My surgery went well with Dr. Pow-Sang at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. (Thursday June 2) I was two hours delayed getting to sugery due to a complication in the operation in front of mine. My surgery took two hours, I was in recovery two hours, and out of hosital in about
24 hours (17 hours after surgery). Dr. Pow-Sang said he saw nothing in margins and surgery went "great" My prostate is (was) about
24 g.
