Hi Lyn
Had letter from surgeon today after last weeks meeting and it says PC extends to the right posterior margin and the pathologist have called it T3.
He also says that my psa post op is 0.1 ideally it should be less at this stage. However it's still nor formally called PC until psa goes up to 0.2 and given my pathology there's a good chance of PC remaining.
Then he goes on about me seeing an oncologist etc

I am sorry to hear that Tony. Salvage RT is the next step then? Will that discount you from the aspirin trial?

Hi Lyn
If I have to have salvage RT it won't affect trial and it means I get tested more often so should my psa go up it will be dealt with sooner. I've always felt in myself that this was going to be some journey and it wouldnt end after the operation.

Have the RT in the next four months and it will actually be adjuvant RT rather than salvage RT

Good luck

Hi Bri
If I need it let's hope so and I get the right oncologist because I've read a lot of them are not keen but I will definitely ask the question.
Has anybody on here had it ?
