Hi Folks
I wonder if anyone can help with this question?
Following his RP the surgeon came to see my husband saying all went well and to his eye the cancer appeared contained in the prostate but he did take the left side nerve bundle?
Would this have been as he his Gkeeson 9 and the lesion was left mid? Was this to get a clear margin?
Or Can a cancer be contained but in the nerve Bundle? Is this was is called Perineutal invasion?
Thanks
Hello Annieone
I am so sorry you have received a lack of information about what happens after surgery. Here's a link to our guide to a prostatectomy.
There is also the guide from Prostate Cancer UK - link attached:

There is also a post surgery support pack available for free - again here's the link

I do hope the above helps, if I can do anything else for you please let me know.
Best wishes - Brian.
