It is curative if it is caught early enough and surgery done correctly.
Those lucky people have better things to do than dwell here with us on this forum ;).

Biopsy and PSMA can not see everything - surgeons can only go by what is seen with those tests. Now- positive surgical margins are another story. They do not happen often and yes, in ideal world surgeons would have pathologist exam every slice but it is rarely done, unfortunately. *sigh

We did not have ideal scenario happening either, but my husband is still extremely happy that he took such aggressive cancer out (cribrifom and IDC).
