Long time since I posted as I have been lucky enough to continue my life with very little effects.

Today I got my results from my latest PSA and MRI tests.

I wonder at times what is going on !!

After the initial scare of being told I have PC everything seems to be going in reverse.

Today the specialist tells me the MRI test was inconclusive..what does that mean? ..excuse the language BUT WHAT THE FOOK.... we have been on a knife edge since I took the MRI and he now tells me its inconclusive.

To add to the good news my PSA level is now sitting at 2.8..the second time it has fallen from an initial 7 !!!!!!!

Did they make a mistake on the biopsy...he says no, samples came back malignant.

Very very glad I opted for Active Survailence as despite the initial shock of being diagnosed with PC this "Gamble"as been a winner (So far).

I am not naive enough to believe that everything in 100% but at the moment me and the family are one set of happy bunnies.

Reading some of the situations a lot of families are going through due to PC, I sometimes sit back and wonder if I am a lucky lucky guy and maybe my journey can be of comfort to some people and it is not all doom and gloom.

Be strong have faith.

Yet another 3 month check up and yet another possative result...PSA dropped again to 2.2. ????

Feeling a very very lucky guy.

Next stage is another biopsy in March.

Just hoping and praying this last 12 months is not the calm before the storm but a happy bunny at this moment.

Congratulations Tomo to you and I am sure the OH is very happy as well. Hopefully the PSA will maintain or continue to fall and like every thing in life carry on until the next hurdle.

Stay positive and live your life after this scare it makes you think about now more often than the future.

Best wishes, Chris/ Woody

Glad it's all going to plan Tomo, long may it last for you.

If, IF IF there is a change in March and you have to make a decision re: treatment then at least you've lived the intervening months as normally as possible.

Good luck for the next test
Best Wishes

That is brilliant news Tomoholland, congratulations to you and to your family.

As for the lull before the storm?

Worry about the storm when you start to feel the rain on your face and the wind in your hair.*

Have a great weekend.
