@ireland1964 Yes, of course! My post-surgery pathology report results were exactly the same as my biopsy results, which in my book was good news. Pre-surgery, I had been told that my staging likely could go up because the location of my tumor was hard to sample via a transrectal biopsy (I didn't initially have the option of a transpereneal biopsy at my first doctor...midway through, I switched surgeons to a major center rather than local hospital).

I started out as 3+4=7 and ended in that same place. When I asked the surgeon about my post-surgery pathology report, he told me that it is as good as it gets.

Still, I get very anxious and nothing is a sure thing. Hoping that time lets this anxiety fade....
