Robotic prostatectomy and lymph nodes dissection

Great news! I too had 13 nodes removed at Mayo Jax but in Sept. They were negative. My gleason was upgraded after surgery to 4+3. Margins clear. My first psa is in Dec. Praying for undetectable! I dont think I have any side effects from the node removal. I was also 100% continent after catheter removal. I feel very blessed too!

Wow! That is great news. I pray if my situation, if it comes to that, that I'm that fortunate. At this point, I'm coming off of a PSA reading of 13, and now it's a 0.3, due to some ADT/hormone treatment, from 1000mg of Abiraterone, and 5mg of Prednisone, and one injection of Lupron. That PSA of a 13, came down within a month and a half, but my new concern is how my PSA got to a 13. This is what I was told, after my PET SCAN, it found two suspicious spots both less than a cm, but they are there, now they won't say it's cancerous yet, I pray their not, but the oncologist says their to small to do a biopsy. So I guess I'll wait and see? But congratulations on your good news. You are blessed!!
