I am doing very good, back to normal one year later. I give all the credit to the grace of God and the Mayo-Rochester medical team that performed the radical prostatectomy and lymphadenectomy (wonderful center of excellence for prostate cancer). I can't emphasize enough the importance of having your RP at a center of excellence like Mayo-Rochester!!

Based on my Gleason Score of 7 (4/3), there is a 20% chance of biochemical reoccurrence over the first five years, but thus far all PSA tests have been undetectable (< 0.1) and I am keeping a positive attitude and praying daily that the prostate cancer is gone forever.

Take care and best wishes to everyone.
