Hello to all, and thanks all for the good wishes with this surgery. Yes, according to the doctor, the cancer had spread to the membrane that surrounds the Prostrate, and there was a possibilty that it could spread. Only time will tell, along with more PSA blood draws. Last blood draw showed ZERO, which of course is what we want. Will continue to have the blood draws for a year, and hoping it stay zero of course. As far as healing, it is completed, I think. Since I had the surgery robotically, the doctor told me there would be NO PAIN; yeah right !! Well, he was right; NO PAIN, just some discomfort for afew weeks. Wouldnt have thought that with 4 holes in my gut and a 3" incision (the exit hole for the gland when they removed it; whole, not in pieces). With Obamacare, just about kiss off my knee replacement, unless it gets repealed after Nov 2nd... the price of getting old, hi....
