Yes, I am doing well too. Last 3 PSA scores were all less than 0.04 mg/L (The lowest Addenbrookes tests to) and my next test is in November.

Thank you Jamie, Jim and Jeremy.

Sorry hadn’t seen your replies as not on the forum as much. Not sure a day went by the last 12 months without going on to see how everyone was getting on, but I think it was beginning to take over so need to step back a bit. Although I do miss it!

We saw the consultant after PSA and T results. He’s really pleased with the progress so far and maybe even slightly surprised that something hadn’t shown up by now….he’s hoping rob is an exception to the rule 👍 let’s hope so! I know anything can change at anytime but just got to try to enjoy where we are right now.

From an incurable diagnosis last July to an undetectable PSA with rising testosterone and no HT injection since Nov 21….well we really couldn’t have asked for anymore, and feel so fortunate. Also despite age being 74 now he’s recovered so well and quickly from the op. ED of course still an issue but little improvements are happening.

Sending all our best wishes to everyone on here and wishing you all well x

Well another 3 months has passed and so another PSA test. Although a couple of sleepless nights, nervous as hell with a churning stomach, I think my anxiety levels improved this month on last….something to be thankful for.

Anyway latest test PSA <0.025 🙏🏼 Testosterone was done 3 weeks ago and has risen to 10 👍

I really do have to keep pinching myself, I can’t believe how different things are to his original diagnosis. I feel we have been so so lucky and fill up everytime I think of it! How different things could have been now. He’s been so fortunate to have recovered so well and quickly from his op aswell, so regardless of what the future holds we have been able to have an incredible year with lots of adventures. Forever grateful ❤️

I want to keep posting in here to hopefully provide some hope for anyone just starting this journey. It’s been a difficult few months on the forum with of course some really sad stories that have brought me to tears on many occasions. As many people say on here we are one big community and support for each other, and I do constantly think of all who are still having more challenging times and really do send all my best wishes to you all x
