Again, we wait. The pathology report should be back by the 23rd, and that will give us the true reading/grading of the cancer (tumor & nodes). Once that is done, the next marker will be the next PSA reading from blood work to be done about 6 weeks from now.
Normally, the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a "zero" or at a "non-detectible" level. In this case, Dr. G is looking for a reading of "0.05" of better. If there is any detectible PSA, then adjunct treatment of radiation, hormone deprivation or chemo may be required.
For now, that's pretty much it. I'm working on my recovery from surgery, and then we'll move on to the next step.
Thanks for checking in and caring about myself and my family. Your continued prayers and support will be appreciated.
