7 weeks after having robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, all is well. Fully continent, both nerves spared, a clean final pathology report, no spread outside the prostate, and a 6 week PSA test reading that is negligible. Next follow-up PSA test is in 3 months. Thank you for your advice and support.

Congrats, a result we all wish we could have got...be alert and never let your guard down and be proactive...PC is a sneaky little bastard...God Bless and good health.
My PSA was 0.90 with a Gleason score or 6,7, and 8 (in 3 different cores of 12) pre-surgery.
The final pathology report post surgery was Gleeson 6, 7, and 7 with both of the 7's being (3+4). My 6 week post surgery PSA was <0.10 undetectable.
On my surgeon's advice, I will definitely consider supplementing surgery with radiation in the prostate bed if my 18 week followup PSA is anything other than <0.10 undetectable.
