I'm now at 17 months after my surgery. Got a call from the hospital today asking me how I was doing. Found that odd but reminded me to do an update here.

Got my latest psa back earlier this month and still holding at .005 undetectable. Also just got my latest shipment from ADC and kicking myself for not going with 25mg instead of 100mg manly pills. Now capable of functioning just fine without the pills but they are still nice to have. Got engaged two weeks ago so all in all life is positive... though some of you may disagree with the engagement being positive. ;)

On a sad note, my older brother had his psa checked and it increased from 5.2 to 7.2 in the last year. He is getting a second biopsy in two weeks. Its there, they just need to find it. He is already planning on radiation. He has my full support. Surgery made sense for me at 40. He is 53 and if that is what he is comfortable with so am I.

Good to hear from you, great news on your PSA, your engagement. Sorry about your brother, but sounds like
he's got a plan in place, and you to help him through it.
