Prostate cancer

Less than one minute read time.
Has anyone out there had a radical prostatectomy? I'm recovering after having mine in September. Just wondered how other guys recoveries have gone.

    Hi Mark

    Just wanted to welcome you to the 'club'! You have definately come to the right place for information etc plus a lot of support.  Obviuosly I do not know personally what you are asking but there are a lot of gentelmen (and not-so-gentlemen lol) who are in a similar situation who I am sure will be  along soon.

    Take care

    I'm sorry that I can't be of much help here.   I have Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.    However, after many many months of pain in my groin area I'm told that my prostrate is somewhat enlarged.    (Previously OK in a scan last year)     There's no direct plan of action for me as yet, but I was wondering whether my symptoms were shared by you Mark - groin pain etc.

    I'm only just getting 'used' to the idea of NHL, so a a possible new development is not quite what I had in mind for 2009.

    Any general pointers would be appreciated.  

    Hope things work out for you Mark.

    Hi,

    I had a few aches and pains in my lower back/hips, nothing in the groin area.

    A simple blood test indictated my PSA level was high.... testing by the hospital discovered prostate cancer.

    Whatever is there, just face it with a positive attitude.
