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.
I met with Sylvester surgeon yesterday. He is willing to do either retropubic (open) or da Vinci surgery. He does feel that because of my prior abdominal surgery and weight he could run into problems with da Vinci.
I feel I am better with open surgery as I don't want a da Vinci surgery aborted because of prior scarring.
However, I am reading surgical margins are a bigger problem with open surgery.
Any suggestions for me as I will have to make a decision on Wednesday.
