Positive margins

Like you, my path report showed several areas of positive margin, "linear length 3-4 mm". 60-70% Gleason grade 4, 34-40% grade 3. Like you, my surgeon "seemed fine with it", and wanted to wait for 6 week PSA before talking about further diagostic or treatment steps. I'm now 13 months out with all PSAs "undetectable" (< 0.02).

I am wary of getting Too Much Information. My opinion/feeling is that, until the PSA begins to rise, there is no reason for getting any other test. The PSA is molecular. Imaging studies are not as sensitive or precise.

Great saying.
