While I have only been a member here at WH for 8-9 weeks. I have found an incredible sense of compassionate support and understanding. The commonality and bond amongst other brothers and sisters with our PCa jouney is like no other I have ever experienced.
I only wish I had found HW long before my surgery back in February as often I felt very much alone. Once here though I new I had found the right place and the right people to help me move forward from where I was, one step at a time. So many of you have been very supportive and inspirational in my few postings and I thank you all for that. There is much to be gained by also reading other's stories and concerns. I have always tried to pay forward my personal experience and knowledge to other members where ever possible and find personal comfort in being able to do that. By being here at HW it has helped both the physical recovery and the emotional healing so very much.
The last week or two my anxieties started to return in anticipation of my first upcoming post Sx PSA test. Certainly an anxious period as so many other members have experienced. Worry will not change the outcome, but how do you just turn off the worry switch of wondering will it be detectable or undetectable.
Anyway, as of last Friday, it was with a profound sense of happiness and relief that I am able to share our great news, my URO confirmed my PSA was rated as "undectable" @ <0.04. Amen for that. It was an awesome feeling moment and a great sensation to update my signature accordingly.
My continence is probably back to 90% - 95% and I am hopeful to exhaust my existing supply of light pads and not have to buy anymore anytime soon. Oh and lastly "woody" is slowly starting to wake up and show some signs of life again.
To my other brothers before me, cheers to you all with your journeys and to those other brothes just starting to walk in similar shoes have faith, hope and be inspired by others here at HW.
Thanks to you all and best wishes,
Terry
