	Just under five days here. Do I hold the record?? LOL Had surgery on a Friday evening and got the sucker pulled out early the next Wednesday afternoon. They did the preliminary imaging stuff to see that the urethra-bladder connection looked OK but I did wonder if the cath. removal was a bit premature. Anyway, things worked out, although I did have some unusual bleeding and clots about four weeks later. All's fine now though. 54 years old PSA = First ever was 9.8 in late Oct. ‘06, two weeks later, 10.1 DRE: Negative Biopsy results 11/22/06 (6 out of 8 cores positive), both lobes, Gleason 3+3 = 6 Da Vinci Robotic RP surgery, City of Hope, Jan 12, 2007 Post surgery pathology – Organ confined, Gleason still 6, margins clear. First post-surgery PSA -- Undetectable, 2/20/07 “Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.” George S.
