Hi Pete 

That's great news and I am very pleased to hear it. 

My PSA is rising steadily but not fast... So was 0.7 before Christmas. Latest test was a couple of weeks ago should talk to consultant in February... They could not locate the cancer even though PSA rising and want the doubling time to be 3 months before they will begin systemic treatment.

Anyway I hope to know more in a couple of weeks. 

Hope job goes well, take care.

You still on the low dose aspirin??

Cheers.

I gave up the aspirin years ago. It was to much hassle and gave me IBS :(

Hi I just spent the last hour reading this as I am following a similar path T3b after pathology op June 2021 then had salvage radiotherapy finishing in March 2022 …,,first PSA 0.06 in June 2022 and just had 2nd and it was 0.04.

So still not undetectable and was panicking a bit , but reading your story I feel really hopeful so Thankyou for keeping it updated I am also a massive worrier and dread every test result . Was told that the machine as of recently detects lowest 0.03 prior to that was 0.1 …. So I’m hoping like you to get the <0,03

Really happy you have had such great results .

Hi Dessy

I am glad that it has reassured you. As you can see from mine it did oscillate a bit to start with as the cancer cells slowly died (I like to think of them screaming as they did so) but settled down. I had a long journey with fear as a companion because I had a very rare type and a fast relapse post op but it turned round and so did my fears. I learned that you can get focused on the negatives of the numbers but quite often, lady luck smiles on you. You just have to take it one day at a time. Good luck to you both!

Its all good. They are still keeping me on six months for another round as I think they think I am a worrier :)

They said there was no medical reason, just reassurance.

Since my PSA anxiety only arose in the hour before the call, I can live with that :)
