Thanks Jeff for detailed answer. Yes father and brother history of pc. I am in NZ where you can also get tested for genetics with doc referal, for free. Thought it might be a good idea in case further treatment needed at some point. Currently just 9 weeks post RARP and undetectable so far!

My father died of prostate cancer. My brother got it at 77 after six years of active surveillance.
I got it at 62 and got BRCA2 from my mother. My father didn’t have it and my brother doesn’t have it.
You should get your genetics tested, but that may not be a factor.
Your father having PC doubles the chance of you and your brother having it.
3 1/2 years after my surgery, my cancer came back.
