What a year! Lottery result today..

Well following diagnosis last Feb (5th) and the trials and tribulations over my RT, short intermission for an emergency gall bladder removal, I have had terrific news today regarding my PSA result which was originally 63 and in August was down to 0.5. Today's score on the door is 0.01 and officially undetectable, so although not specifically cured it is to me the next best thing and left me feeling that I had won the jackpot on the lottery.

After I was told by my trials nurse I walked down the corridor and welled up with relief then she'd a few tears with my wife. It is a strange thing being on HT and getting good news it seems to make me cry as much as if I had been told some sad news, got another 12 months to go on them so will prob end up being a useless blubbering idiot.

I also officially start my add Asprin trials today so will not know if on placebo or one of the two real tablets (1 in 3 chance of being on real pills) now got to take them for the next 5 years.

I feel guilty for having good news when there is so much bad news around but will still keep fingers crossed that this pig of a disease does not return.

Best wishes to you all, Chris/Woody

And I thought this was going to be an exciting post where you told us you'd won £1,000,000.
But it's actually more exciting than that indeed.
What a result. There has been a fair share of good news recently which is good as there has been a lot of sadness too.
Well done
Chris

Brilliant news Chris!

We are both on different treatment paths, but I can relate to how you must be feeling.

Excellent news Chris. Crying a lot? - so what, shows the hormones are well in your system and doing their job.

Feeling Guilty? no no no, not necessary. Great news is great news and to be shared by us all. It lifts us all to know that treatments can and do work.

We can't control the winds - but we can adjust our sails

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. I know if it were someone else I would be congratulating them as well but it feels really strange being on this side of the fence.

Thanks once a gain, Chris/Woody

Thanks Mo and John, I know it's mainly the HT that gets me tearful but before I started treatment I was aware that as I have got older I have been getting more and more in touch with the emotional side of things.

I have found that even telling my family via the phone and informing them I feel a big surge of emotion and have to take big gulps to help me talk straight.

Cheers all, Chris/Woody
