I had RARP last June at age 50, Prior to surgery, I ran 5-6 days per week and lifted weights 2-3 times per week. Excellent overall health, minus cancer, of course!

Pre-Op: T1C based on biopsy (6.68 PSA), 3+4 in 6/12 cores, 0.56 decipher, PSMA negative for bone/lymph metastasis, no BRCA1/2 mutations, not likely to react negatively to short or long course radiation (can't remember test name).

Post-Op: T3b, 3+4, EPE shown in MRI day the before surgery, SVI, large cribriform present (< 10%), 15 lymph nodes negative, negative surgical margins, IDC is iffy - one section of the report said "no" but another section said "Intraductal carcinoma: Atypical intraductal proliferation, suspicious."

I was definitely blindsided by post-op pathology, however my recovery before and after receiving the report has been incredibly smooth. I started walking the night of surgery, had no incontinence issues following catheter removal, was back to running at three weeks, and began light workouts at three months. I was extra cautious with weights because I did NOT want a hernia but was back to pre-op workout levels by 6-8 months. I've had three post-op PSA tests and so far it's been undetectable. I'll continue getting tested every three months for now.
