I received my third post-surgery PSA test results and I'm joyful and thankful to report that seven and a half months post op my PSA remains undetectable
. Waiting for this result was a little more stressful that the past two since my blood was drawn on December 20th, and I had to wait until today to receive the results due to my urologist's office being closed four days over the holidays and staff taking vacation. Usually I have my results in about
five days.
Looking back before surgery, I was under the fallacy that once the prosate was removed and if the pathology report stated the cancer was contained, there was really not much to worry about. It was guys who received alternative treatments that involved keeping the prostate that had to worry about the cancer coming back. I couldn't have been more wrong. Whatever treatment we choose, all of us have to worry about post treatment PSA results. We're all in the same boat, and I pray for all here to have undetectable PSAs.
