Certainly, my Gleason Score was 7 (4/3). Eleven of the biopsy cores were positive for PC. My scans also showed "no" spread to lymph nodes or seminal vesicles.
I hope you are scheduled for a RP at a center of excellence and have chosen the best possible surgeon at that COE. The quality of your life, for the rest of your life, will depend on the competence of your surgeon and support staff.
Best of luck with your surgery!!!

My Surgeon has performed Prostecomy's for 20 years and has done them robotically for the last fourteen years. He's preformed over a 1,000. I feel I am in good hands...He talked me through everything and he exudes confidence. We have a good plan on the surgery and he will also remove many of the nodes in the pelvic area. Hoping it's "one and done"!
