That is good news...

Providing your clinical data may help the group provide their thoughts.

I would be hesitant when a surgeon uses the word "cure..." six weeks after surgery. Mine used a similar thought, saying more or less he didn't see any problems given my pathology report and his observations during my surgery. 18 months later, he apologized profusely. To be fair, it was a successful surgery, a great pathology report and given the state of the art at the time and his experience, a reasonable conclusion. Yet, when I plugged my clinical data into MSCKCC Nomogram - https://www.mskcc.org/nomograms/prostate I faced a 30% chance of recurrence. Of course, that means I had a 70% chance of it not recurring. Guess which way it went...

In my experience, the surgeon does not really know six weeks after your surgery.

The forum is replete with individuals with "successful" surgeries only to experience the dreaded BCR years later. Those who didn't, as two of my friends are fortunate to have experienced, are not in these forums, why would they?

My hope for you is that your surgeon is "correct." You may have a ways to go before that is ascertained depending on what literature you read, 5, 7, 10 years before the medical community considers you "cured" but, enjoy your success, be vigilant, you'll likely have labs every three months for the first one to two years, then six months apart from two to five and after that annually.

I'm not trying to put a damper on your "success," happy for you, but I am cautious about a medical practitioner using the "cure" word so early. As I said, knowing the clinical data from your pathology report could enable people on this forum to better give you their thoughts.
