Positive margins

Thank you for your insights. I am in Canada and actually received the pathology summary online, but have not yet spoken with the urologist who performed the robotic prostatectomy, so I have no clue what he will say, or when. The pathology report does not outline details of the positive margins, so the details you highlight are excellent as questions, so thank you. I have never had a PSMA scan. I had a contrast MRI, followed by a targeted biopsy and the robotic removal. Incontinence is improving, but not ED (low priority for me) but it has only been 4 weeks tomorrow. Best I can tell much reliance will be placed on a 6 week and 3 month PSA screen. Please comment if you feel this is reasonable timing. The availability of advanced screening and targeted radiation approaches in Canada is limited, so I will likely be heading to the US if additional steps need to be taken.

@kbmullen, I thought I'd check in. Have you had a chance to discuss the surgical results with the urologist? What are the next steps?
