@anosmic1, hi and thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. It’s comforting nonetheless just to hear that other people are also dealing with something so difficult.

I relentlessly sat on hold yesterday and demanded that the actual doctor that performed his surgery, see him in person since the only visit he’s had postop had been a nurse practitioner. We were able to see him today and it was comforting nonetheless to at least meet with the doctor.

They did a standard PSA blood test today and it did show some PSA however, the doctor did say that because his surgery was only 2 1/2 weeks ago that the accuracy wouldn’t be as accurate as it will be when we come back on 12/9. At that point, I guess will be the deciding factor of the next steps in which options they recommend. I’m pretty sure it will be radiation and hormone therapy. How was your experience on the hormone therapy? I have heard such horror stories about that but if it’s what’s necessary, I guess that’s what we’ll have to be.

Please keep me updated as everyone’s experience is very helpful and hopeful.

Kindly,

SR
