My name is Don . I am a 55 year old Physical Education Health teacher. I am a very active person. I play golf, run regularly and just recently completed my second half-marathon. I eat well, never smoked and only drink on occasion. When I had my annual physical my PSA number was high. I was sent to a urologist who recommended a biopsy. The procedure was simple and painless. The biopsy detected cancer. After talking with my urologist I decided to get a second opinion and do some research on my own. I found out about Drs. Lanteri and Esposito and their laparoscopic procedure. I called and was given a half hour consultation. I decided right then to go ahead with this procedure. The main reasons for choosing this procedure was that it is less invasive and has a greater success rate for nerve sparing. Seven days after surgery I was out walking. Seven weeks later I was jogging, lifting weights and doing everything I used to do before surgery.
