@dailyeffort Thanks!
Just had my quarterly blood work today. PSA still <0.01 (undetectable), and all the tests in the LFT panel show my liver still tolerating these meds well (even better than last time).
The next test at the end of September is the biggie. That's when I'll find out if I'm officially in "stable, long-term remission" (5 years) with the help of ADT + Apalutamide. I know it's just an arbitrary number — it's not as if a switch magically flips on midnight at the end of the 5th year — but it's still an important psychological milestone, especially since my prognosis was so poor in 2021.
My onco accidentally left out the CBC panel, testosterone, and LDH this quarter. Those have all been stable for years, but I think they're required for IRONMAN (at least CBC and T), so I'll call the cancer centre tomorrow.
