What did your surgeon say?
I would honestly ask the surgeons opinion on that. I am sorry you are going through this! Let us know how everything goes,
Sending love your way
Thank you
I haven’t found one yet. My Eurolagist specializes in HIFU which is not covered by insurance.

Okay, do not give up! I have faith everything will work out
I had a Radical Prostatectomy in July at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for prostate cancer and the surgeon did open surgery. My PSA is now 0.01 from a PSA of 7 and a Cleason score of 7. He said he had to because of the previous j-pouch surgery. My j-pouch surgery was done in 2001 and was not robotic back then. You really need to ask the surgeon. Good Luck!
I had my jpouch in 2005. I will thank you for the advise.

Found a surgeon Dr. Gill out of USC Keck Medical Center. Having Robotic Surgery on Wednesday December 16th. Praying for all the cancer to be removed and a quick recovery. In Jesus name amen!
Praying for a successful surgery! My dad had prostate cancer a few years back, had surgery and is doing great! Let us know how it goes.
I will thank you!
I'm wishing you well. My dad also had prostate cancer surgery about 10 years ago and is doing really well.
Thank you that really helps me
