Bruce - yes , I have been there . Its a huge shock when you hear these diagnosis words ! How old are you ? Your PSA and Gleason are not "off the scale" and actually your PSA is quite low to many pre treatment . Get that PSMA and let us know what it says . You should be able to get a good bounce off of a 4.1 PSA . I had the operation about 4 years ago in April 2021 . Healing takes some time 3-4 months , but after that I was fine . No incontinance , no pain, ED was fine after the first 6 months . I was 58 when I had it , now 62 . I would do it the same way again. God Bless and let us know how the Pet scan works . You may want to ask for a MRI WITH contrast too ! Very effective at time looking at soft tissues in prostate and seminal vesicles . James on Vancouver Island .

James @vancouverislandhiker Bruce's @brucemobile update three days ago: RetiredITguy, I WISH! Anyway it’s out, drinking water now so I don’t have to experience another catheter! It felt like forever before the end came out! Now for the rest of the story…Lymph Nodes both right and left are negative BUT the left Seminal vesicles is involved so now I am going to have a consultation with Radiation Onocologist to determine a course of treatment to finish this. On August 13: discussion topic: Had surgery Today.Ok guys, fresh from the Operating Room, home in my bed watching television. No prostate so hoping no problems. So far so good.
vircet here wishing you Bruce a speedy recovery.
