hello LynEyre,

thank you.

No, not the best but it is what it is.

So, keeping an eye on the PSA is the current plan. Thinking of booking a consultation with an oncologist to get his view. Not keen on RT but i suspect i'm going to go there sooner or later.

 My MDT Outcome  4+4 (5). pT3b pNx. PSA surveillance.  So, G8 but my surgeon is saying its a G9 hight grade and high risk. So, concerned that way.

John was in denial and waited as long as possible before accepting that he needed salvage treatment; his op was in Jan 2010 and he finally agreed to start HT in May 2012 for RT that July / August. It helped that the two years gave him the opportunity to completely recover from the op and have some normality before getting back on the side effects mill. He stopped taking the hormones early, he hated them so much. All these years later, his PSA happily Bob's along at around 0.1 and, apart from at PSA test time, the whole debacle seems like a distant memory now.

PS your pathology report says 3+4 so worth clarifying with the surgeon why he is saying different.
