Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / August 2004Cath Out - Path In
I got my catheter removed today (whew!), and got the pathology report. It showed a Gleason 6 (same as pre-op), Stage T2a (pre-op was T1c), tumor in left lobe (mostly left posterior, but also left anterior). No perineural invasion, no vascular invasion, no seminal vesical involvement, no bladder neck involvement. Just "Tumor confined to prostate" and "Surgical margins free of tumor." Also, as far as incontinence goes, so far, so dry. (But it's only been about an hour.) hi glenn - it's sounds like you got the best of all the worlds. gland contained, dry, no involvement. now, you can get back to living again, now that this phase of the nightmare is over. it's like a card game. you were the winner - big time. congrats. and may you have many, many undetectable psa's to come. ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Growing old is invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so." So pleased with your outcome........ Now lay back, take it easy and rest as we all pray for good PSA's in your future. jh > I got my catheter removed today (whew!), and got the pathology report. > It showed a Gleason 6 (same as pre-op), Stage T2a (pre-op was T1c), [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Also, as far as incontinence goes, so far, so dry.

You should come through this with a "presumed" cure! ie, you will die of old age before any sign of it returns... Great news, Glenn! Next milestone, PSA = undetectable. And many more after that, we all hope. P.S. Wear the pad... just in case :)  SignatureJerryW jweindel at flash dot net > I got my catheter removed today (whew!), and got the pathology report. > It showed a Gleason 6 (same as pre-op), Stage T2a (pre-op was T1c), [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Also, as far as incontinence goes, so far, so dry.

Upgrade in Stage is normal. Your biopsy sounds very, very good.

The most important thing is to have undetectable PSA's from here on out. All the other problems are just minor hassles. Don't forget to burn the bag to the woody gods!!
