tinyclark Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well, I have to let everyone know that I am the proud father of a removed cancerous prostate. I had an elevated PSA, so that led to a biopsy, and then surgery yesterday. The surgery was done up here in Seattle by a well known urologist that performs the procedure with the Davinci robotic aid, using 5 small holes and a stereo lens camera. He told me that everything went excellent, and I will make a full recovery. Play on guys, and have your PSA checked!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wilson Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Your a lucky guy Tiny, there are so many guys that die of this type cancer, its great they got to you in time. Here is my best wishes for you to make a full recovery and no metastasis in your future. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Tiny, Glad to hear that all went well with the procedure---the one part I didn't understand was 'Seattle'. Isn't that a long way from Valdosta? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Tiny, Glad to hear that all went well with the procedure---the one part I didn't understand was 'Seattle'. Isn't that a long way from Valdosta? John Seattle is a long way from Valdosta. But, they only do open surgery in Valdosta. Mine was done using the daVinci robot. http://www.davincisurgery.com/?id=ycc&OVRAW=da%20vinci%20robotic%20surgery&OVKEY=da%20vinci%20robotic%20surgery&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=14522277011&OVKWID=111777024011 This is the only way to go. I'm glad my brother-in-law is a doctor up here and knew a very good urologist who has done almost 200 of these procedures. Thanks for all the positive thoughts & prayers!!
