Chicks? I think the jury is still out on that!!!
My Surgeon in Pa. has done over 3000 open RP. He said the samr thing you did, he has a better "FEEL" & "LOOK" at the situation. Divinci is really just another form of surgery. His feeling was at a Gleeson 7 or better ORP is the best solution. I also took a trip to the Cancer Centers of America in IL. for a secon opinion. They only use radiation to treat PC. They did a whole new set of test, & scans and the Dr. told me surgery is a very good treatment. If you radiation first, surgery is not usually a second option, but with surgery, radiation is a doable follow up if necessary.
Dr. Scardino has a book out on PC, and I suggest you get it from the library. He has a couple chapters devoted to surgery and what the doctor should do. He is a top surgeon at SK in New York. I had a friend who had the Divinci a month before me with a inexperienced surgeon, he has MAJOR problems, and a very bleak outlook. Maybe 2 years.
Again it's the surgeon, and his experience & skills. I am a truly happy camper, and looking back, believe it or not, this was a great learning/growing experience.
You'll be fine!
