Had another < 0.01 PSA result today. That makes 3 in a row at 3 month intervals, after a 0.03 at 7 weeks post op. Doc says one more at the 3 month interval, then we can move out to 6 month checks.

Starting to see decent response using the oral meds over the last few weeks, but still not quite there. The good doc gave me a script for Muse if I'm ready to pay the tariff (no insurance coverage for ED help.) He is confident that I'll get there either way.

Just came in from picking a pint of raspberries in the garden. Tasty!

Life is good, folks, life is good.

Thanks to all of you for the well wishes.

What a difference a year makes. about 12 months ago I found HealingWell while in that no-mans land between biopsy and surgery. Reading filled in a lot of details but the possible downsides of this disease also became apparent. Also, community here also began to grow on me. Now, after working through the usual recovery issues, I'm looking at a very good prognosis.

I just hope that other new members see this and other reports of good outcomes, and are able to keep a balanced viewpoint. My case was flagged through an annual health screen and was picked up quite early. Needless to say, I'm an advocate of testing and then making a personal treatment decision. I recently made a private offer to my employer's HR department to share with anyone else who may have to travel down this road.

Congrats on maintaining your membership in the illustrious Zero Club. I hear it is a really nice place. Never been there myself, but that is what I hear.

Enjoy the days brother and congratulations again.
