Saw my doctor... He indicated the urgency to get my prostate and all the surrounding lymph nodes removed. Requested robotic procedure for April 6. Hospital canceled it due to our governor's emergency decree for here in NM. Can't even get a response now from their message mychart system. Just left in limbo. Prayer is my safe place in this time of uncertainty... He's got this!

@papabill- Welcome to Mayo Connect. Your situation is just terrible. I can't imagine not being able to be treated for my lung cancer if need be due to this virus. Decisions being made during this pandemic are very hard to accept. Life was so normal and all of a sudden we have a new one- no time to even get used to it. There are still so many questions about this virus that have yet been answered. I'm thinking that all energy is being focused on stopping the spread of COVID-19 and because it is killing a lot of doctors and nurses and putting the rest of us on hold. It's such a horrible situation for all of us.
Have you considered calling your Oncologist? How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?
