Re: my husband
If you need another opinion Dr Gilad Amiel with Baylor Collage of medicine (Urology, Oncology) just did my dads operation to remove his bladder and prostate. He specializes in robotic surgery as well. We have been very pleased with the whole process and patient interaction. He has practicing rights at St Lukes and MD Anderson.
Our prayers are with him and the family.

Re: my husband update 4/3
we went to MD Anderson today.
We took the MRI Robert had done last week with us, we still didn't have a reading from it, but we had it on CD so we took it.
We met with a "fellow" and her surgeon, (he's wonderful, has done over 1600!) and a radiologist and her resident and lots of nurses.
We learned from the MRI that the cancer is also outside of the prostate, it's in the seminal vesicles and it's on the outside of the prostate.
Surgery seems to be the right choice now. probably followed by radiation, but that will be decided later.
6 long hours!!!
Surgery is scheduled for April 30th at MD Anderson

Re: my husband update 4/3
The right treatment always starts with the right diagnosis, and MD Anderson uses a collaborative team approach where team members present treatment plan ideas, the team vets each one, and arrives at a group consensus on a recommendation for the patient. This, combined with the fact that MDA hires only the cream of the crop of cancer specialists, is a large part of the reason for their very high rate of good outcomes.SewTexas wrote:we went to MD Anderson today.

Their presentation to the patient is also thorough and understandable so the patient can make good informed decisions instead of being pushed into a course of treatment that they're not sure is best.
Your husband is in good hands. We will continue to pray for successful treatment and rapid and complete recovery for him, and strength and faith for you.
