It's been 13 years since my surgery in August of 2010. This 13th year has been unlucky in a number of ways for me: triple bypass surgery, COVID, two melanoma removals, and more. But, I just got the call that the PSA remains undetectable, so at least that important part of year 13 is lucky!
So, when do I stop worrying?

Great to hear Clocknut. I pulled another undetectable Friday myself and had the follow up with MO today.

When to stop worrying? I don't know. I noted to the MO that my view has been changing on the PSA tests. I assume undetectable, and if it's not, there's still plenty of road ahead. My MO advised me to live my life because I've got a long ways to go. We'll see. I don't see any compelling reason why it couldn't work out that way.

Despite the hurdles and recent obstacles you faced along life's cobblestone path, I'm very thankful that you received good news on the PSA front!

Nothing better than good news like that!

It's amazing what a little bit of good news like that can do to encourage a fellow!

We have new readers here, joining us all the time.

When I first got diagnosed, I was desperately searching for stories of treatment success, hope-filled stories, and glimmers of tales that represented long-term treatment success.

And your story, Clocknut, just checked ALL those boxes!

Mark the moment, and celebrate the milestone!

Gosh, WOULD 13 scoops of celebratory ice cream fit into a bowl?

Great day to read your great news ~

Yes! Great to read this.
I'm born on the 13th and always saw 13 as a good luck sign.
I'm going on two years since SBRT and am down from a just under four to 1.06
Thanks for letting everyone know.
