same here I had same here I had my operation March 4th 2010 so what's going on 8 years been clean ever since. I was told it was also questionable whether or not I had prostate cancer anyway. There was no tumor found just a questionable hand full of cells that were microscopic and not even a cluster of them

Tremendous news, Michael. I've been cancer free 4 years now. Grateful to you and all the courageous honest wise men on this site for your support and concern.

This is encouraging. My husband goes in for RP on the 15th. I feel like even after surgery that most posts I've read show increasing PSA soon after. I was just getting ready to ask if anyone here has had no rise in PSA after surgery

Actually, I know several people who haven't seen an increase. I would say don't worry about it until it happens, but I know you'll worry anyway. How about, "Don't obsess"?

Thank you Michael! Yes, obsessing does no good anyway!

I didn't have a rise but I didn't have RP either. Still have my prostate 16 years after cryosurgery by Dr. Onik.
