If surgery is not possible (or helpful), you might try Lupron.  I've had
three on it (one of which had her left removed several years ago) for
just over one year now and all are doing very well.  You might also want
to try Proscar, which helps shrink the prostate and may prevent future
urinary blockages, in addition to the Lupron.
