CONGRATS !!! : )))) Those are wonderful news !
May your PSA stay that low (or lower) forever 🙂 It is always great to hear about successful treatments and good results .
I wish my husband had your doctor following his AS, and thanks for sharing exact AS protocol so other patients can see it and know how it is done correctly.

When I was initially diagnosed with PC, my wife and I had in-depth discussions about me going on AS.
She expressed that she wanted me to have surgery (saying she couldn’t bear the thought of cancer being in my body); my urologist recommended surgery (but, offered no sound explanation as to why).
But, having been getting annual PSA tests for 12 years, I showed her the little data I had collected
indicating that with my numbers, active surveillance was the appropriate decision for me.
With that decision made, much of my time has been spent maintaining normalcy for my wife and myself, and insulating her from the continuous grind - physical and mental - of test-after-test-after-test. (But, with the good PSA news that I had today, I couldn’t help but to text her and share the news with her!)
It has all worked out just fine and as planned. My wife now understands about active surveillance and is glad that I took that route.
