Thank you, Phil; that's very helpful. I had my catheter out yesterday, and the PA at that meeting indicated that they don't think it's a big concern. I'll discuss this with my urologist when I meet with him in the first week of May. I feel very fortunate the way things turned out in that the volume of cancer in my prostate was low and that positive margin is grade 3. I did read a study where they compared adjuvant radiation therapy with salvage radiation at a later date, and, as you stated, outcomes are similar. I resolve to remain vigilant, but I'll compartmentalize this and not allow this disease to define my life going forward. Prayers and well wishes for everyone here and stay strong!
