It is so hard not to worry. Sometimes I get an ache in my leg and think, here we go again, it's on the move. Then ache stops and I forget about it. I lost the < less then on my last testing for psa. Yes very minor but it stays in the back of my mind, I go next week for monthly testing. I'm happy to read on here that slight increase is no big deal, happy but still concerned. I'm stage 4, dr said he can control situation and on we keep going. Best to all.

“ It is so hard not to worry.”
Yes, still it seems helpful to forgive reality for what it is rather than condemning it for what it isn’t. Worry is a form of fear, and it is totally normal to have these thoughts of loss and the accompanying feelings. Resistance to reality has the potential to make us suffer. Acceptance of reality at the least has the potential to make it bearable, in my opinion.
