Newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and still gathering information

I'm 67, diagnosed in July. Gleason originally was 4+3. I had the surgery in November, and they determined my Gleason was 4+5 with some spread to the bladder neck. My first PSA is undetectable but I'm still working on incontinence. I'm happy I did the surgery because my cancer was more aggressive than the biopsy showed. Doctor said it "could have been fatal." Recurrence seems likely in my case,

It’s amazing what surgery finds, even though I was totally against it at first.
My surgeon found bladder cancer during my procedure and told me that radiation might have pushed it into a more aggressive grade.
It was treated with BCG infusions and was said to be in remission before my recent 25 salvage sessions.
Hoping that the radiation doesn’t wake that sleeping dog!
