PSA, Gleason Scale and treatment

My PSA was 13.5, Gleason Scale 9, Dr. said we need to get it out, dictating Robotic-assisted prostate removal. Surgery is successful! First, follow-up check, PSA was still 0.02 then a month later 0.03. This dictated that I would need Hormone therapy and 7 weeks of radiation. There is much anxiety when told you're going you need 7 weeks of radiation, not knowing the process, etc.

Documenting the prostate cancer journey

Being in the video business and after about 5 weeks of treatments, I thought I should document some of the details of this process. Surprisingly enough my team was excited about helping me with the recording.
I created this video so that others facing the same diagnosis may have less anxiety about the procedure. My team was fantastic! I hope this short video, with an amazing explanation of the process, is helpful. https://youtu.be/wXEnpfxFiow
