I knew the surgery was going to get the cancer out at one time

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Carlos Gonzalez was introduced to a robotic prostate surgeon, Dr. David Samadi, and to a doctor specializing in Chemotherapy. He met with Dr. Samadi, but, later on, also with the other doctor. The process of chemotherapy did not appeal to him: it was a long period, almost 9 months, that couldn’t guarantee that he was going to be cancer free at the end and could produce damages to the other organs. After seeing the PSA results, dr. Samadi knew they had to act quickly. He informed Carlos about everything that was going to happen before and after the surgery and the outcome that was expected: a 0 level PSA. The surgery was supposed to last for an hour and a half, but dr. Samadi took a little longer to make sure everything is cleaned up. The next day, at the routine follow-up, he received the emotional news that he got everything out. “I’m trying to take all this process in, of having having cancer”. thats when he corrected me: “no. you had cancer, you dont have cancer anymore.”
