Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 20052 months after RRP, PSA = 0.0
I had a robotic radical prostatectomy with Dr. Ash Tewari at Weil Cornell Columbia August 10 with a Gleason of 3+3=6, cancer in 2 lobes, negative margins. Today my first PSA came back 0.0. I'm still leaking with 2 or 3 pads a day (completely dry in the morning = very hopeful) and have no erection yet. I have ten years to go to be scott free and am counting my blessings! Thanks to all of you for your terrific help and support. Michael K My experience is quite similar to yours. The surgery (RRP) was performed 8 weeks ago. My Gleason was the same as yours and cancer was found to be present in both lobes. The pathology report stated that 15% of the prostate had cancer cells. My first PSA test was taken two weeks after the surgery and the result was 0.1. The surgeon had me come back three weeks later because two weeks may have been too soon to do the test. The PSA was then reported as not detectable. I'll have it checked again in December. Leaking has not been much of a problem for me. >I had a robotic radical prostatectomy with Dr. Ash Tewari at Weil Cornell >Columbia August 10 with a Gleason of 3+3=6, cancer in 2 lobes, negative [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Michael K Michael -- AWESOME news!!! As you remember, we had our RRP's 2 days apart. My first PSA test is scheduled in early November. I'll let you know the results -- praying that they're as clean as your results! 'Tis the season for excellent PSA results for us recent victims. Good cheer all round! :-) Our joint New Year's resolution must surely be to dry up and get rigid!  SignaturePeter Headland I still leak at times (not all the time), but the rigidity has returned for me. Forget waiting until New Years!! ;-) > I still leak at times [...] but the rigidity has returned I have the opposite problem. Intellectually I think I have the better of the deal, but the lizard part of my brain envies you mightily! :-) SignaturePeter Headland I just got my PSA results back , 12 months after RRP by Dr Lez Thompson at Wesley Hospital in Brisbane.............0.01 Yippeee, I am so happy. Been dry (except for sneezes ) for the past 9 months, now if only willy would stand to attention I would be totally happy. But hey, I'm alive , what more can you ask? >I just got my PSA results back , 12 months after RRP by Dr Lez Thompson > at Wesley Hospital in Brisbane.............0.01 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > But hey, I'm alive , what more can you ask?
