How do you fight anxiety from rising psa

From my experience it was a shock to find out I had a tumor with PSA at 3. Biopsy confirmed Gleason 9 Grade 5. Yeah, I was shocked. I was anxious and the testing process always seemed too slow. So once I had the information and the RP I focused on the things I could do. The big one was acceptance that my life had changed, from then on I used the term "the new me" at each stage. I started hiking and spent a lot of time with my guys. I got fully engaged in life and got in really good shape to mountain bike and officiate my sport of choice. 3.5 years later, post radiation due to BCR I once again have a new me that has been ongoing for 13 months. Frankly I am so over this one but keep moving, pushing, cutting out time to rest and spend with my wife, exercise and mountain bike. Radiation took officiating away from me. No more running. I find it extremely helpful to change what is in front of my mind, as I believe it will focus on what is in front of it. Probably the most important thing I can do for my mental health.

That's it Chippy! Stay active, keep the brain engaged and happy. I'm also a G9 and yeah, it can come back. I'm almost expecting it to so if/when it does, I'm ready! I walk everyday and run 3 days a week. I feel great right now. Keep active and try to eat the right things.

Guys, WE GOT THIS!
