Just checking in with Q2 uPSA, still <0.014 so doing well there. I have gotten into a routine of not taking any supplements for 5 days prior to the test. I am on a 5mg Amlodipine Besylate as only prescription med and now really focusing on weight management.

I did decide to continue with the 3 month testing for now, may opt to move it to 2x a year in the future but I'm comfortable with following it. Still get a little anxious when the LabCorp email comes in with the results!

GG - Nice! The six month testing is really nice, just recently passed my first one. Schedule and forget is what it works out to be as I scheduled my next one for the fall. I get to be cured for 6 months at a time now and have a couple less conflicts each year.

A suggestion for reducing PSA-test anxiety: assume your PSA is fine, and think about your next test, when it comes, as just another confirmation of that. You can think of it as the "glass half full/half empty" attitude or, put another way, the mother's advice to her son "Remember, it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich girl as a poor one."

Good suggestion, if only it were so easy.

Congrats, GG. Like you, I had my surgery in Morristown and had to follow up with radiation. I wish you many more undetectable results!
