We saw the Dr on 02-17. I asked about the differences in the surgical pathology findings between our hospital and John Hopkins. Our Doctor was not real concerned as he considered the differences small. The big difference was EPE
Hospital, Left anterior apex focally with positive margin <3mm
John HH, Left anterior apex, nonfocal with positive margin <1mm, They also noted EPE in Right anterior apex nonfocal. Our Doctor did not seem concerned since prostate was removed.
The Decipher was 0.27, low risk, Doctor said he was surprised but pleased. I was surprised too and me being me, I was expecting a higher number. So, feeling better and next PSA is in 3 months.
In case anyone is interested, MC was billed $5490.52, approved amount $4109.34
The MC deductible is covered by our BC/BS. We are so fortunate to have good coverage.
He is doing well with recovery, 6 months since surgery.
