Hi Timothy, seems you’ve already had your share of cancer, and now this…
All good comments from the board which you should research before making any decision. I do not know the nature, nor the extent of your complications from your previous surgery, but I am certain you do not want to revisit that scenario.
I am not saying that prostate surgery should be off the table, but some individuals do not do well with any kind of surgery no matter the organ involved.
I looked up your Ivor Lewis surgery and discovered that in this procedure your stomach is pulled upward and repositioned higher in the chest cavity; do you have excess acid reflux or issues because of this? I mention it only because today’s prostate surgery puts you in almost a Trendellenberg position, in which your head is quite a but lower than your feet; not a good position for someone whose stomach is so much closer to the mouth. Acid does not have that far to travel anymore.
Yes, you would be fasting and all that but it may not matter in your situation. I Just bring it up as an additional complication to avoid should you be offered surgery.
Radiation could perhaps be kinder to your body overall and address the cancer just as well. Best of luck!
Phil
