lol thx SM. i had gave him info on both the procedures and when he read them over he was like, "I am not going for the surgery! They cut the whole thing out!" which is true. they do cut everything out but there is that rare chance that after the surgery of having the prostate removed, it could show up again in other parts of the body. He turned around again and said that he will go for the surgery and will talk to the doctor as well as the surgeon who may be performing the procedure.

Yeah, they do remove it...and I agree with wanting to remove all chances of it showing up again or in other parts of the body. Just keep in mind that it is not 100% and that it may still show up in other parts. Best that your dad keep up on his yearly exams/check ups. ^_^

with that procedure, it's gonna be very uncomfortable for him. if he goes for the open prostatectomy, it's a 10 in cut below his belly button. so he would have to be on bedrest for a while and can't take showers for however long he's in the hospital plus that week of homecoming. there are two other procedures to the surgical prostatectomy as well.

okie dokie peeps!! I've got an update on the going ons of Sprig's life! So! we got an iffy date of when the surgery is gonna be. Pops is going to do the seed implant. possible date of the surgery is this upcoming Tuesday..that's if everything is cleared with his heart doctor as well as the surgeons who r going to perform the operation. So! if it's a go then i'm taking the day off to be there for Pops while he goes thru it. I just need to find out where it's gonna be so i can drive myself. Wish him luck!!!

wah!! it's been forever since i did an update on here! i've been meaning to do this so i am srry for not letting u guys know what's going on. he went thru with the surgery, and is doing just fine. only thing we really have to worry bout now is his heart. lol we had a few minor scares but ol' Pops is doing just fine now. so thx for all of ur support thru this whole thing and praying and all. other than me being over-worked, everyone of my fam is just fine. lol. so i think i will leave this forum alone unless otherwise something else just happens to pop up in my life, okie doke?
