Good morning. After two MRIs and a biopsy that were negative, my second biopsy showed two cores of cancer, one at 3+4. I decided on surgery. My surgery went fine with NO incontinence issues, which I attribute to religiously doing Kegel exercises and an excellent surgeon. My surgeon told me I am one of the 10% who have no issues after surgery. However, my pathology report showed my cancer was actually 4+5 with clear margins and no spreading to lymph nodes. Since then, I have had 5 PSA tests which have all come back at < 0.01 undetectable. Always hoping and praying for more of this in the future. My advice to is: do as much as you can to get accurate cancer scores; and at least from my perspective, the surgery was my best option. All the Best!

Are you on ADT? With a Gleason nine there is a chance of this coming back aggressively. Are you still working with a urologist Or have you moved on to an oncologist?

As I’ve mentioned before, some people I’ve known with a Gleason nine are still around 30 years later.

I wish you the best of luck in the future.
