we're in total shock over here, tears of joy.

first post-op PSA is <0.02

we'll continue to be vigilant, we know how easily these numbers can change, but omg...

tears!

love to all of you!

Congrats on the nice PSA score! I'm no expert here, but given the negative margins, I would guess that outweighs the upgrade on the Gleason score. Regardless, nice going and I wish you a life of undetectable PSAs!

I am so happy for you both. That PSA is such good news. I pray that it stays that way.

We share your happiness. Enjoy this moment of victory!

Congrats on the great news! I've been following you closely as we are close in age and I'm hopeful for the same outcome. So happy for you!

Awesome! We'll be praying this continues.

Congratulations on your 1st undetectable psa. There are several of us on here close in age, diagnosis, and path reports. I have been trying to keep up with each one of us enduring this journey we're on. Stay strong and love on your family. Wishing many more good reports to follow.

Really good news - about the only thing that would have been better news would have been oops, we are sorry we missed diagnosed you from the beginning, sorry, no pc, here is 2 million dollars, we will send another check next July. wait this is tax free money- LOL Congratulations This is just a joke- your good numbers are no joke - they are real- count your blessings today- very happy- laughing for joy for you.
Blessings

thank you all, we truly appreciate each & every response!

halbert, side effects are at a bare minimum, and i'm not sure if that's due to his young age (42) or our skilled surgeon, but we'll take it. the only thing that bothers him are these shooting pains he gets from time to time in his prostate area. they are fleeting, though.

randrball1 -- i just saw your signature. are you doing adj radiation just in case, or did your numbers start to rise after your first undetectable? thinking of you.

thinking of ALL Of you. what a special cyber fam. xx

Sometimes "shock" is actually a happy place. May you have many more great numbers!
