I had my RRP performed by a local urologist surgeon in Barrington Il. I truly think that it was a mistake for me. I should have gone to a center of excellence first. It is a 2 1/2 commute for me to go into Northwestern in Chicago. My oncologist is Dr Vanderweele and I would highly recommend him. But I have also heard good things about the GU Oncologists at the University of Chicago. You have cancer, see a GU Oncologist.

@aldenrobert Sorry to hear you have regrets. I know this is a one and done and that stats I read said about 29 percent regret their decision (radiation vs. RRP). Glad to hear you have a good oncologist-hang in there!
