@shayes914 Your anxiety over this will be the worst thing about it - it is unbearable sometimes…
But as long as you test, test, test- that’s the best thing to do. If it returns (and it could) you will treat it with salvage radiation and ADT.
The old saying, “hope for the best, plan for the worst” really does apply here, but even the worst is not that bad actually. Just another inconvenience to deal with…Best,

I had my RARP on 10/3. Just recently had my post-op pathology discussion with the doc. Pre-op was gleason 10. Thankfully, clear margins and no lymph spread. But cribriform was present. I will have my PSA check after the new year. Doc was positive, but adamant about regular tests and the potencial for reoccurrence, as your’s said. We will cross other bridges, depending on future test results. And of course separately, told to keep up with the kegels. Hopefully for everyone the new year will see continued improvements. Either way, we move forward. And as Phil similarly noted, hope for the best, but research and plan for other outcomes. Good luck.
