cancer found in seminal vesicles

[vinnie1948]

My PSA level was 8 and my biopsy showed my cancer to be Gleason 6. (I am 61 and am in preety good shape - 172 lbs and walk about 3-4 miles a day). I had successful robotic surgery and only two weeks after surgery have full continence, mobility and am close to back to normal.  The downside is that the pathology report showed that there was an invasion in the seminal vesicle.

My surgeon was surprised but not alarmed because he said there is a good chance that since the seminal vesicles were also removed during surgery there is a strong likelihood that "all" the cancer was removed.

However, he is not making any determinations until my first PSA (six weeks after surgery). If the PSA is higher than might be expected, he said he might recommend radiation and hormone therapy.

My real question is, all things considered, what might my outlook for long-term survival be?
