Well, maybe ALL good as long as you don't think too much.
I just got my 2.5 year reading which is holding steady at .01. I had the common anxiety about
it inching up some more, so I have had several glasses of 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauv., in celebration that it hasn't gone up higher. It is my 3rd .01 since I lost my <.01 one year ago.
What's the bad news? None really, just being silly, but I harbor some wild fantasy that with some luck, dietary and supplemental experiments, I might get back down to <.01. But maybe something or everything I have been doing is keeping me steady? Or making me worse and I would drop back down to < without eating this and that. Or simply no difference? Well, there is just no way to know, is there? Although I guess if I dropped back down that would be a good enough sign to keep on doing what I am doing.
Actually, my news is spectacularly good I suspect! As I am a G9, SV+, positive margin, remaining not only at <.1, but less than that other way lower but still suspect # of .03, this long, seems to be rather against the odds for a
surgery only. When my surgeon, chairman of Vanderbilt's prostate surgery dept., gave me my less than great path report, after I got up off the floor, I asked" what's next?", to which he answered "nothing". Per his opinion, 2.5 years ago anyway, there was no survival advantage to jumping the gun rather than waiting for the PSA to rise some 1st. And though he only gave me <50% chance of not having BCR, he thought I'd be better off healing as long as possible before RT. Though I have had my doubts about
his advice, in my case I think he was right, since I now have 2.5 years of healing without being assaulted by other treatments and their possible SEs. And so far apparently no worse for it. So that is good news indeed.
Considering everything, I think I'll have just one more glass of Cab. Sauv.!
