Perineurial invasion. 1 out of 10 samples cancerous. Treatment?

Posted by sarahsmithsarahsmith @sarahsmithsarahsmith, May 29 11:20pm

Oddly the report did not show my husband’s Gleason score, but I suspect it’s good because the doc wrote a note saying everything looks good.

My husband is 61 years young so I personally don’t think he should opt for surveillance. I feel he will have to get treatment eventually and why risk it spreading.

I’m wondering if anyone had their prostrate removed along with one nerve bundle ( I’m assuming there are 2) and what that recovery looked like.

Or could he get his prostrate removed and radiation on the nerve?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I was 11 out of 14 with a Gleason 9 and I still feel fine, though I struggle with fatigue and weight gain while on ADT…

Man, that’s a long haul…but with that amount of high grade cancer you probably need it.
