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

Brettiqutte - thanks for your reply. What may I ask is "n1" and "r1"? I have not seen that terminology with or without relation to the pT3b status. Nice to hear you are undetectable one year later, especially after a 9.4 ng/ml PSA six weeks post-op. Have you recovered full urinary continence and sexual function one year later, or still a battle?
Thank you.

I believe R1 refers to a margin being positive.

Thanks for the reply, I believe they refer to the one of ten positive lymph nodes and seminal vesicle or bladder neck invasion. I regained continence 3 months after surgery but lost it final week of radiation, had it for 6 weeks lol. Had severe Ed since surgery but have used a pump to keep atrophy at bay. Also recently started using trimix injections and still finding dosages but was able to have the spicy sleep with my wife this last week so things are looking up. I’ve also noticed my incontinence has improved as well as my penis is not in hiding all day since the injections. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
