Prostate Cancer Signs

My father is 65 and has metastatic prostate cancer. He’s taking calutide and zoladex monthly. Due to obstruction in urination for long time, we got his channel TURP surgery done last month. The urine flow was good for about 20 days. After that he felt slight decrease in urine flow. One morning suddenly there was full urine obstruction and we rushed him to hospital and got catheter inserted.
Doctor said that his prostate tissues have obstructed the urine channel in just one month which is rather unusual.

My question is:
- Can cancer tissues grow so fast in just 1 month after channel TURP? Every doctor mentioned it’s a relief for atleast few years.
- Catheter went inside with lot of difficulty and is not a permanent relief. Should we go for direct insertion of tube in urine bladder?

His gleason grade is 9. PSA is under 4 but showed slight increase from 1.96 to 2.4 approx.

Please see the webpages for more details on Transurethral resection of the prostate.
I am 69 years old and taking Alfuzosin hydrochloride (generic name) to shrink prostate gland. In some cases, TURP is not 100% successful and hence a second operation is done to remove the obstructive tissue.

PART 2- In this second installment video, we review the technical aspects and intraoperative landmarks during treatment with a case PVP demonstration.

Anatomic landmarks which will be highlighted include:

-bladder neck
-verumontanum
-urinary sphincter
-prostatic surgical capsule
-ureteral orfices

Laser fibre handling, laser beam direction and distance from tissue will be demonstrated. Tissue vaporization will be demonstrated with efficient debulking in a bloodless fashion. At the completion of the surgery, usually in less than 1 hour, the final prostate fossa is wide open and a catheter is placed temporarily until the anasthesia wears off.
