Thanks for the update. I had surgery at Mayo in Jacksonville in early Sept. I'm doing fine now. just lots of anxiety about my first PSA in Dec. We had the same gleason score so your sharing is very helpful to me. Thank you

Sounds like we are twin cases. I was also quite anxious about my first PSA check, asked a lot of questions to others that had went through procedure. Nobody could guarantee any specific results based on their individual experiences, but I found that having prostate, seminal vesicles, and nine lymph nodes removed, with all having a clear pathology, gave me a lot of confidence with the 3 month PSA check.

So glad you chose a center of excellence for your surgery!!

I will be praying for a fabulous (undetectable) PSA level in December for you!!

Jim
