Hi I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer after I had a Turps operation then a Biopsy 18 months ago then 2 weeks ago I had to go in for an operation on my bladder because it was almost closed up that went fine but I was also told my prostrate had disappeared I always thought with cancer it would get bigger not do a vanishing act don't see my consultant for another 5 weeks should I be worried or not has anyone else heard of this happening before

Hello Tes, I can't help with the query but I see you haven't had a reply so I'm bumping you in the hope that somebody can help you

Best Wishes

Tes, astonishing! Suggest you talk to your oncology nurse to get an explanation.

Could the TURPS have done a Prostatectomy instead?

It certainly sounds odd, so yes, contact your medical team.

I realise this is of no help whatsoever but I see there was an article in The Lancet in 1954 entitled "Prostatitis and the disappearing Prostate". Unfortunately without an access I.D. it doesn't seem possible to access it.
