A bit of cheer for anyone who worries about small PSA changes.

The PSA in July had dropped back to 0.1 (from 0.11 in March/April) and the MRI was clear. Result today is <0.1 .... really not what we were expecting!

I say the MRI was clear; it has led to a referral for 2 new knees in January so we will have to give up the dancing for 4 months and we prepare for another battle with the car insurance provider in the Spring.

On such a sad day and with Julie, Trevor, Linda and David at the front of my thoughts, i am perhaps more relieved than happy. Lots of love to my friends here xxx

I know this may be teaching you to suck eggs , but 2 months ago I was booked in for a private left knee clear-out ( not replacement). I could barely walk the dogs anymore with diagnosed torn cartlidge. And now I’m 80% recovered. The answer being 2 liters of water per day , glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement , and the new Turmeric oral spray which bypasses the digestive system. So if you haven’t tried give it a go. I hear full knee replacements are very painful recovery and in my friends case led to his mother’s demise through infection and sepsis ( sorry ).
But great news for you both on the PCa front xx

Good luck CC

CJ, he played front row for 33 years - definitely needs new knees! But yes, all those things have helped him delay surgery until now and he has a very different outlook to you and I .... where we see potential risk, he sees only positive outcomes. The physio daughter will be moving in post-op to make sure he does all his exercises properly 🤣

Brilliant news Lyn.

You're right in that yesterday was a sad day when a Hero was laid to rest and even though our hearts to go out Julie and her family, what we also needed was a bit of a boost and you've given us that.

Congratulations

Hi Lyn,

Good news with the PSA.

Hope the knees will get sorted but unfortunate about lull in the dancing.

You are probably far too young to remember it but there is always the hand jive as a poor substitute.

All the best

Two PSA results in one day:-

Dad - now up to 0.7 - we have discussed and he is not going to do anything except test again in 12 months time

John - <0.1 again ... to be honest, we can't believe our luck! Just goes to show that even if it does rise over the dreaded 0.1 it doesn't necessarily mean biochemical recurrence.

Fantastic news regarding John’s PSA Lyn

Must have been a wee bit of a worry for a bit there when it popped over 0.1

Celebrate good times

If it’s possible in this world of PCa it looks like a double win lyn. John seems ultra stable and dad is dad with his mind made up so far. Can’t say I blame him given the scores xx

Hi Lyn, just popped in to say hello, and pleased to see your good news. I don't get on here much these days, but glad to see some old faces still jogging along. It's been over 4 years since my da Vinci op, and all is well with me and my PSA. Good luck to all. Diesel X.

Good news all round then Lyn as I get the feeling that Dad will do as he pleases anyway and I applaud him for it.

Kind regards
