Duke, just for educational purposes there is a video on the Da Vinci device on Geisinger's website which has transformed the prostatectomy procedure. Here is the link. http://www.geisinger.org/services/urology/davinci.html
Please avoid answering questions or providing your personal or familial history over the internet. Goldseeker has crossed the line. As a matter of fact everyone in my office MUST by law sign a HIPAA consent and Informed Consent and Notice of Privacy before they even sit in the chair. Of course, someone "portraying" a doctor probably is unaware of these laws.
Duke, I am not here to advise or answer questions about prostate cancer, because you need to find the most qualified specialist. I did look at the hospital and saw they had the Da Vinci, so the only question to ask if you cross that bridge is how many surgeries has your doctor performed with this device and what complications has he seen and has there been any mortalities or disabiling consequences from the procedure. Bottom line, what is HIS track record?
I just don't know why Goldseeker would jump into a conversation where he was not being addressed and start "selling" his own personal beliefs to someone which may lead to dire consequences. IMO, and it seems to be everyone else's as well, is to avoid being baited or feel the compulsion to answer this self-proclaimed guru of all things known to mankind. For goodness sakes, this guy won't ever admit when he's wrong.
Duke, the only bit of advice I can give you as I do to everyone is choose your doctors wisely. That will, and should be your most critical decision. You are way ahead of the game with early detection. (If you followed Goldseeker he would force you wait and watch......it makes me ill to think about it. Thank the Lord above in reality he is not a doctor!!!) Best of luck.
