Pathology report - how long after RP?

My cath came out in 10 days and that's when my surgeon and I discussed the pathology report. The report was available 3-4 days after surgery on the hospital portal. Looking back, it probably would have been better for me to wait and digest it with the surgeon there to answer questions and explain ramifications of certain parts. There was a lot on there I didn't originally understand and it caused some unnecessary anxiety for me.

I agree with web265. You really need your first PSA to be completed 3 months after the surgery. To me that would be the ideal time to meet with your urologist and review the pathology report in detail.
