Pratoman--I'm VERY interested in what Dr. Tewari has to say about the margins, please do post his answer. I don't see him until mid April, so I'd love to have an answer. On the PNI, the NP told me the exact same thing, that almost everyone who undergoes a RP has PNI evident in their surgical pathology.
JW, i saw Dr Tewari this morning. I asked him the question about
positive intra-operative but negative FINAL margins. His response was a bit vague at first, i thought, but i pushed him a bit, and what he said was basically that "negative FINAL margins are good. negative intra-operative margins would have been a little better".
Still a bit vague, but whatever, it more or less answers our question. You might want to ask him the question when you see him in April. It would be curious to hear the answer again, and get your take on it and compare it to mine. Just a thought.
