Q: I recently had my prostate removed becuase it was full of cancer. Could the cancer come back and if so, how can I be proactive about it .
Despite having undergone a radical prostatectomy, prostate cancer can come recur. It is important to discuss with your Urologist the status of your surgical margins from the operation. There is nothing that you can do proactively to prevent recurrence, however periodic PSA monitoring would be wise.
