I recieved the the lab results today following my robotic RP. it was confirmed that the cancer was fully removed with no cancer in any of the nodes that were removed. I realise that this is subject to the usual caveats but it is the best news that I could have expected at this stage and I have every hope that the first psa result will be undetectable. Having been sucked into what felt like a black hole when I was diagnosed this seems like a bit of light at the end of it all. I hope this provides some comfort for those who are still numb after the initial diagnosis. At least it proves that things can get better and that there is a good prospect of remission and even  an eventual cure where the cancer is caught early.

My experience is quite similar to your’s Zebulon (See my bio).

Except that I had my robotic op. at the end of March 2018, and have had three quarterly PSA tests since – all “undetectable”!

It is not unusual to feel tired (and also somewhat “brain-fogged”) after a major operation and hours of anaesthetic, and this sometimes lasts for a few months.

That's great news Zebulon. My husband is a bit further down the road from you with his operation in November 2017. He had a good histopathology report and undetectable PSA since. The feelings of relief at those initial results were better than a lottery win. ( Well maybe not as good as that couple's in N Ireland that won the £115 millions 😀) 

We just have to hope we are in " The Lucky Club"  as far as the cancer returning goes and it stays away  indefinitely.

Wishing you best wishes for your first PSA as things are looking good for you.
