It was also a 4+3, but they found that after surgery. Were they talking about you going on ADT for six months? Did you get a decipher score? With you having 50% of 30 cores positive means you have a lot of cancer in your prostate, ADT really may make a big difference in your future. I can’t tell you how many times people have surgery and it comes back quickly because they didn’t have ADT. The NCCN recommends six months of ADT if you are a 4+3. Not sure where your doctors are going on this, Just wanted to make you aware of it.

I worked for two weeks with a catheter and a bag strapped on my leg, starting four days after surgery. I was going from one office to another working on computer issues, ran a computer consulting business. I never had a problem with the catheter or the bag while I was working, It was actually sort of convenient. None of my clients even knew I had surgery.

Wish you the best of luck with surgery.

Jeff, I could not find that new guidance about ADT and 4+7 on NCCN site - would you mind attaching a link here ?
Thanks so much in advance 🙂
