Hi all, 

I'm currently waiting for RALP following an end to AS due to my mental state.

Estimated time now is 11 weeks.

52 years old G7 3+4 , 30cc present in 5 from 6 locations on the prostate and 8 from 19 cores.

Since May 2025 my psa has risen from 4.9 to 10 to 12

Is this irrelevant as I'll be having ralp in 11 weeks ? Or would you suggest anything else could or should be looked at now.

Many thanks

  • Hello Steve ( 

    It's a Gleason 7 (you don't give your TNM score) but as long as the cancer is contained in the gland 11 Weeks should be fine. It will give you plenty of time to practice your pelvic floor exercises.

    I wish you well with the surgery.

    Best wishes - Brian.
