It feels like you've given me a potential timeline. Gleason 9, diagnosed last summer at age 66, spread to bladder neck and LVI. Surgery 6 months ago. Undetectable at first PSA after 3+ months. Gleason 9 feels like recurrence is most likely, the question is when that will happen.

You could avoid all the anxiety and have early salvage radiation/ADT now. While that may sound extreme to some, waiting for my cancer to return over a 5 yr span was the absolute worst for me.
After the very first rise in PSA I was ready for treatment but the RO’s made me sweat. I was a G4+3 unfavorable with negative margins and no spread.

Had One guy with a Gleason nine came to the Ancan.org Weekly advanced prostate cancer meeting a few weeks ago to discuss how his PSA started rising 30 year after surgery. Lots of other people with Gleason nines’s Come in and have long periods of time between recurrence.
Other people have Come to the meetings with Gleason nine and many metastasis, and therefore have limited overall survival.
Results are all over the place. A Gleason nine is not a death sentence.
