I am now 71, one year after robot assisted radical prostatectomy. I had a Gleason score of 7 (4+3), and my recovery has progressed quite well over the past year.

I'm 71. Seven months ago I had my prostate removed. PSA testing every three months. Grateful for this network of information and support, and wishing everyone good health.

I turned 59 in 2020 but diagnosed with cancer in November 2019. I am also considered young to get this disease. My PSA started going up in 2015. It was around 5 at that time but in 2019 October it went up to 9 so my PCP referred me to a Urologist. After the biopsy, scans, etc., it is determine as stage 4. I started hormone therapy ( Lupron shots in January), Chemo in February( just got me 3rd infusion yesterday abc have 3 more to go), and I’ll be be getting radiation therapy after the Chemos.

I was diagnosed at 60 but probably had it at 57 or 58. Had Davinci RP at 65. I’m just over 1 year with no reoccurrence yet thankfully however I’m still healing and have had issues. Life has changed certainly post prostatectomy.

My husband was 62, he had surgery before robotic surgery came out in 2003 and his PSA was high in 2011 so he had radiation.
