Great stuff Ido4, 10 years for me this summer, no radio therapy yet but I still have a nagging rising PSA. Fortunately I have learnt to ignore it with the help and support from this site.

Well done to both of you, hearing good news stories really boosts my morale.

All the best for the future.

Hi John, good to hear from you and good you’re doing well.

i haven’t been on the forum as much in the last year. I visit occasionally.

I’m still happy to help out with replies on the forum but there are a good few more able than I who have joined more recently.

Stay well. all the best.

Thanks Chris. I am so happy you are still going strong.

As you once said to me I chose to face the cancer head on rather than wait when I had recurrence.

Good to hear from you.

Hi Francij1,

thank you. I’ve followed you closely over the years too. I saw that your PSA is staying around 0.13. It’s good you’ve had PSMA scanning and there doesn’t seem to be a major issue. It’s hard to ignore things but you’re absolutely right to do that and get on with your life. Carpe Diem.

Thanks Chris. I’m not on any treatment thank goodness.

I still follow your situation. So sorry you are back on treatment. Have they added Abiraterone for you yet?

Best wishes as always,

Thanks Kev. I see your PSA is still undetectable after salvage radiotherapy. Long may that continue.

Latest update PSA still <0.1 on 23/6/2025. Fabulous.

My 10 year anniversary since surgery was on 23/7/2025. Lots of annoying side effects but still here and enjoying life. Grandchildren, holidays, golf and pickleball are great fun. 
When my cancer returned in September 2016 and my PSA was doubling every 4 weeks I was sure I was a goner. I feel very lucky in so many ways.

Good news indeed.  I was just looking at your profile. You've had a lot of events. It's well presented as well, I think I'll update mine similarly.
