Hi. Thank you for the response. His PSA in 12/25 was almost 4.
The highest Gleason score was a 7.
He has multiple areas of cancer in his prostate and an area of cribiform.
We didn't get much info regarding the cribiform. Or much info at all.
He's scheduled for prostate removal next month.
I'm concerned with the lack of information from the surgeon.

@myboo2u It’s important that all lines of communication are open. This is one of the most important decisions he’ll ever make; he’ll have to live with this for the rest of his life.
His urologist should’ve had this level of discussion with him —> This is a 2023 presentation out of Stanford University that’s titled “Penile Rehab: Optimizing Recovery of Erectile Function after Prostate Cancer Treatment.” They talk about things to do before and after surgery: https://youtu.be/aRp1NXjPGLE
