Hello Ed,
I just wanted to get back to you on my decisions and progress. I had robotic prostate surgery on October 23rd.
The surgery went very well and I was
released from the hospital the next day. Dr. Robert Nelson with
Virginia Urology performed the surgery at St. Mary’s hospital, here in
Richmond, VA. I was very pleased with the care I was given there. Dr.
Nelson said the odds are less than 1% chance that the
cancer got outside of the prostate gland and no further treatment is
scheduled at this time other than the usual PSA tests. I return to Dr.
Nelson’s office on Nov. 1st for my post-op check and hopefully remove this catheter. I have not needed to
take any pain medications since I left the hospital. I am looking forward to a full recovery in the next few weeks.
I
wanted to thank you again for taking the time to talk with me and
sending me all the information you did. It was very helpful during my
process of deciding
what my next steps would be after the diagnosis.
Thanks again and Best wishes to you.
Charlie Keene
