One things many doctors go by is if there are more than 5 3+3 Results then something should be done. Sounds like what was decided in your case.

I would ask them why there were positive margins. What did the biopsy of the prostate show? Was there Seminal vesicle invasion, Extracapsular extensions or extra prosthetic extensions? Those could lead to Resulting in positive margins.

Your PSA after surgery should be a real indicator of what’s going on. It should show undetectable PSA.

What did they come up for your T stage? Were you a T2 or a T3a or T3b. That information should be in your prostate biopsy.
