Did you have hormone treatments before, during, or after your surgery?

Another poster referenced cure to you. What is important is the follow up testing to determine that. I assume you had PSMA and/or bone scans prior to decision on surgery. When your prostate is removed your PSA test should come back to an undetectable level. If you still have your prostate, you will still have PSA levels. It takes time for the prostate to recover from irritation of radiation treatments, so it is a decline over time you are looking for versus the undetectable level when you have prostate removed.

The ongoing after treatment PSA tests will help see if there are any prostate cancer cells still in your body. The problem with prostate cancer is we are not just talking about tumors, or lesions, but cancer cells. Thus, cancer can be at cellular level in other parts of body and not picked up by biopsies. I don't want to sound like a medical professional because I am NOT! This comes from information from posters on MCC, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, UFHPTI, and Prostrate Cancer Support Group, etc.

Great news and best wishes to you. On Kegel I have read many blogs and many posters have helped on this one. I have learned to do them from all the great posts on this one. Not an easy thing to visualize or physically do.
