@rparsons , I am right there with you! I do worry about all things cancer related. How can you not!?
I was having anxiety years prior and unrelated to anything that is going on now. Zoloft fixed that problem and a good thing it did! I don't know how I could have managed the past two and a half years of cancer issues along with anxiety, as I had once had it! It was awful!
I sincerely hope that I can continue to worry but NOT have any cancers !
Thanks you for your reply and insight. All is appreciated!
PAUL

I rang that bell in 3/2023. Started ADT. 25 months later, I stop ADT if my PSA remains at < .01. I ll know in 6 more days. Bruce

Paul;

1st - congratulations on completing radiation tx.
I had 37 IMRT txs for.my persistent/recurrent PCa followed RP.
Was "confused" on "day 38". How much H2o do I need to drink before I drive today? Oh, not relevant 🙄.
For 1 yr post tx, PSA has tested "undetectable" at < .02

2 - I have PCa and it is never going away; although I may not hear from it until.....?

Rule: Don't borrow trouble until it's time.

Corollary: Worry is the interest you pay on borrowed trouble.

I try to remind myself of this when I start to worry, and no, it doesn't make it go away completely.
However, it helps me.
Best wishes to all.

Paul 28 how are you doing ?
Is this cancer thing still on our minds ? It is on mine. I can’t seem to shake it. Is this normal . I want to just put it out of my mind. Any thoughts from anyone out there ?
