Hi to everyone,
I have just gotten out of my doctor appointment were we discussed the pathology report.
So it is a T2 tumor type and an acinar usual form, no extension to the capsule, no seminal vesicles nor lymph vascular invasion.
No chirurgical margins involved except in one of 1 mm in the right apex. The doctor said that till 3 mm of chirurgical margins it has no statistical impact though...
The 18 lymph nodes removed also cancer free.
However it is confirmed a Gleason 8 and it was extended in both sides of the gland. So a big thing.
PSA test scheduled for early July. The doctor said it turned out to be not so bad and he is not saying now I need right away adjuvant treatment, rather we need to wait and see what the PSA say.
It has been a month since surgery. I am doing fine… I am sleeping without pills for over a week now and blood pressure has been normal ever since I had the surgery.
The thing causing me some upset thoughts though is those urine leakages that happen sometimes. Yesterday and today have been relative good days, but Saturday was bad. Well I never use more than a pad a day anyway, not even whenever I move more and I get more leakages. Nights are always dry and now till lunch time I manage to get relatively without leakages. I am not used to this and it is awful. The doctor told me today it is too early anyway to see better improvements.
About the erections, I am taking Cialis 5 mg a day and an SOS pill of 20 mg called spedra… I don’t a get an erection, but I feel it getting a bit bigger and firmer. It is not annoying me yet because I was expecting this or worse and honestly I am seeing some improvements.
Always glad to receive a comment or advice from you here.
Thank you, Paulo
