Hi, my hubby has prostate cancer, gleeson 6, tmn 2, saw surgeon who recommended that my hubby had his prostate removed, even though it's not aggressive, the surgeon said there were lots of positive biopsies. And because my hubby is 49, he didn't recommend active surveillance, as he didn't know how quickly it would spread with it being all over his prostate. Advised against radiotherapy as he said he would get bowel and or bladder cancer by the time he's 70 as it destroys these. Suggested seeing radiotherapy consultant to way up options & then decide what we'd like to do. He'd use Da-vinci robotic surgery method. His major concern is sexual function afterwards, surgeon advised that nerve damage is less because of robotic surgery, so this would avoid any ED. A little overwhelming. Any thoughts from anyone who has had the surgery?
