pt3a lymph nodes removal

[Bobby999]

has prostectomy 2017. Pt3a gleason 3+4. Surgeon removed 18 lymph nodes. All were negative. Is this normal?

[Tall_Allen]

Yes. But why are you asking 6 years later?

[Bobby999 in reply to Tall_Allen]

my psa started to rise slowly. <.1 Don’t know the affect of having so many lymph nodes removed?

[Tall_Allen in reply to Bobby999]

They checked for spread to the pelvic lymph nodes 6 years ago.

No need to do anything until your PSA > 0.1
