TM - sounds like you’re on course. Let us know what the pathology is . What was your Gleason score? I had my prostatectomy done at roughly 4.5 or so. again, I was on the early side as I have a Steep family history of prostate cancer. Everything went really well and the anaesthesiologist was fabulous in giving me long acting painkillers. I caught a little bit of an infection in the hospital and had an elevated temperature therefore, I stayed in the hospital for seven days. I got the operation at Royal Columbia Hospital. That’s on the mainland in Vancouver, rather than getting it in Victoria. I moved over to Vancouver Island about one year before I was diagnosed. Therefore, I kept the same doctors and team in Vancouver. It’s a one hour and 20 minute ride to the mainland- however our health system pays for the trip by car or by aircraft if you want to take that 20 minute flight. If you’re staying longer than a day, they will pay for meals and everything else as well. So I kept the same Urology team. Review the pathology very closely. I had a 2 mm breach of the prostate. Not a large breach, but the doctor said it looked like it just happened although the lesion was small and the prostate was small. It did come back at 2 mm breach. The surgeon took extra precautions and took lots of Biopsies around the prostate and two lymph nodes and thankfully they were all negative. Therefore, review your pathology very closely. Here they freeze the tissues of the prostate indefinitely for further sampling and DNA testing. Maybe they can do that there? Gob Bless Sir . James
