@brianjarvis I went thru a similar experience and my urologist (not the one who performed the surgery) said that many times ‘some’ benign prostate tissue is left behind in nerve sparing surgery…yeah, I scratched my head too at that!
But he said that it was such a small amount, it would never cause a PSA to zoom upwards; again, the velocity is the real harbinger of BCR.
