Obtained my first result which was <0.1ng/ml considered to be undetectable. Consultant surgeon happy with it. Our local pathology services, apparently, use the 'standard' PSA assay rather than the 'ultra sensitive' one which uses two decimal points (e.g. 0.XX ng/ml). Opinions remain polarised as to the merit of one or the other. I am satisfied with that result: I refused to fall victim to so-called 'PSA Anxiety'!
I hope it stays that way for the next 5 years without biochemical recurrence. I'll happily settle for that!
However, my odds are not that good given my 1mm positive apical margin. It's not easy to ignore that damn 'Damocles sword'!
Meanwhile, I shall continue to squeeze as much juice out of my daily life as possible! 'Carpe Diem!'
Three and a half months on incontinence is down to a dribble usually after exercising. As for ED there has been some tumescence with orgasm which was a very pleasant surprise! Has been taking Cialis 10mg twice weekly. Medic has agreed increase to 5mg daily.
Next PSA in March.
