Hi doctor. March 6th ‘23 my prostate biopsies came back positive. Two nodules came back as 3+4=7 Gleason, the remaining 10 core samples were Gleason 3+3, and two negs. One of the two 7’s was 2.2 cm (right side, 80% ca. volume) and the other 1.8 cm (left side, 30% ca. volume). No nodules were detected by touch during digital exam by my urologist. He said it was “smooth”. He recommended approx. a 3 month wait for my prostate to heal before having radical prostatectomy if I chose that route. When I saw a surgeon last month, April 10, he scheduled me for surgery on June 14, and said no problem if I cancel/postpone because he had 10 other guys waiting in line ahead of me. He said if he removed my prostate he most likely would have to remove the nerves on the right side due to nerve bundle intrusion close to the margin, sparing the left side. I do trust this surgeon in south Florida but don’t think he has the support staff behind him that patients could get in a Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital in NYC. So I chose to get a second opinion, and now have an appt. with a top chief surgeon there [MSK] on July 3. Time wise, is this the usual course/time frame prostate cancer patients in my level/stage have? From my MRI in Feb, indicating probable malignancy, to hopefully getting surgery in Aug. would make it a six month process. It just seems like a long time to wait for the wheels of our health system to move. Thank you for your patience and your comments if you’d, please.
Thank you for your question. It can be concerning to have to wait for consultations and access to treatment. One good news is that low grade prostate cancer tends to progress very slowly and can in some cases be managed with active surveillance. Higher grade cancer confined to the prostate is normally treated with resection. Prostate cancer resection does carry risk of nerve damage which can lead to impotence and or incontinence. If there is concern it is always wise to seek additional opinions from expert and experienced specialists. It can also be helpful to have the pathology specimens reviewed to confirm accuracy of diagnosis.
@@cancerinformant Thank you doctor. 👍🏻
Well out of date - TURP has been superceeded by Holep - Safer, more effective, and less hopsital time.
Thank you for bringing that to our attention, we appreciate your feedback!
Is there an option for metabolic therapy to block gluetamin and glucose to starve the cancer.
A LOW Carb diet with healthy fats/oils
Brother has a prostate problem no dr has figured out. It started in the army and he just gets blood coming out. Happen the other day - tons of blood- drs think stress and can’t pinpoint it - any thoughts
Blood in urine is a potentially serious problem he should see a urologist. The diagnosis could be kidney disease , kidney stones, infection, trauma or cancer. A proper examination by a qualified doctor is needed.
@@cancerinformant yes he has seen drs at the best hospital John Hopkins and Walter reed. He saw the urologist the same day last week and got more blood work and ct scan - yet in 20 yrs they can’t explain it
@@cancerinformant we just happen to be going to John Hopkins the day it happened and they saw him but … no dr figured out why - just that we don’t know everything about the body
My dad is pissing blood and stolen weak fices with little blood
This is of high concern, your father should consult with a doctor as soon as possible.
