David was always there for us. Kind always. Rest easy our friend....
Sad to hear and our condolences to Sonny's family and many friends. Sonny was Superman and always upbeat. Made me feel good whenever he posted. Fifteen years seems long time to be in the fight but in...
Wanted to add my wishes for comfort to you and your wife. You are showing remarkable strength. Best wishes, Jake...
In June this year, after 9 years of undetectable (less than .1) my annual psa test came back as .2 which was a surprise. This result came 4 months after my second covid vaccine shot. The urologist...
I can not give an opinion at this moment since my first (phone) Kaiser appointment with an urologist is this afternoon at 4 pm PST. I just started with Kaiser in January. As my profile indicates...
Jerry, our wishes are for your docs to find the right combination for you. We started our journeys on the forum about the same time and I've kept up with your posts. Please keep positive and play a...
He had a firm tact (and clever) way in letting us know when we went out of bounds. He has my upmost respect. 142 will be missed. Jake...
May fond memories of your brother replace your sadness. Peace to you and the family, Jake...
Great news Ed, there will be many photo ops ahead (I try to remember to click your link occasionally to see what is new). Enjoy that nice bay weather, we went to the Alameda beach for the Sand castle...
This poem gives words to feelings that I can not. Others have too. Thanks!...
Alephnull, you forgot his infamous moniker Casey59. His core messages might have merit but all is lost in his condescending tone and insults. A real shame....
Thanks Andrew for your wise posts (and your wise cracks that we enjoy too)! Keep them coming!...
I also wanted to add my well wishes to you and to thank you for your contributions to the forum. Please keep checking in, we all care about you. All our best to you and the rest of the members, Jake...
Glad to hear it has stabilized for now. Dr. Higano statement that a rise after 11 years from G6 treated with SRT wasn't unusual was new information to me. I appreciate your posting. I will follow...
Nice to see you visit again! There is comfort knowing you are still fighting and it seems like holding your own. Best wishes to you, Jake...
Your words touched feelings I've had but had no words. You give me the feeling that is ok. Thank you, Jake...
David, good seeing you post again! Keep fighting and keep inspiring us! All the best, Jake...
He hasn't gone far... in fact he just posted... Casey59=Jackh=NKinney...
Hi Jerry, Glad to see your post, I've wondered how you were doing. Glad to hear that tennis is still big for you.... I'm thinking this might be a key to keeping your p.c. under control! All the best...
David, sorry for the long bumpy road. We all hope and pray for pain relief; most important, spending time with that newly retired wife. Perhaps a trip to California to visit your son will be in your...
Post removed for Rule #3 violation....
Great to hear! Love seeing these results! All the best, Jake...
Bummer, wishing you the best Tatt, you'll handle the future with the calm and wit as in the past. Jake...
Just to add to the chorus about your psa so far after SRT, mine continued down for over a year before going undetectable and has stayed that way for over 6 years. Loads of factors involved but so far...
Almost 5 years undetectable, took a bit over 1 year to drop to undetectable after finishing SRT in May 2010. Mostly all good, a rare drop or two leak that catches me off guard but nothing enough to...
Logos, please ease up, I don't think the mods were after you but another individual who in a lengthy post earlier who went on and on detailing every offense/criticism of his postings with...
Wishing you a speedy recovery and a fresh start of better health. Our thoughts will be for you, Jake...
Just got my results a couple days ago and my psa has remained at <.1, undetectable for about 4+ years. My psa took around 13 months to reach undetectable after Salvage Radiation (SRT). Almost all of...
I read all your poetry and this is one of my favorites. Makes me think, calms me and prepares me for a trip up the Oregon coast in a couple weeks to refresh my spirit. Thanks! Jake...
I'm getting mine done without any issue twice a year. I'm working with my primary for follow-up digital exam and psa tests (my choice since I wasn't happy with the urologist/surgeon). We're on...
Thanks for the info Fairwind, fortunately I've not progressed there yet but I have a good friend that has. He has printed this out and will be taking your clip to his oncologist meeting next week....
Rest easy Zufus. You were the first to welcome me on the Wednesday chat and I've read every word you wrote afterwards. Your humor and zest for life became a lesson on living to the fullest for me and...
Mine was done without any anesthetic; tolerable and much less discomfort than the biopsy. I was readied for the procedure (i.e. stripped with towel across my lap) at least 25 minutes before the...
Our thoughts are for you and pray you will be on the uptick soon with an expanding waist line as well. Our best, Jake...
Good to hear! Good news can really lift the spirits; great reason to clear the head and enjoy the weekend! Our best to all! Jake...
Very sorry to hear the news of your husband passing. Please accept our sincere condolences. He knew he was loved by many while at home. Our best, Jake...
Can't improve on that! Congrats! Our best, Jake...
Bob, Hoping the next test will prove that the .1 is wrong.... occasional fluctuations/bounces seem to just happen. Relax as best you can. Our best, Jake...
I'm about 3 years undetectable after salvage radiation done after my DaVinchi surgery. The urologist does do a DRE during my semi-annual visits (I actually went a year this last time before going in;...
zufus, sorry to hear that once again you have to navigate the "Twilight zone" (as you used to call the murky treatment options). Nothing but good thoughts coming from us. I recall logging into the...
Not necessarily Buddy, mine halved every three months and didn't reach undetectable for 13 months. My radiation oncologist predicted that it would take about a year for my PSA to go undetectable upon...
Great news! I'm no expert on anything but steady-eddie psa on an AS program seems ideal.... keep doing what you are doing! Best to all, Jake...
Fantastic news Michael! Our best, Jake...
Will miss his genuine spirit of love to us all and his hugs he communicated in each message! Rest easy now. Jake...
Great job Ed! Been there several times during all seasons and never dissappointed. After seeing your photos, I just told my wife we gotta go now and showed her your stunning photos. Thanks, Jake...
Stable is great news! Might be all that Vitamin D you get playing tennis in sunny Florida (and drinking iced Orange juice of course)! Our best to you all, Jake...
Fantastic news Galileo! You are a beacon of hope as you crossed the 5-year mark and more post-SRT! Our best to you, Jake...
Bob (Ralpha Alpalfa) et.al., Just wanted to report the results of my cystoscopy procedure this morning to investigate the passing of blood clot and bleeding a couple months ago. As others kindly...
Zig, rest easy and recover quickly. Our best to you on Wednesday. Shot an email if you need anything... I'm just about 30 minutes away (well you know 880, pretty wide variance in that drive...
Thanks 142 for providing your experience too.... sure seems like things can be expected later than sooner with SRT... Keeping faith, I have time after time come to appreciate the Healingwell...
