On behalf of the zero club membership committee congratulations you are now a member in good standing with full privileges and benefits. We have a meeting tonight at our club house bar and all the drinks are on you, as long as our livers don't give out. Here is also to a lifetime of zeros, as the membership committee doesn't want to have to do any more paperwork for club dropouts. smilewinkgrin

Congratulations, JerryO. We all worry about that next PSA test, but for now, relax and enjoy the good report. Someone recently said to me, "Act like you are healed, and it will happen." That's what I am trying to do, and I hope it works for you as well.

Welcome to the Zero Club.

Hey guys, I'm a new boy to the Zero Club today though I've been getting PSAs for 39 months post op. Beers (and bourbons) are on me. Keep those 00s rolling in boys. Wished I'd found this site back in 2008.

Hey Jerry, don't you worry about that leakage only 7 weeks out. Most guys getting the good robotic surgery average 3 months to dry season and then you'll start feeling better in all ways in my experience.

Welcome to the club

I'd say that it's really good news after a Gleason 8 and SVI
