So far, so good...

I have been lurking in this forum for a while, just got my 3 1/2 month post-surgery PSA result, < 0.05. This is very good news, especially considering my grim numbers. I think I'm one of the oldest dudes here.

I want to thank you all. Your advice and shared experiences were very helpful to me.

I'm glad to see your post. I read here because my dad had the surgery a couple weeks ago. He is also in his 70s and his post-op biopsy was upgraded to a G 9 and there was cancer in his seminal vesicles too, which we did not know beforehand (his preop scans had looked good). He goes in for his first PSA check in about a month and so I'm glad to read your post today. I am hoping that his numbers will stay low for a while so that he doesn't have to cross the SRT bridge for a looonnnng time.
Congrats on your good news!

That is outstanding! Doesn't get better.

Here's to a life time of zeros.

All the best,
Andrew
