Went to see the surgeon for my post-op follow-up and prostate lab test results. He removed the 30 staples in my abdomen.

He said the cancer had grown from a 7 to an 8 in the 1-1/2 months since the biopsy in one area but there was no cancer present in the lymph nodes or surrounding tissue. That means I'm CANCER FREE.

I go for a cystogram tomorrow morning to check for any leakage. If all looks well they'll remove the catheter. I'm hoping that I'll be back on the bike in another 1-2 weeks.
