My husband is a Gleason 9, with spread to 1lymph node. We had a phone conversation with U of I and Rochester. The U of I was basically doom and gloom. We will need to take the nerve bundles on one side, we will need to do radiation and ADT right away.

Mayo was we have got this! He had removal early October and has been continent since the catheter was removed. His nerves were spared. His 3month PSA was undetectable. We know it will most likely come back but this has been a gift.

Great decision to go with Mayo. What a fantastic center of excellence for prostate cancer. University of Iowa is a good hospital, but not even in the ballpark with Mayo-Rochester when it comes to prostate cancer.
