John,
Your advice has been well taken and I really appreciate the guidance. Went to my family Dr and I am scheduled fto see a different Dr. next Tuesday at a KU Med Center . From everything I've been hearing and from other individuals who have had actual dealings with him, he sounds as if he a very capable and compationate urologist/onocoligist.
In addition to your comments, my family dr has put my mind at ease and pretty much agrees with my conclusion that total removal may or may not be the course. However, if that is where everything points then I will more than likely opt for the da Vinci Prostatectomy. A plus about this new Dr is that he is known to address all the different conventional procedures and in addition is that he is highly skilled in using this "robotic" surgical procedure. Granted it really depends on this 2nd look by the new Dr. though!
