It’s a relief to have someone post that they have had no complications with pain or incontinence. I just got my biopsy results back last week - 6 Gleason - am 61 with no other health issues and considering the RALP option. Your post was very encouraging. Thank you

You are welcome. Good Luck. Glad to hear you are at a Gleason 6. I was a 7 (4 + 3). 2 biopsy cores came back 6 and 2 came back 7 for me. I had to take action. A Gleason 6 is good that cancer is very early stage and your chance of full recovery with no BCR is excellent. It's bad in the sense as now you have 1 more option which is waiting and watching. If you choose to watch make sure you are getting PSA checked every 3 months at least (I'm sure your Urologist has discussed this with you already).
