I can only tell of my experience. I had a radical prostatectomy in 2008 and like you everything seemed to be good. I did the same follow ups on a regular basis for at least a year with a PSA of 0.01. All of a sudden, 11 years later my cancer came back in the prostate bed. A bit shocked. So, that being said I'm not sure that there's anything that can be 100% certain when dealing with this.

Thanks for sharing your history. Good point: there isn’t anything for certain about cancer. How often have you been getting your PSA tested? I’m two years into my recovery. Up until now, I’ve been tested every three months. (Cancer was detected in one lymph node following my RP.) Since then, my cancer has remained in remission, Therefore, I’ll now get my PSA checked every six months for the next three years. Who knows, maybe even longer. Hope your doing well.
