Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / August 2004LRP done Tuesday
Just got hope from City of Hope. LRP was Tuesday noon. a shade over 3 hrs. Doc said it went great. He was very enthusiastic in fact. The most pain has been from sitting on my butt. I'll have the path report on Monday evening but here's hoping for the best. One good sign was a semi erection during a movie last night. I'm gonna stay away from racy films until the catheter comes out. Oooch Bob Age 50 PSA 8 May 04 5/12 cores positive Gleason 3+3 T2a LPR 8/24/04 Congratulations, Bob, on both events! Re erection: Talk about your good news/bad news! Expect to see good news in the path report, and stick with PG movies, okay? Larry > Just got hope from City of Hope.

The most pain [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Gleason 3+3 T2a > LPR 8/24/04 Hi, Bob... Had my LRP 21 months ago at age 51. My PSAs since have been undetectable. I wish you a speedy recovery! Take care! MikeH :) > Just got hope from City of Hope. LRP was Tuesday noon. a shade over 3 > hrs. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > during a movie last night.

Oooch Excellent Please do keep us posted as you go through recovery and, when appropriate, chime in when you see posts warning others away from LRP's based on 7+ hours in surgery! They have come a long way in a short time with this procedure. My LRP was 3 years ago and indeed WAS on the order of 6 hours or so but the same urologist completes it in about 3 hours now, sparing both nerves (a time consuming part of the procedure). Don't rush the recovery too much, but do work at regaining your strength, urinary control, erectile function and stamina, paying attention when your body tells you to back off and rest.

The most pain [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Gleason 3+3 T2a > LPR 8/24/04 One of the things that concerned me was the reported duration of the surgery. Dr, Kowachi assured me that it would be under 4 hrs including set up time and he was right. There is a conf this week at UCLA I think where Kowachi is presenting. Based on my experience to date and that of my roomate at the hospital 3-4 hrs seems std today. At least at City of Hope. One added note: I am a mechanical engineer. I have designed some fairly sophisticated robotic equipment for space applications but man, That control Rm for the surgery was cool! They put me to sellp too soon. I am gonna have to ask for some time to look it over.
