If you still can get messages on this group, I saw that I initially posted
on 10/02/07 10/16/07 and 10/24/07 about Larry and his psa etc..  His last
psa  then was 5.2. He had 2 biopsies. The first inconclusive ( suspicious )
and the second 3 months later  with the Gleason 3 +3,  microscopic staging
of cancer. I know I wrote to many in detail to those who emailed me.

All I know  after surgery his MD told me his cancer was at a microscopic
level.  I spoke to the MD  right after surgery,who said he saw no blatant
cancer or involvement of any  vessels, lymph nodes, nerves, other tissues
etc. Everything looked clean. and the surgery went routinely and smoothly.
Of course we will get the results of the biopsy report when we next visit
the MD for catheter removal.

I hope I answered the questions. Will keep you updated

Assuming you were trying to answer _my_ questions, I have to apologize.  For
some reason, when you discussed sending us messages last Fall, I was
thinking he had already had his RLRP then.  Just now, I checked my list and
have a surgery date of March 1, 2008, and that might have been an estimate.

In any case, you do not have the post-op biopsy that we so look forward to.
I was very excited when you said his "2nd Biopsy" was 3+3=6.  Many times, a
post-op biopsy will be slightly higher than a pre-op biopsy because the lab
has the whole prostate to work with rather than several needle cores.

So, disregard my last post and know we look forward to his post-op report.
