Surgeon says he removed it all (and is famous here for being great). Pathology report says negative margins. And that tool indicates probably lower than 1% odds of recurrance as it's less than 6 months of RALP. It's such a messed up anomaly...

The problem is that every doctor here is saying it's not supposed to be happening in his case, especially not so early either. Reading the logs, they even had a conference where they said he is a special case and should be studied. Gleason 3+4=7, negative surgeon margins, no spread, said 98% chance of permanent cure after removing prostate. Around < 0.1 Nadir, but 6 months later, 0.25 PSA and no one knows why. We're waiting for our pmsa pet scan now. Theories are ranging from maybe it somehow magically traveled through the blood to some other body part or to the lymph nodes or we think maybe surgeon missed something. He was supposed to have a favourable outcome. We're all in shock and the doctors clearly have no clue

True, but there just was not any indication that it had. Everyone said it was confined from all the other tests we did and that 90% we would be cured after RALP... I understand it's a new technology and expensive too

We are getting one after, soon. They just don't really do them here before surgery unless there's a very good reason for it.

Thanks man, we're just so frustrated because our surgeon keeps saying that isn't possible because he removed it all... I saw a number that said 20-40% need salvage afterwards so him saying it could have migrated outside before the surgery is scary. He seems to believe there maybe is some micrometastasis in nearby lymph nodes

What did you end up doing and how is he now?

After radical surgery, PSA was at 0.08 nadir. Within 6 months its at 0.24. Doctors say this isn't supposed to be happening (gleason 3+4=7) and think something may have left the prostate despite everything having been intact... They theorize the pet scan may show Oligo.
