Hello everyone.  Diagnosed in November 2016, age 46.  pT3bN0M0 and Gleason 9.

Prostatectomy followed by salvage radiotherapy and 18 months of hormone therapy (bicalutimide).

February 2025, PSA <0.025 - the lowest possible reading on the machine at my lab.

Thank you to those of you who supported me as I made my treatment decisions.  And, to those of you with a Gleason 9 diagnosis, don't lose hope.

(Markac_99, your inbox is full and I can't reply to your question.)

That’s great news Ulsterman, I’m really pleased for you. Like you, I was T3b but only Gleason 7. I wasn’t offered surgery, but if I knew then what I know now,  I would have pushed for it even if I needed SRT like yourself.

good luck for the future,

Derek

Fantastic news ,always wonder about those that don’t post regularly! Hoping that its not for another reason . Gary is 9 ( and a bit) yrs,4+5 with lymph node spread .Still working and PSA undetectable. It’s forums like this and the fantastic community of men and partners that help those that are traveling this path .

Best wishes till your next update .

Great result. I managed to get a PSMA scan and subsequent treatment after quoting your scan results to my oncologist 👍
