What was your original Gleason Score, Decipher Test score, and prostate tumor classification and pathology report details?
The fact that your PSA started to rise so soon, suggests you had EPE, Surgical Margins, Seminal Vesicle invasion (one or both), and perhaps Cribriform gland tissue. In other words, you were something like a pT3b tumor classification or worse.
I am a pT3b which means I have a 25-50% probability of my PSA raising and the cancer returning “within” the first five years post-op. I had the DaVinci Robotic-Assisted RP.
Were all different, but I have a feeling that you might have had more severe, ominous pathology like I did, despite barely being a Gleason 3+4=7 with only 6-10% of cells being “4” graded cells.
Tell us more about your pathology report and tumor classification, because Biochemical Recurrence (“BCR”) of elevated PSA at 14 months is comparatively very early, unless perhaps, you had significant surgical margins tissue left in you, or it had spread to your lymph nodes. BTW…did you have a PET scan prior to surgery in your diagnostic phase? That would tell you and your urologist if the tumor/disease was confined to your prostate, or if it was already spreading, perhaps to your lymph node(s).
Good luck…I’ll look for your follow-up post.
