Congrats!! I am just passing the 5 year mark with undetectable PSA. Was doing it every 3 months (for the 5 years) as mine was high risk, and now have extended the test out to every 4 months. Likely indefinitely.
Prayers for all here in the group we did not choose to join.

Good for you! I was also diagnosed high risk following my RP pathology report. I was getting a PSA test every 3 months, and my urologist moved my upcoming one to 6 months. After reading that you were in 3 month intervals for 5 years, I’m wondering if I should get tested in shorter durations for a longer period of time. We know everyone is different and doctors treat differently, but what’s your opinion? I plan to talk about this with him in my upcoming appointment. Thanks KJ
