Prostate Cancer W/ Chrones & Fistulas

Subject: Prostate Cancer w/ Chrones & Fistulas
Date: 11/24/2007

I have just been diagnosed, at the age of 55, with Prostate Cancer with an elevated PSA 4.2 and a Bioposy revealing a Gleason score of 6 and a Stage of P1c.

All indications show an early diagnosis. I am told that both Raidiation and Surgery are both very good options.

Because I have had Chrones since 1983. I have been told that Exrernal Radiation is not an option and that Seed Implants would be best for this direction.

I have been leaning towards Robotic Surgery.

My last interview with a Robotic Surgeon revealed that he is showing concerns about possible issues that the prostrat may be "Cemented" to the rectum with scar tissue from the Chrones and Fistula and that this surgery my be risky due to possible damage to the rectum.

I am curious if any one else has had this problem.
