Geeeze Louise... Not sure what I have or have not said here but my prostate cancer got worse and the prostate had to come out. Bunch of tests, scans all that showed no spread and contained...thank god.
Single Port Laparoscopic versus multi port due to my hernia mesh surgery a few years ago. Was supposed to take 2 - 2.5 hours and took almost 4.5 hours due to some issues with the past "open" colon resection and hernia mesh surgery. Seems they didn't put everything back were it belonged and I had a lot of adhesion's from both.
Had it done Thursday 10-19. The incision area doesn't hurt much at all but that gas they pump into you to work hurts like hell, especially when it works it's way up to your shoulders..... Ouch
Because of the additional work they want the catheter in for 2 weeks versus 1 week.... arrg but I am getting used it it. Maybe TMI, but the pecker is much shorter.
They wouldn't give me the prostate to put in a pickle jar cause they had to send it to pathology for testing, make sure I had the needed margin, make sure I won't need any radiation ect. Hopefully I'm done
All in all...I'm good. I'd encourage you guys to make sure you are checking on your prostate health, especially if you are having trouble peeing or if your PSA comes back over 3 or so.
Thanks for listening....hope this might help someone that needs to have this done.
