Bill Harvey

When Bill Harvey learned he had prostate cancer, he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted surgery to get rid of it.

"I had heard that Dr. James Jensen had joined the medical staff of the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center and that he was offering robotic prostatectomy at Cabell Huntington Hospital," said Bill. "After doing a lot of research about robotic prostatectomy, I was convinced it was the way I wanted to go. It's much less invasive than traditional prostate surgery and there's much less risk of incontinence and impotence."

After the surgery, a one-night stay in the hospital and a very quick recovery period, Bill says he's now feeling great ? and that he shows no signs of cancer.

"I think Huntington is very fortunate to have Dr. Jensen," he said. "And I feel very fortunate as well."
