Thank you for your focus: Another curve ball thrown at me today. I went to UMiami health today which I had on the books for a last opinion. They are strongly recommending that I don’t have surgery since there appears to be no space between the tumor and my rectum. This was a huge red flag for them. I reached out to my NYU surgeon to ask him if he sees this as well. Nothing back yet. The NYU surgeon was straight forward that my left neuro vascular bundle has to be excised and he has to go wide near the apical apex. Basically ED more likely and incontinece too.. and now possible rectum damage. I’m freaking. All this for maybe 60% chance I’m good after surgery. I’m rethinking two things now . Taking ADT for 3-4 months to shrink the tumor to make surgery more viable ( I know that no data on better long term outcomes) or go the radiation route. Man, I can’t catch a break with this. Distressing.
