Hi Richard,

My PSA just went up from 4.3 to 6.4 (first time ever above 4.3), so I think I may be in the same situation as you. Waiting to see the doctor again. Can I ask.... was the prostatectomy done with robotic assistance? Any side effects that lingered for more than a few weeks?

Thanks
Joe

Joe,
How fast did your PSA increase to 6.4 -- the doubling time of PSA increases is a valuable tool for your Urologist .
There are other options to Radical Prostatectomy . What is your new PSA ?
All valid questions before considering ALL your options .
