SECOND PSA READING POST SURGERY

The second reading remains as good as the first. I will be writing a column on Prostate cancer that should be published in the next three weeks and will be posted here.

  1. I have seen your columns on Prostate Cancer, and wanted to post some comments. I am a prostate cancer survivor of 11 years, with my annual PSA readings of < 0.1 since my prostate was removed.

    Although my PSA test was 0.57 (pre-surgery), my urologist asked for an ultrasound because of my reported symptoms. The ultrasound showed a small dark spot on my prostate, and the following needle biopsy proved it to be prostate cancer.

    I elected for surgical removal of my prostate and am thankful I chose this method. During surgery, my urologist discovered that the prostate cancer had spread from the prostate to a portion of my bladder. He removed all visible signs of the cancer, and was only able to effect the nerve-sparing on one side due to the spread to the bladder area (to allow for limited erection after recovery).

    After I recovered from the prostate removal, my doctor recommended and I followed up with external directed radiation treatment which ran 5 days a week for several months.

    I had an initial post-surgery period with incontinence, but soon grew into the "it may be slow, but at least it is flowing under control" zone.

    Years later, I am glad I elected full removal of the prostate because that helped fix the cancer that had spread to my bladder. And the best news is that I survived not only the prostate cancer, but the melanoma cancer that was reported to me three days after I was informed of the prostate cancer. And life goes on.......
