I just had RARP on 10/29. Looking for advice on recurrence of PSA

You want to find out whether or not it was large cribriform. That is the one that’s most aggressive.
Yes, a Gleason 10 is VERY aggressive. There is a high chance of reoccurrence with that. You want to definitely make sure you get PSA tests no less than every three months, for a couple of years. And less frequently after that. You don’t want to stop that testing.
I had a Gleason 4+3 and my cancer came back after 3 1/2 years.

Thanks, Jeff. Tracking all. Doc was very upfront about the prognosis and initial more-frequent testing…and for my lifetime. We did not discuss the cribriform beyond noting its presence, as my cancer is already at high risk for returning. It doesn’t change the testing approach, just further highlights the necessity. I plan to stay present here and will post as the “adventure” continues.
