Great numbers, congratulations! 👍👍👍

I've got bloodwork a week from today. Haven't started losing sleep yet and hope I don't. I don't need numbers that low, just a significant downward trend to stay off chemo.

@mjp0512 - I’m getting my PSA check on the same day (2nd one, 6-month point), with my follow-up scheduled for my 60th birthday.

Hoping we both have something to celebrate. 🙌

@turtbean - This will be my first test since SBRT to L5 in May. I just need PSA to drop enough to show that the L5 met is what caused the drastic rise over the last few tests. Fingers crossed for both of us. 🤞🤞🤞

Oh man, the irony of being in a fatal accident while going to or from lifesaving treatments and tests is always at the back of my mind…
And your treatment itself has been exhausting; stay alert, bud!!😳

CONGRATS : ))) !!!! 🍀 What a wonderful milestone !!!
May you stay undetectable forever ✨ : )))

PS: Talking about "OS" 😋, ha ha, PLEASE be careful while driving tired. My hubby is notoriously unaware of his almost narcoleptic episodes behind the wheel (!!!???) . It drives me nuts lol !
Cool that you have new Mazda : ))) - my daughter has that model too and I LOVE it. Hers is red - what is the color of your new "macchina" ? : )))

Ahahahahaaaaaaa 🤣👍 , (*dying here), yes, and especially you ahahaa, nice try lol lol ; )

Joking to the side lol , it must be looking very elegant in that color 🕊️ : )))

I particularly like how big all of the windows are inclooding windshield and back window - there is such a nice view all around. Nowadays they make all cars with skimpy windows due to back camera and side sensors availability. Most cars feel claustrophobic now ! It also has so much space inside and the trunk is very nice too. Many cars look big but when you enter they are actually very small and trunk almost useless for bigger items (talking about cars in the same category).

Congratulations! It must be a big relief to continue having an undetectable PSA on your 1-year anniversary.

I had prostate cancer surgery last September, and my fourth PSA test is due during the second week of August. My expectation is that it will still remain undetectable (<0.02). That will mark — almost — my own first anniversary after surgery.

Given the high-risk pathological (pT3b) and biological (Decipher = 0.75) nature of my cancer, my main focus now is doing everything I can to reduce the chances of recurrence — or at least delay it long enough that I die of something else first :).

So instead of worrying constantly, which I was doing initially, I’m now focused on controlling what I can control: maintaining a rigorous anti-cancer diet, improving my sleep, and continuing my excellent exercise and yoga habits.

I wish you continued success in keeping your PSA undetectable.

Good PSA!

Still on hormone therapy?
