Post-op visit 8 am.
-good news/bad news. The good is that my score went from 5 to 3. Bad news is that cancer in 1 lymph node, seminal vesicle. Put those together and I’m a “high risk’ of reoccurrence.
-PSA blood test at 6 weeks, see radiation oncologist at 8 weeks, PSA again at 12 weeks.
-catheter OUT!!!!!! Didn’t hurt at all. Yes to incontinence. Not overly so.
-I now have a fire hose. Man, what a stream. 🙂

Wow. Talking about oncologist already. You'll be alright. You're tough.

chipe, sorry to hear of the bad news....have you had a PET scan already? How about a Genomic test? Hopefully they will treat that area at an early stage and prevent any further problem.
My pathology report was not ready yet, doc will call when it is...very minimal incontinence here, and yes, going from a huge prostate induced trickle to a fire hose was startling!

My 90 day post RP PSA was .19
Radiation Oncologist began Salvage Radiation treatment to whole pelvic floor region and pelvic lymph nodes together with a short course of ADT.
1 yr after treatment completed, PSA reporting < .02
Very grateful for current status. Currently off all treatment.
G 9 w/ EPE on path report (clean margins, seminal vesicles and lymph nodes)
Good wishes and good luck, and blessings for all.
