Well this is a kick in the nads. I had it in my mind that undetectable PSA was the gold standard for knowing no recurrence. Guess the BCR odds really are not that important, instead only odds of death by PCa are reliable?

Yeah, I was pretty happy 15 months post-prostatectomy staying undetectable. A friend that encouraged me to deal with my prostate had been undetectible after his surgery for 5 years. He just told me last week that his PSA has just started climbing and he is meeting with doctors to decide his next step. I guess it's why doctors don't tell us we're cured because they don't really know, and I may have gotten lazy about continuing to get that simple little test.
Hope they didn't get his lab work mixed up with someone else's.
