This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
This is an interesting discussion. I had been under the impression that robotic surgery would leave at least a small amount of tissue behind. The reason I have this impression is that my Surgeon, who has extensive robotic experience, said that I would not qualify for robotic surgery because of the apparent advanced nature of my cancer. He said that with robotic, he could not reach as far as he knew he would need to. Maybe there is some other reason for that statement, however.
