pT3b Prostate Cancer - where are you now post-op?

I was T1C at my initial biopsy (3+4, 6/12 cores, Decipher 0.56) in January, then pT3b after RARP at the Cleveland Clinic on June 18th (3+4, surgical margins and 15 lymph nodes all negative, EPE, SVI, large cribriform, suspicion of IDC).

My first post-op PSA test is scheduled for 9/22. The surgeon's office has been adamant that I don't need to do anything if PSA is undetectable (or below 0.2) but I've requested an appointment with a local RO and, based on several recent threads on this site, will once again request an appointment with an RO at CC. I seem to be on the borderline between adjuvant vs. early salvage radiation.

Hi, thank you for sharing your story. you said "EPE, SVI, large cribriform, suspicion of IDC)." all present in post surgery pathology. Did your pre surgery biopsy also indicate these features? Thanks!
