Al Roker Shares Update On His Prostate Cancer Surgery | TODAY

glad al's doing great keeping him and his family in my thoughts and prayers
My dad had prostate cancer a couple years ago. He was able to treat it with radiation for a few months. It's gone now, and he's fine. It's a scary thing to go through, and triring depending on the treatment method, but there's a way out, and there's light on the other side. I'm glad Al is doing well.

I had robotic prostate surgery, 23 July this year, YES early detection is the key, get regular PSA tests, mine was 3.5 flatline for over 10 years, then took off last year. My recovery has been fantastic, back @ work within a week & haven’t looked back. Surgery was carried out here in Australia @ the Peter Mac Cancer Centre, this place is world class. My PSA is now undetectable.

Why would a PSA count go down or fluctuate when with no real treatment except "watchful waiting"? I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a biopsy and MRI at a PSA count of 3.7 maximum (now 2.7 but fluctuating). *How Prostate Cured Total* 👉 *For more information My Profile In About* Or Bio

Hi Edwardo, I should have added a bit more detail, my PSA was consistent @ 3.5 for about 10 years, then a blood test yielded a 11.8 PSA, my GP recommended seeing a Urologist, a MRI followed, then a biopsy, the biopsy presented 4 x 4mm cancers on my prostate...surgery followed. My PSA a week before surgery was 14. My 6 month check up a few weeks ago, PSA now 0.01, which has been described as undetectable.

As someone who had a prostatectomy 2 weeks ago for aggressive cancer I wish you the best of luck.
Great update! Love you Al!
Happy birthday al and many more.
I'm glad your doing well after you had your surgery
Got same diagnosis 6 years ago, but being 75 years, and only a 4% of cancer, chose radiation. So far the PSA has dropped every year, now at .27. Glad to see your doing well.
Get well Al
Happy Blessed Thanksgiving Al. Love you!! ❤🌹

I elected to have my prostate removed 18 months ago. It changed a few things but with no worries about prostate cancer it's definitely worth it. Peace of mind!

Just like you Al. Living the dream.
get well Al!!! :)
Best wishes for you Al; glad you caught it early, and have negative margins. Hope you remain free of micro-metastasis in the future as you are being monitored. Sure you have access to the best follow up care, because everyone cares about you.
Thank you for this video. I have a prostate biopsy on Wednesday. If mine turns out to be like Al's, I have already made up my mind to have the prostate removed, too. I am 63 yo. I have a heavy cancer history in my family. I had a PSA test, and I scored a 5.1 with a rise from 3.0 to 5.1 in just 2 years. Thank you.

Awesomeness ✌️
Wishing you a quick recovery Al.
The loma linda medical center in california are in my opinion the specialists with their lazer treatment for prostate cancer treatment.. the equipment is pointed at the problem and it eliminates the tradicional radiation treatment.
My brother in law has prostate cancer and he’s 57 plus on top Of that he also has Parkinson’s disease he decided to not have his prostate removed because he decided to do chemotherapy instead and apparently it has worked so far his numbers are very low thank god and I definitely recommend that all Men have there prostate checked because you never know until you do

Can one give birth after the prostate cancer surgery
NOT TO BE, I DONT KNOW WHAT THE WORD IS, but I just had a HoLEP, DEC 7 2023, enucleation of my prostate… HAD a Foley catheter in for 3 days. While I was mobile, I was not able to walk in the park like AL….
Had a DaVinci procedure where i was wheeled in at 7:00 and home at 3:00. Get your psa!!!
I had robotic surgery 16 years ago. One of the first. Get checked , live longer

I don't understand why Al has to be monitored for prostate cancer if his prostate has been removed.

The cancer may have already spread to other parts of the body prior to removal. Those cancer cells will continue to make psa therefore continuing to test the level of psa will be a telltale of cancer. This would likely trigger radiation therapy and/or hormone treatment. Negligble levels of psa suggest the cancer is gone.
Not all stories are so cheerful. He doesn't mention the downside of having to wear a catheter for a few weeks. Perhaps he didn't..

This is my second week with the catheter , not all cases are the same. I'm praying it comes out this Thursday !
😅no urinary leaking? No diapers? Lets not talk about that.
Sounds like you two women were talking to/about a mascot more than you were talking to a man.
I’ve literally lost so many family men over this disease. Prostate cancer is extremely lethal in the black community im not sure why so many black men get it. The best thing is to get checked as soon as possible.
TMI NBC. Nice to be wealthy and have Cadillac health care. Do you really think NBC cares about him? Did Trump cause this cancer? I am glad you are ok but Geez man we all have a cross to bear. Stay well and stick to the weather please
Just don't say holy spirit or Jesus 🤣
