Wow. Path report came in early. Clear margins all around. Gleason score 4+3 with extracapsular involvement. This last means I had to have surgery. The first means the surgery was successful. No seminal vesicle involvement. In effect this means I no longer have prostate cancer!<\/p>\n
I’ll have PSA tests on a regular basis but the presumption is that I’m now cancer free. This will take a bit to integrate. Just as it was difficult to absorb being a cancer patient, it will also be hard for me to recognize myself as a cancer survivor. The whole episode lasted almost exactly 3 months, April 14th to July 11th. Which is odd. To have something that momentous arise as a possibility, become a certainty, then disappear as a problem.<\/p>\n
