6 weeks after DaVinci - New Zero Club member

I had my first PSA test after surgery scheduled for this past Thursday 8/30. Friday afternoon I called my doctor's office to see if they had the results back yet. They said no.

Great, I thought. I am going to have to wait until after Labor Day weekend. I was really nervous. My last PSA before my surgery 7/17 was 17.8. I recently developed a bladder infection, possibly from the catheter, that I was afraid would affect the PSA results.

At 9:20 P.M. Friday night, I got a call from my doctor. When I saw his name come up on my phone, I really got nervous!
He asked me how I was doing with the bladder infection. I told him much better doc, have you got my PSA results.
He said yes, "undetectable .01".

WOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!

What a relief, it has been a long, stressful summer from diagnosis May 8th to now. My wife and I decided very quickly to go with surgery. We wanted it out and the sooner the better.

It was like preparing for a prize fight, with Prostate Cancer. I changed my diet immediately, exercised, dropped 10 lbs., researched, joined Healing Well, arranged time off from work then headed to Orlando for the surgery (heavy weight fight). We just got the results from the referee and it was a TKO.

Thank you brothers and sisters for being there on your keyboards. Even when I was lurking in the background with nothing to say but reading all your post.

It will be with pride that I walk in the first 5K Great Prostate Cancer Challenge in Ft. Lauderdale, FL Sept. 15th. Google to see if they have an event near you.

Have a great Prostate Cancer Awareness Month this month!

Erections gone.  Cialas no workie.

Pump a bust as does remove the desire to stop and stare being intimate.

Erections now very slight but incouraging.

Wife very important to understanding and help with manual.

Just waiting.  Crossed fingers.

Fantastic BigMac.   Yes, proper diet and excersise really helps.  Prolongs life too.  Waiting for results of my last test.  0.00 three months ago.  Hopefully the same this time.  Should know next week for sure.
