has anybody in Ireland received a 'vanishing cancer' diagnosis after having a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer? Jack

Hi Marathon Man,
Thanks for your reply. I seem to be in a small minority here in Ireland and wasn't informed of the possibility of vanishing cancer before my RP which I had in January. Still reeling at the moment and pathology is continuing so no answers....

Hi Jack,
I haven't heard of it in Ireland, though, prior to my RP, I was informed of the possibility of it. (I remember thinking, at the time, that I'd be pretty peeved if I had an RP and no Cancer was found - I ended up with Gleason 4+4, so pretty glad, to say the least, that I had the RP done!)
A quick Google turned up [url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2004.04900.x/pdf… paper[/url:mtz4dqbi].
