My best to you and your husband. I amsure everythign will be fine. I have a client who just had the robotic surgery and swears by it.In fact, there is a video of him talking about it on the website of one of our local tv statins. PM me and I’ll send you the link.
I’d forgotten you relocated. Hope it all went well. I can’t believe your d. is a sr already! Where did the time go? Seems like jsut yesterday we were chatting about our kids at rice. Now they are almost done ! scary!</p>
<p>Boy I sure can’t type at 11:48 at night! Hope you can decipher the above message! My best to you and hubby! Let me know if you want the link to the video about the robotics procedure. He researched every surgical option (also in early stages, like your h) and felt the robotics was the best. He has been very satisfied withthe outcome.</p>
<p>
I stated what I knew about the case and that is no more than what has been posted on this thread: the subject is 61, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and opted for surgery. I have tried to be supportive of the person’s decision in my posts. I have not been the one posting information that can only serve to confuse and contradict whatever decision making process the patient has already gone through to arrive at his choice and that will discourage others from even discussing screening with their doctor. </p>
<p>And that will be my last post on this subject.</p>
<p>H had his prostate cancer surgery today and all went well. He will be in the hospital overnight and then home tomorrow. He is pretty groggy from the pain meds. Now for the recovery!!! Thanks for all your best wishes and PMs.</p>
<p>I am glad you posted…I was thinking about you and your H tonight wondering how everything was going. Hoping for a quick and easy recovery!!</p>
<p>MOWC~</p>
<p>I am so glad that this surgery is now behind your husband. I am sure that is a HUGE relief for both of you! From our family to yours…We wish for your dh a speedy and complete recovery and good health from here on out! :)</p>
<p>love, ~berurah et al</p>
<p>Thinking about you guys MOWC. Cyber hugs from across the oceans…</p>
<p>MOWC, what awful news, and great hope for a successful outcome. Our prayers and best wishes to your husband.</p>
<p>(On a related note…)</p>
<p>I have to get a complete physical every year as a Scout leader going to summer camp. My doctor’s office loves it when I call to schedule a “camp physical” each spring. The doc says he likes the way Boy Scouts force middle-aged men to come in for physicals. Harumph. Middle-aged, indeed. (My PSA test was less than 1 – woo-hoo! Let’s just not talk about hypertension, OK?)</p>
<p>thanks for letting us know you got through surgery day, MoWC. May your husband be surrounded by wise counsel and good medicine till he feels restored.</p>
<p>Best wishes for a speedy recovery!</p>
<p>Oh MoWC - I was wondering how things were going. My bf had her mastectomy last week and my mom’s surgery is Monday, so I have had you and your husband in my thoughts as well. Please know we are all working overtime sending the good vibes your way.</p>
<p>Just sending out wishes to everyone for good health and quick recoveries!</p>
<p>MOWC so glad all is going well. Best wishes to your H.</p>
<p>2dsdad, thanks for posting the age recs. My H. is a physician and was arguing that he didn’t need to do this yet (he’s 51)–so I trotted out your info.</p>
<p>Also, everyone–please get your colonoscopies done. In the past month we have lost 2 friends to colon cancer–one in his 40’s and one in his 50’s.</p>
<p>My husband started getting his PSA at 45…no family history, just his doctor’s comfort zone. Is 50 the age to start with colonoscopies? That just sounds like such a fun way to spend an afternoon doesn’t it? :o</p>
<p>I think the revealed wisdom is 50 for your first colonoscopy, unless you have a family history. I DO have a family history and am due to go in again this year. If they give you enough drugs it is a remarkably un-troubling experience…</p>

Glad all went well. Did he have the Da Vinci Robotic surgery?
and ldmom06-
Good luck with all your families upcoming surgeries. Who is having the mastectomy? I read “bf” as “boyfriend” and I KNOW that cant be right! :)</p>
