Prostate Cancer (Merged)
I am age 63 and flew for 30 years mostly longhall.
I have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer (PSA 8.1 and biopsy result 2 cores out of 8 Gleason score 3+3=6). MRI scan indicates cancer confined to the prostate. I had an uncle (my father's brother) who died from this cancer age 74.
I have decided to go for a Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy. This is comparatively new in the UK but has been used for some time in the US.
I would welcome comments from anyone who has first hand information on this operation.
