MCC does not have spell check just a red indication sometimes. But if you type in prostrate no red indication comes up and would not have even noticed. If addressing spelling errors is important to you I am sure I make a lot of them and you can bring them to my attention. I type very fast and sure this is not the only misspelled word.

I belong to several support groups on MCC. I can have 60-70 notifications each day. I try to answer any notification that asked me a question. When I was first on MCC I had tons of questions and appreciated all who answered me and those giving me suggestions and their experience.

I do not see the error you are referring to. "Surgery removes the prostrate all together but unless the cancer cells remained inside the prostate the cancer will not be cured and your PSA levels will rise again."

Does it need more clarification? What you posted as what I meant is the opposite of my intention of post. After surgery if all your cancer cells were inside prostate the surgery cures you. If you had any cancer cells that had spread outside the prostate the surgery did not cure the cancer as it growing elsewhere.

This exact scenario is mentioned over and over on MCC. Individuals had surgery but the cancer returned elsewhere. This indicates at time of surgery the cancer cells were present outside the prostate. Unless the surgery included those areas also it did not catch all the cancer cells.

I think a lot of us because of this very scenario about surgery not always curing prostate cancer suggesting the PSMA and bone scans as so valuable to both radiation and surgery treatments to see if cancer cells are outside the prostate.
