Hi everyone, here I am 10 days post surgery, have a bit of bowel problem, which I am fixing with stool softener, post op Pathology, upgraded my tumour from T2a to T3a, but the capsular penetration is microscopic, the Uro reassured me I am ok, and just got it in time, now for the PSA test.

The catheter really irritates me, but I am coping with it, counting the days to "free Willy" am driving my car, (not far) and almost feel normal, be glad to be free and just take clothes off for shower, instead of checking out bag ties, putting waterfroof over catheter connection, and cleaning and washing "Mr Hang"......still all this is better than dying from something you did not know was there, I still thank God I found out in time.

All the best to all of you and thanks for your help, and thoughts/prayers.

Regards Mal.

Maldugs - you're in great spirits and the time is flying by, isn't it? It's so tiresome - that catheter - but it'll be gone so soon (waving goodbye). In all the research and discussions, I see so many path reports that get upgraded once they have an actual look at it (ours certainly did and with that microscopic escape possibility).

It's so nice to also have that positive note from the uro. Now, we can all wait "patiently" for your first PSA!
