Your numbers and condition are almost identical to mine. The cribriform patter 4 is certainly scary but it doesn't change your treatment options. I will go into surgery at Mayo in Phoenix in 3 hours. A month ago I was fat, dumb, & happy. I'm kind of mind numb now. I know it will be ok, but non-nerve sparing prostatectomy will change my life but I'm trying to keep things optimistic. Hang in there and find the best care you can. As they keep telling me, great advancements have been made in treating prostate cancer!

Steve, wow thanks for taking the time to reply when you are getting ready for surgery! Best of luck to you and hoping for a good outcome.

I had my robotic surgery at Mayo in Phoenix. They kept me overnight and I can say the care is excellent! On a humorous side note, I apparently kept telling a nurse how cute she was (according to my wife). It's embarrassing now, however, she was cute 🙂
Best of luck to you!
