Yes there is a lot in there to study. I got a 5 minute phone call right as doctor was going out door on vacation. I knew he was going, thought he already had left. His didn't sound that concerned, said check PSA in 3 months. His APRN will remove Cath Tuesday. Will make appointment with him to discuss report.

I will do that test in 3 months, but have additional things planned. Already have an appointment with local oncologist on May 27. It's a 1 hour first visit appointment. Will go over report with him.

Then will also tomorrow make appointment with the RO at KUMC. I always got along with the RO at KUMC (a national center of excellence). It was the surgical area at KUMC I had problems of not getting responses for weeks if at all. The RO doctor would respond within hours and she would actually respond herself many times and not just tell the RN to reply.

My thoughts are, why not let things heal up, then start ADT and radiation now- not wait for PSA to rise. But between the visits with local oncologist, local surgeon and KUMC RO, I will have more information.

@diverjer Sounds like a plan. That surgical report is kind of contradictory but Jeff explained the difference between lymph gland invasion and lymphatic spread within the gland.
But the seminal vesicle invasion and the presence of PCa on the surgical margin are things to be concerned about.
You will monitor the PSA and take it from there, unless your very first one shows something more than ‘undetectable’.
The you’d want to contact that RO.
Hey, has your bleeding subsided? Stopped? Hope so!
