Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 2005ER Television Show
Did anyone else watch this show on 13 October, last week? In the episode, Dr. Benko discusses with a nurse (Abbie) the fact that he just got his PSA results back and it was 6.5. He mentioned that the stage was T1 and he was opting for a Radical Prostatectomy by Dr. Seng. It was to be a bilateral nerve sparing procedure for patients with low volume diseases. He also mentioned that he had a 25% chance of loss of erectile function, and told Abbie of the aids/procedures that would be open to him. George RRP 15 November 1999 George!!! Almost six years now.

The 25% seemed a little low but maybe Dr. Seng is topnotch. Of course the story would be incomplete without his requesting Abbie to sleep with him before surgery just in case it might be his last one, and also to sleep with him after surgery to see if it still works. Abbie declined but did ask a professional in these matters if she did pro bono work and directed her to Dr. Benko. Can't wait to see how all this unfolds. Will he or won't he? Can he or can't he? Good to see our "problem" discussed. Dave Perry Dave, I didn't want to mention all the "naughty bits" (apologies to Monty Python) as I didn't want to get the group too excited. I liked the professional's job title: "Satisfaction Facilitator". Steve, Had my check-up on the 10th of this month. PSA is fine. Thanks for thinking about me.

Several years ago, they had a man diagnosed with prostate cancer in the ER, and they tell him he needs an RP. This whole scenario is rather unlikely. Any prostate cancer which sends a man to the ER is very likely to have metastasized long before the diagnosis, so RP is not going to be the method of treatment. In any case, he is advised to store his sperm in case he wants to have children, but he has some problem arranging that. He discusses the problem with Elizabeth, who at the end is seen going off with him, but we are not told why. > Did anyone else watch this show on 13 October, last week?

SignatureJK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass Studios www.sinrodstudios.com Coney Island Memories www.sinrodstudios.com/coneymemories As a devout channel surfer I seldom see all of anything, so I did not see the show. From where I sit of course I wonder why he did not discuss peeing all over himself? Guess he is young enough to be more worried about sex than that. Or, perhaps that would not make such a great story line for a tv show. > Did anyone else watch this show on 13 October, last week?

Dr. Benko, post surgery, was pushing himself around the hospital in a wheelchair (why?) with no evidence of a catheter and claiming he had two erections that day (apparently with the help of the "satisfaction facilitator"). I don't remember anything like that but then it's been over two years - maybe I forget. Dave Perry Dave, The only wheelchair I remember was upon discharge when they took me to the main lobby for my wife to pick me up in our car. George > Well, they blew it - you knew they would.
