One year past prostatectomy, in waiting mode.

It will be a year next month since I had my prostectemy. I’m 72. Gleason 9, extra scapular, etc. I just had my 4th PSA test and still < 0.01. Doctor is very encouraged. Will now get tested in 6 months. He made it clear that the two milestones are 5 years and 10 years. There certainly is a lot of mental anguish, knowing that the next test could be a red flag. I’ve made some dietary changes and continue to exercise(although I’m limited right now as I just had a total knee replacement). I’m enjoying every day. Try and be thankful you are undetectable. Enjoy each day. If and when there are changes in your health, take them on with the same determination you presently have. As I have learned, PC treatments have come a long way and it’s not necessarily a death sentence. I too, worry about the future, but have found enjoying the present has been better for my physical AND mental well being. Best wishes. Health and happiness. 🤞🙏🏻

Thank you. Agree totally.
And I have been inspired by others on this forum to embrace the gratitude.
When I go to bed, I review the day in my mind, find something or things that made me happy or went well, and say to myself "today was a good day. And tomorrow will be another good day ".
Try to live each day in peace and love, with foregiveness and happiness.
Best to us all.
