Re: Surgeon did not disclose important info before surgery

Thanks to everyone that responded. I find myself now with a rising PSA of 2.24, 6 months after surgery - it never went undetectable. I am in consultation withseveral oncologists, and it looks like ADT and radiation will be the route in the near future. In reply to the person that thinks I may have forgotten that my surgeon did inform me of the advanced stage of my cancer, please, that would not be something any of us would forget. At this point I feel robbed, because surgery was probably not the best way to go, and I am looking at ADT and radiation anyway. The truama a RP leaves on the body, plus the side effects, could have been avoided. My suggestion to all PC patients out there, and and all patients, make sure you get results from ALL your tests, never leave anything to the discretion of your doctors.
