@saradruss
Thank you for your input
And im sorry for your husbands misfortune
And at this point...i stopped all ideas of removal until cancer is proving, I will watch for my PSA doubling timing.
Which it hasnt...
It did raise to 16.9 and then back down to 11's
But on finasteride it was 5.27 of course you double that number and im back at 11's
I think the issue i had with urnation was that i stopped finasteride in Feb..by July 18th i couldnt urnate...which im thinking because my prostate got large again..and cut off flow
Went back on after my first ER visit..in July
And im back to normal again
What is weird my libdo is back..which had been gone for months
Maybe my body has adjusted to finasteride???
Who knows

@casd57 whew! I’m glad you’re doing good. I just told you about my husband so you can keep that in the back of your mind. We all know that there’s always a chance of the surgeon messing up, but we didn’t expect it for my husband to be one of them.
I pray that God be with you on your journey. May He keep blessing you with good health. Take care of yourself, which I see that you are. Blessings always.

It definitely sounds like you should visit a center of excellence. You could go to Hutch in Washington state. You do need a urologist, not an Oncologist unless they find something. This is the place to contact.
Hutch in Washington state
Both GU Oncologists
Dr. Michael Schweitzer. A real good oncologist
Dr. Lawrence Fong
There’s another one in Oregon if that’s closer
