RALP results

Hello All, I had RALP surgery on 15 Aug 2017. Surgery went quite well. Had my catheter removed this A.M. I have been dry all day! Hoping to continue staying dry. My pathology report is as follows:
-Prostate gland and bilateral seminal vesicles, 57 grams:
Tumor quantitation: Approximately 8%
- Prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, Gleason 7 (3 + 4) tertiary 5,
- Bilateral seminal vesicles negative for malignancy.
Right pelvic lymph nodes (3):
- Three lymph nodes negative for malignancy.
Left pelvic lymph nodes (9):
- Nine lymph nodes negative for malignancy.
- Periprostatic fat:
- Adipose tissue negative for malignancy.
Thanks to all that have advice in the forum. I was able to obtain first hand information that really helped my jouney.

Very cool report.

Dry is good!

Congratulations! I know what a great feeling it is to have the cath removed.

May I ask, what do you mean by being "dry all day"? I had my cath out 4 weeks ago and am always dripping. I can't urinate on command, so I am worried but the doctor's office tells me I am "normal". So, are you able to control when you want to pee?

Thanks,

Nick

Nick, yes I am able to control when I pee. I came home from the doctors, started some light yard work and took the depends off at mid-day. I haven't had any leakage all day. I realize I am one of the lucky ones. I hope it stays this way

Congratulations! What a good result and let the first PSA test be zero and you can put PC behind you.

Congrats on the excellent pathology and good continence. I also was essentially dry after the catheter was removed. We are very lucky.

Good luck as your recovery continues.
