Reply to "Advice Please--Radiation with J-Pouch"

Hi,

Based on your post, you would be considering salvage radiation therapy since your already had an RP.

my surgeon told told me prior to jpouch surgery and recently again, under no circumstances should I ever have radiation to that area as it could cause the pouch to stiffen and then fail to work.

I would check back with your colo rectal surgeon and get his thoughts as I can only tell you what I have been told.

i still have my prostate, but I run a high psa. No sign of PCA yet, but the thought is always lurking in my mind.

Question: how did they manage your surgery with your pouch. Was your surgeon experienced with jpouches and prior to yours?
