Biopsy & Surgeon #1: January 2025
PSMA & Radiation Oncologist #1: Feb 2025
RO #2, Surgeon #2, Multi-Care team @ MD Anderson: March 2025
Surgeon #4: April 2025

Surgeons #1 & #2 and ROs #1 & #2 were all local to me in Louisville. Traveled to Houston & Columbus, OH for Surgeon/RO #3 and Surgeon #4, respectively.

RARP scheduled for June 16th with Surgeon #4. That relative delay is by my choice because it coincides with normal off-work time.

Thanks Psychometric for exact timeline. It means that all was done in about 3 mos. total form biopsy to surgery - that was very fast and efficient. Wishing you super successful surgery and very fast recovery 🙂 !

PS: What was your gleason and PSA, if I may ask ?

Thanks for sharing. Where did you decide to get RARP done? Could you share a Dr name at MDA you felt good talking with. I live in Houston and starting a similar journey after a Gleason 7 and 8 score in 3 of 12 areas was detected from my biopsy last week. Absolutely no symptoms but PSA was 4.3 and MRI caught the lesion . 66 in good health. Will be getting input from MDA and Methodist teams on next suggested steps . My Urologist is a surgeon in private practice but uses Methodist hospital facilities. Going to listen to a roadmap but think Robotic removal seems most likely with best outcome. TBD Thanks
