Blood test at 8:40 this morning and the results available on my GP's online system at 3pm, which is pretty good! It's now six and a half years since my diagnosis and my PSA remains stable at 1.0, which is the same as it was in April. My last few years' test results are:

2.0: Oct 19

1.4: Apr 20

1.5: Oct 20

1.5: Mar 21

1.2: Oct 21

1.3: Jan 22

1.2: Apr 22

1.0: Oct 22

1.2: Apr 23

1.2: Oct 23

1.0 Apr 24

1.0 Oct 24

I'm beginning to think that it's remotely possible that I've beaten this thing! How likely is it to return after this many years? I just get so stressed waiting for test results that it would be wonderful to not have to worry. Probably an impossible dream, I know.

Probably worth asking if annual testing is the way to go now...

Phone consultation with a specialist cancer nurse from Clatterbridge yesterday. Everything fine and we mutually agreed that I'd move from six monthly to annual testing, so no more testing until next October.

Feeling quite happy!

Congratulations. You're timeline is very close to mine. They've just moved me to self-managed PSA tests, although they still seem to be 6-monthly. This is nothing to do with reaching 5 years - it's happening to everyone at my hospital after treatment, because they now have too many patients for them to be able to see oncologists after every PSA test. No more consultations, unless anything nasty happens with my PSA or I get any other side effects. Interestingly, my PSA tests had all had Testosterone added since I came off hormone therapy and that was supposed to stop, but the automatically produced blood test form for the next PSA test still includes Testosterone.
