@fritzo Like you, I was pretty averse to another surgery after the RARP and the hernia repair. Hence the delay on the sling procedure. Looking back, I would have been smart to have done it sooner. It was not a difficult recovery. Some ice packs the first couple of days, then taking it easy on physical activity for a couple of weeks. No bike riding for 6 weeks. The worst of it is that your privates get rather bruised and swollen— was not a pretty sight. But no pain really.

If your PSA stays below 0.1, you are in good shape. With these ultra sensitive tests, your numbers can bounce around. Less than 0.064 is a good place to be, as your doc said.

Now I’m off for my next PSA test in a bit.
