Post prostatectomy. 1st PSA at .30, 2nd PSA at .43, future prognosis?

Hi Gem, did you have any cribriform or IDC in your post op pathology ? Was your EPE unifocal or multiple places ? I am asking since my husband has EPE and gleason 9 and is recovering from surgery (4 weeks post op). I know that everybody is different and every case different, but still, I am trying to gain as much information as possible and want to be prepared for BCR.
Thanks in advance 😊

I don't know. I had 3+4, 4+3, and 5+4 cells. The higher the number, the worse the cell. I was deemed high risk poor prognosis disease. I had extra-prostatic extension, perineural infusion, and detectible PSA after surgery. So thus far, it has always been negative news.
On the plus side, nothing in the lymph nodes they took out, seminal vesicles, or vasdefrens (however you spell it).
Despite all of this, there is a lot they can do.
Wishing both good health.
