I was having dinner with one of my wife’s best friends and her husband. He is 90 she is 77. We had talked 16 years ago when I was having my prostate cancer surgery. He was talking about the fact that he had a prostatectomy as well, But didn’t mention that it was nine years before. He is an OB/GYN, who just retired at 89.

25 years ago he was told he had prostate cancer because he had a 3+3 Gleason score. Because he was a physician, he wanted the best surgeon in the country to do his prostatectomy. Turns out his prostate was almost 200 cc. He found a surgeon At Johns Hopkins that said he would do nerve sparing. He was an innovator in the technique. He went there to have his surgery and it was a fiasco. Nerve sparing was not done, and he thinks that the surgery was done by a trainee. When he asked to see the medical report on the surgical procedure, he received a report that was about a half a page long. As a doctor, he’s familiar with having reports that are 10 pages covering every single step of the surgery. To say he is furious, would put it mildly. After surgery, they biopsied his prostate and found out he was only a 3+2 something I’ve never heard of.. They should’ve never touched him. This kind of treatment is what led to the ending of PSA testing.
