a week of the PET Scan and consultations and they indicated treatment or surgery can be schedule a month or so after that. Of course this could change based on the PET Scan,
I am really impressed with the Mayo Phoenix medical team. They have shared so much more information than the non-Mayo Urologist/Surgeon, Oncologist and Radiation specialist I consulted with before going to Mayo did. I think they all had great intentions but seemed to lack the time and resources to dive deep into details . . . and the details make a huge difference.

Going to a place like Mayo gives you so many more options because they have multiple people to review what your situation is and to make decisions about what works best. They also have a real depth of knowledge, more than individual offices and many groups.
Mayo in Rochester is going to be getting a woman to lead the PC group that is just fantastic. One of the best in the country. They really try to have the best you can get.
Good luck with the PET scan results. Hopefully it hasn’t spread at all. With a 4+3 and a T2 radiation would work quite well, but let them tell you what is best for you.
