My robotic had to be stopped as the cancer was too close to the Apex and I would have been made incontinent requiring a future operation to fix it

Also the could not intubate me so 6 anesthesiologists worked on getting a infant tube in me for 40 minutes while one hand pumped my breathing and surgeon twiddle his thumbs.

3 months later I had 40 times radiation which got the cancer. Put on Zolodex injections for 2 years In fifth year cancer metastasized to my L2 lumbar, and spine Had 1 inch cancer nuked off my L2 and now back on Zolodex for almost 2 years PSA was 1.2 down from 26, but last week it was 4,22

Getting checked out Bone scan and maybe another MRI

Robotic is good if you get full investigation of what could happen before hand Radiation is excellent and simple too

Thank you for your reply. I was not aware that robotic surgery can be stopped mid way. Is there any chance that some cancer may still be left behind even if the prostrate is removed completely. How safe is the surgery for my age of 72 years. Wishing you a very long & healthy life & May god bless you always
