I am 78 and had my prostate removed last December. The urologist said I was on the edge of even being considered for surgery and recommended I meet with the radiologist so I could understand the pros and cons of each procedure. I didn’t want to deal with hormone therapy so I went the surgery route. For me it was the right choice as the cancer was completely within the prostate. The surgery was the robotic type and there were some lymph nodes removed but at 12 weeks the PSA levels were undetectable. I go tomorrow for my 24 week blood work. The only negative experience has been dealing with the incontenance. It’s driving me crazy and that makes it very hard on my wife. Even after 3 months of physical therapy for pelvic muscle strength there has been little improvement.
