Well, I had my two-year PSA test about 4 weeks ago, and I'm happy to report that it is behaving itself, as I am still in the undetectable range (< 0.02). After about a year, all of the minor side effects have gone away. I was remarking to my wife some time ago that I actually have trouble remembering all of the tumult and anxiety I went through at the time. The human memory works in mysterious ways!

My journey still goes on, and I'm having a chance to pay it forward first hand at the Cancer Center where I was treated in 2023. A tumor in my head that was operated on in 2021 is beginning to grow a little, so my Neurosurgeon, who follows my annual MRIs, suggested that I do a 30-session radiation treatment on the spot to shrink it down, hopefully on a permanent basis (hey, I'm 70. 10-15 years is "permanent" in my book!).

Anyhow, I'm now back to the same location for this round of radiation as I was 2 years ago, with 24 of the 30 sessions now behind me. I've gotten to meet and talk with some other patients waiting for their treatment, mostly for Prostate Cancer. I'm always happy to put myself forward as someone who went through what they are now facing, stressing the positive recovery that I've had. Even more so, I have shown little or no side effects of this round of treatment, even though the location of the beam is in a much more precarious location this time. Maybe it's genetics, or a very positive attitude towards the Prostate and now Brain "problems" as eminently "fixable" with little upheaval to my life.

I guess you are now past the SBRT sessions and are getting back to a normal life. It's not exactly like it was before all this started, but close enough to what a guy moving through his late 60s would have expected.
