Steve,

That is fantastic news mate. I am so pleased for you and I hope you have a well deserved celebration.

The fact your PSA is undetectable is a huge milestone.

I hope and expect it to stay that way

 

Cheers

Phil

Thanks everyone!

Hopefully for those just starting on the journey it gives some hope that even if the surgery isn't 100% successful, any remaining cells can be mopped up with radiotherapy and, in my case anyway, the side effects have been minimal - yes they were 'life changing' but not 'life limiting'.

So just met the oncologist - officially I am cancer free at this time and I have been taken off the HT woohoo

I have my next PSA test planned for 1 year after the end of SRT and the threshold for any further intervention has been set at 2. Further RT is possible depending on what develops but the oncologist suggested that most people don't see anything for 10 years although it could be possible 2-4 years depending on how it grew and was treated.

I'll certainly be enjoying my holiday that starts on Sunday :)

Congratulations Steve.

Wishing you some peace and quiet after all you have been through.

Just about to start this process myself once one or two things get sorted. Thank you for posting so regularly. It's been really helpful.
